sentinels of change

Researchers have established that penguin species are already feeling the brunt of global warming. What does the future hold for these charismatic flightless birds?

inspiring change

On Australia’s John Brewer Reef, situated within the realms of the Great Barrier Reef, the Museum of Underwater Art seeks to foster change by blending art, marine science, and conservation.

last refuge

During the summer of 2022, the red sea fans of the western Mediterranean basin experienced a major mortality episode. Shortly after, a scientific exploration programme came across a glimmer of hope: red gorgonians in deeper realms were able to resist climate change.

ground zero for ospreys

Around 20,000 ospreys are attracted to Chesapeake Bay annually. The decline of one little fish, however, is playing a significant role in the decreasing breeding success of the species.

swimming with purpose

Every year, over 100 juvenile whale sharks visit the waters around Mexico’s La Paz. As seen in many whale shark hotspots around the world, a rapidly growing whale shark tourism sector quickly resulted in numerous problems for the animals. Widespread campaigning and a collaborative conservation approach, however, managed to turn the face of the city’s whale shark tourism programme around.

BEHIND THE LENS
