Blue never stands alone. Green shapes it, softens it, and sustains it. When green touches blue living systems come into view habitats that fuel food webs, regulate climate, and keep the ocean thriving. These colours show us that ocean health grows from within, not just from what we see at the surface.

Look closer. Learn more. Protect what makes the blue possible.

Nothing I have achieved came from shortcuts or by chance.
It came from persistence, rejection, risk—and learning how to turn pictures into influence. In my upcoming webinar with The Underwater Club, I will share my secrets, trade secrets revealed for the very first time in the public domain.
For the first time, I will share the real journey behind my career—
how I first got published, how personal projects evolved into global stories, and how my first successful book went on to be adopted by Indonesia as a Gift of State.
This session is not about theory. It is about what actually works.
I will also share the story behind SOULS—
a deeply personal project and book I created as a living memoir,
featuring shared reflections and legacy from Dr. Sylvia Earle, David Doubilet, Jennifer Hayes, Richard Pyle, Brian Greene and myself.
SOULS is not just a book. It is about alignment—of purpose, values, and voice. Because success in this industry is not only about talent-
it is about positioning, credibility, and knowing where your work belongs.
In this session, I will also cover:
• How to get your work published (magazines, books, institutions)
• What editors really look for—and what makes them say yes
• How to conceive, position, and pitch your first book
• How to build projects that attract the right collaborators
• Why alignment matters more than exposure
• The mistakes I made—so you don’t have to
If you are serious about taking your photography further—
from passion to publication, from images to impact,
from personal work to lasting legacy—
This session is for you.

There is a quiet world we don’t often see. Our actions still shape whether it survives.

Here’s what you can do now and what we can no longer ignore.
Turn awareness into action and choose habits that help the ocean breathe again. Real change begins with intention and it grows every time we decide to live with care choosing better materials reducing what we throw away, and supporting efforts that keep our blue planet alive. Every mindful choice strengthens the ocean’s future.

Spread this message and read what matters.
Let every shared truth become a ripple that keeps our planet’s lungs alive. 🧡🌏

A REALITY CHECK FROM OUR ARCHIVE — THEN & NOW:

Years ago, when this page first appeared in our magazine it wasn’t designed to shock it was designed to wake us up. The plastic crisis was already visible, drifting across the ocean surface like silent warning signs. Today, this same page feels even more urgent, because the problem has not gone away it has grown.

The ocean is now calling for awareness and responsibility. A reminder that what we do to the ocean, we eventually do to ourselves. Understanding the crisis is the first step acting on it is the next. Help us bring more awareness, truth, and solutions to the surface.

Let’s take a moment this weekend to honour ocean wildlife the kind most of us will never see firsthand. This scene captured by Sylvie Ayer reminds us that the ocean is alive with rhythm and purpose. A shark gliding through a swirling community of fish shows the balance that nature holds, even when we’re not watching.

Reflecting on wildlife conservation doesn’t end on a single day it continues in how we understand the ocean’s value. It means protecting habitats so every creature has space to live, grow, and contribute to the balance of the sea. And it means valuing biodiversity, because a world rich in life is a world strong enough to adapt, evolve, and endure. True conservation is not about control it’s about coexistence the understanding that we are part of nature, not separate from it.

Beneath the surface, the ocean moves with quiet purpose studying each other in stillness, gliding side-by-side, exchanging a brief moment of curiosity. These are more than beautiful encounters they reveal how every species plays a role in keeping the sea alive. When we pay attention to these small connections we begin to understand the real strength of the ocean: life holding life together. The choices we make today influence these rhythms tomorrow, and the future of our blue planet rises or falls with how deeply we value the world beneath the waves.

Why Protection Matters 🌏

We live in a world where gentle giants like this whale shark pass through the blue with quiet purpose, asking only for the chance to exist. But the ocean they depend on grows more fragile each year, and their survival now rests on the choices we make. Protection matters because it turns hope into action it draws a line between losing a species and giving it the space to recover. It reminds us that the ocean is not infinite, and neither is the life it holds. When we choose to protect, we choose a future where creatures like this still roam the open sea, unchased, unharmed, and undeniably alive.

And as we move forward, we carry this truth:
Protection is not a single moment it is a responsibility. What we defend today becomes the ocean future generations will inherit. Every choice we make can either diminish or safeguard the life that still survives in our seas.

Welcoming the first day of December with gratitude for the lives we fight to protect.

As the month begins, moments like this guide us forward urging us to stay committed to protecting a blue world that still holds so much life.
After last week’s historic conservation win, we turn our attention back to the ocean and to the species whose futures now hold a little more light. This reef manta ray, photographed by Lureen Ferretti, glides over a vibrant coral garden with a calm that feels almost timeless. In the steady rhythm of its wings, we are reminded of what is still worth saving the beauty, the balance, and the quiet wonder that define a healthy ocean.

A historic victory for has emerged from CoP20 of CITES. For the first time, every proposed protection for sharks and rays passed a bold message that the world is finally choosing action over decline. Oceanic whitetip sharks, whale sharks, and all ten species of manta and devil rays are now listed under CITES Appendix I, stopping all international commercial trade and giving these threatened giants the real chance they need to recover. It is one of the strongest protections global law can offer, arriving at a moment when many populations are disappearing faster than we can count them.

Nations also agreed to stop exports of wild-caught wedgefish and giant guitarfish, and introduced new regulated trade rules for gulper, smoothhound, and tope sharks a clear sign that the global community is beginning to value marine life as essential, not expendable. This decision represents far more than policy progress it reflects a renewed global commitment to rebuild the ocean’s resilience. Protecting sharks and rays means safeguarding the balance, movement, and life that keep our blue planet alive.

Another look from OGPICOTY 2025 Finalist collection a striking moment captured by Mignon, revealing the gentle side of one of Australia’s most endangered marine mammals. Australian sea lions are now at the edge of survival with their numbers declining faster than they can recover. Yet in this frame, we see a rare calm curiosity, connection, and the quiet grace of a species that has learned to navigate a changing ocean.

The Warty Frogfish (Antennarius maculatus) is one of the ocean’s most extraordinary ambush hunters a master of disguise able to melt into the reef and strike faster than a blink. This brilliant yellow individual, captured by OGPICOTY Finalist Janelle Ewing, is just one of the many breathtaking treasures of our seas that we will be sharing. But wonders like this exist only where reefs are healthy. As warming waters, pollution, and coastal pressures intensify, the fragile habitats they rely on are disappearing.
