The ocean is our greatest natural resource. It covers most of or our planet and is the source of most life on earth. It regulates our climate and weather and produces much of the earth’s oxygen. Most of us depend on it for food, medicines and raw materials, such as oil and minerals, and many of us enjoy and study various aspects of it, often times passionately.

I spend as much time in the ocean as I can, either doing a sport or with a camera in my hands. Underwater photography helps me learn about and appreciate the marine world. Experiencing the ocean has been one of my greatest fortunes.

The ocean is home to over half of the earth’s species. This incredible diversity of life, often dazzling in its various forms and color patterns, has been experienced, studied, enjoyed and documented. Yet much of it remains unseen, and, sadly, some of it is disappearing.

As we populate and develop this earth our impacts, such as overfishing, pollution, habitat destruction and climate change, are increasingly damaging marine ecosystems.

The mission of Blue Reef Photography is to share the ocean’s wonders and to create awareness of its plight, thereby inspiring us to develop a stronger sea ethic; and to support those people and organizations that best know how to help.

As a result, all net proceeds will be donated to non-profit organizations that effectively work toward marine conservation.
