Finalist Conservation Photographer of the Year

Rodrigo Thome Brazil

23°04'24.4"S 43°11'56.4"W

Dead fish in a ghost net. “Diving in a protected area off Rio de Janeiro, we found this ghost net,” says photographer Rodrigo Thome. “As well as dead fish, we saw others trying to escape the net, without success. We cut some free, but many were too exhausted to survive. I used my camera to register some of the worst moments of my underwater life. Those fighting fish still haunt my dreams.”
