SEA FORESTS AT THE END OF THE WORLD

The Argentinian coastline is one of the least explored in the world. Yet the Mitre Peninsula in the south-east of the country holds many of the world’s kelp forests. The recent approval of a law to permanently protect the area gives hope for the future.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF WILD

The Florida Everglades are a unique and diverse ecosystem coined by wetlands, forests and rivers that connect Lake Okeechobee with Florida Bay. But beyond its beautiful facade lies the reality that this place is dying.

GLIMMER OF HOPE

The Galapagos Islands are home to the last 300 critically endangered Floreana mockingbirds on earth. After enduring years of human-induced pressures, a group of scientists is trying to turn the tide on one of the world’s rarest birds.

CLEAN-UP CREW

In April, the Australian autumn of 2022, Western Australia’s Ningaloo Reef witnessed an annual coral spawning event that didn’t go to plan. Sharks emerged as the silent heroes.

SELLING THE SEAS

Location: A remote island in the South Pacific with limited connectivity to the outside world. Population: Around 2,500 locals, a dozen or so tourists and countless whales. With 4G set to arrive this year, conservations ask themselves how it will affect locals and wildlife conservation.

BEHIND THE LENS (IN ASSOCIATION WITH SEALEGACY)

Each issue, we chat with one of the world’s leading ocean photographers and showcase a selection of their work. In this special edition, we met up with award-winning underwater photographer Steve Woods.
