2nd place Conservation Photographer of the Year

Galice Hoarau Norway

The gull and the ghost fishing line. “Saltstraumen is a narrow channel with one of the strongest tidal currents in the world,” says photographer Galice Hoarau. “It is also a biodiversity hotspot and a marine protected area, but fishing is allowed and the dive sites are littered with fishing lines. These lines are deadly traps for wildlife, especially seabirds.”
