Communicating the Wonder of Our Oceans Through Spectacular Imagery

About the Project

The Value of a Powerful Image

At the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation, we strongly believe in the value of a powerful image. Perhaps because it helps make an emotional connection to a creature many of us will never meet, or it illustrates a concealed threat to our coral reefs, or it inspires us to take a moment to reflect and appreciate all that the oceans can offer us. For these reasons and more we try use spectacular underwater imagery in our scientific reports and publications, outreach and education materials, social and digital media outlets, and in our stories that appear in the news.

Spectacular Ocean Imagery

During the Global Reef Expedition, photographers from the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP) joined us to capture the extraordinary beauty and diversity of the world’s coral reefs. Jürgen Freund revealed the wonders of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, Michele Westmorland showcased the vibrant marine life and culture of French Polynesia, and Keith Ellenbogen brought Palau’s spectacular reefs and wildlife to life through his lens. Together, their images offer an intimate glimpse into some of the most breathtaking marine ecosystems on Earth.
