Marine habitat restoration is in its infancy, particularly compared with tropical marine and terrestrial habitats. We hope to use what we learn from this project to create a blueprint for restoring temperate marine habitats elsewhere.
Before they start on their long migration north, the friendly whales of San Ignacio Lagoon in Mexico get a warm send-off from people in boats who are thrilled by the up-close encounters.

He then watches as fish move into their new home as the sunken ship now turns in to a beautiful artificial reef.

Now he catches them for their own good. Peter’s Santa Barbara Marine Mammal Rescue Center helps stranded, injured, and entangled marine mammals recover and gives them the ultimate gift – their freedom.

I am also excited that we will be bringing together local communities to start developing the “Vision for the Seascape Recovery Plan”. This plan will be a toolkit so that everyone, landowners to residents, local industries to recreation lovers will know what they can do to help protect their fragile and precious Solent habitats.
At both schools, Alfie heads up a team of highly trained instructors and training coordinators, all of whom are extremely passionate and motivated in their work.
However, ocean photography is not as simple as general landscape photography. There are many complex factors that you need to control and be aware of if you want to succeed. Elephant seals are champion divers that go nearly a mile deep in search of food. But it’s on land that they play out an important part of their social life, the males fighting over beach territory to win a harem of females. Main video: https://youtu.be/IY7dmzAFkUM Q&A video: https://youtu.be/5VvMLGiPYk4 Shutter speed is the cornerstone of beach photography, and setting the right shutter speed will make the difference between a good or a superb ocean photo. Coral reefs are to the sea what rainforests are to the land. Both are productive, limited in scale, and have an incredibly diverse number of species. Reefs occupy only 1/10th of one percent of the ocean bottom, yet 1/4 of all the species in the sea make their home on coral reefs.
Most people are afraid of sharks, but only about a dozen of the world’s 440 species of sharks and 630 species rays are dangerous. All of them are fascinating, having risen to the top of the marine food chain without having a single bone in their bodies.

But off of Hawaii, one monk seal loves to swim with people and nobody knows why. Was he in a zoo? Was he somebody’s pet? Now the seal has returned to his own wild world but the mystery lingers.

Everyone in the ocean swims in a different way. Knowing why can tell you a lot about their lives, including what they eat and what eats them. Main video: https://youtu.be/-hb567-pqtY Q&A video: https://youtu.be/vkuNzSmrSKA In the sea, some creatures offer their offspring no parental care and could seem to care less about a stable home but others are fiercely protective of their young and their territory.

Spend some time watching the sea before setting up your gear and be aware of the coastal hazards while shooting.
Composition is the key to creating beautiful seascapes. Take the time to find the best seascape composition. The anemone has a carpet of stinging tentacles, but the clownfish feels right at home: it is immune to the stingers and uses them to protect itself and its eggs from predators. In return, it protects the anemone from certain species of fish that like to munch on the anemone’s tentacles. It's a win/win relationship! Main video: https://youtu.be/ALchuPgwniM Q&A video: https://youtu.be/gwkBQizoFuo Just like people, sea creatures have buddies that they like to hang out with. Sometimes the relationship is mutually beneficial to both, as in the classic relationship between the clownfish and the anemone. However, often one of the partners reaps all of the rewards, as in the case of the shark and the hitchhiking remora. Main video: https://youtu.be/DwChhmaF8hg Q&A video: https://youtu.be/r1q18OaX4n4Millions of years ago, the ancestors of marine mammal walked on land. Today, whales, dolphins and pinnipeds rule the sea. From blubber to blowholes, a series of ingenious adaptations help these warm-blooded creatures flourish in a cold-water world.

Many of these creatures are called plankton. They drift through the ocean like spaceships and make colorful patterns of light.
