A turtle passes a bleached reef. "Due to the high water temperatures in the summer, the entire coral reef system in this area was seriously damaged," says photographer Ishino Shota. "Almost all of the zooxanthellae that aids the coral's biological activity has gone. A turtle swims past, as if observing the human destruction inflicted upon the reef."
