BOLINAO, Philippines (AFP) — Marine biologist Suzanne Licuanan leans over the side of her battered blue and white motor boat to collect another bag of her precious cargo -- giant clam sperm.
Holding up the bag containing eight litres (14 pints) of the cloudy liquid, she says: "It looks like buko (coconut) juice, doesn't it."
The world's largest shell fish weighing up to 230 kilos (507 pounds) and measuring up to 1.4 metres (4.5 feet) in length, the Tridacna gigas was once a common sight in waters around the Philippine islands.

I love this shot. It is a great program they have started to save these giant clams. I would love to one day go there and join the team for a week or so.
