1st place Conservation (Hope) Photographer of the Year

Nicolas Remy Australia

30°56'18.1"S 153°06'01.4"E

An aggregation of critically endangered grey nurse sharks at Fish Rock Island, NSW, Australia. "The sharks are often scattered around the island," says photographer Nicolas Remy, "but on that summer's day, the water temperature had dropped from 25 to 17 degrees Celsius due to upwelling, which drove the sharks to gather in the shallows in search of extra warmth. It felt great swimming amongst such a packed, natural gathering of wild sharks - no baiting. A reminder that nature can thrive, if we give it a chance."
