Swimming in Paradise

Technical Details

Panasonic LUMIX GH4, LUMIX G Vario 7-14mm, F/4.0, ISO 200

This underwater image of a double saddle butterflyfish group was shot on a coral reef off the coast of Tahiti. As you can see, the water is incredibly clear, and we saw amazing numbers of wonderful, colorful tropical fish. The tranquility of this scene belies the difficulties all reef fish are experiencing as climate change warms our ocean waters.

While in Tahiti, I heard about an amazing resort that is trying to make a difference. It’s called The Brando, started by Marlon Brando. To reduce their carbon footprint, they have implemented some very interesting renewable energy programs including seawater air conditioning, solar energy, coconut biofuel, and newly developed batteries for power storage.

National Geographic is a good website to learn more about our life-sustaining oceans. To support the conservation of our oceans, visit Mission Blue.
