Coelacanth; A prehistoric fish once thought to be extinct found living in modern times. The Coelacanth Rescue Mission strives to preserve these remarkable fish from the danger of extinction they now face.

On the 30th July 1998, a Coelacanth population was discovered by American and Indonesian scientists off Sulawesi, Indonesia. This is about 10, 000 km east of where Coelacanths were previously known to occur in the Western Indian Ocean.
