A woman lies on the seabed, surrounded by fragments of a dead coral reef. "This photo shows how we have become engulfed by our own destruction as a result of poor climate change practices," says photographer André Musgrove. "I wanted to bring attention to the issue of coral reef death due to both natural and human causes. With the rise of climate change, nations like The Bahamas have become increasingly susceptible to stronger hurricanes that have wreaked havoc on Bahamian islands."
