The Sea

32 images Created 5 Jun 2007

The start of a personal project - having fun holding my breath, playing in the salt and sand, while getting knocked around by waves. No place I'd rather be.

This series is part of a long-term project about mankind's relationship with the world's oceans. Oceans provide food, recreation, transportation, and environmental resources for mankind. However, the interaction is taking a toll. Human encroachment, including pollution, over-fishing, and climate change, is destroying the fragile ecosystems that humans depend on for the life as we know it on this planet.

  • A waves breaks at Carolina Beach, NC, where erosion has caused the government to begin beach renourishment to protect homes and buildings. Although the movement of sand is a natural (and usually gradual) process, recent storms have caused an urgency for the dredging of offshore sand to replace the shore that has been eaten away.  Many barrier islands are increasingly being developed with multi-million dollar homes and resorts, even though the areas are little more than high sandbars.

  • A school of Manta Rays feeds, gliding with open mouths through cloudy, plankton rich water off the coast of Panama. Many species of fish are diminishing in numbers as a result of pollution and overfishing. Sea-life worldwide is being drastically effected by these and other forms of human intrusion.

  • Surfers ride the swells brought by Hurricane Isabel to Wrightsville Beach, Nc. Some climate experts theorize that if global warming continues, as the oceans' temperature increases, so will the frequency and intensity of hurricanes.

  • A beach chair and umbrella stand abandoned on the shore as a fast-moving thunderhead approaches on Wrightsville Beach, NC. As trash and pollution left on beaches kills scores of sea-life every year, this image is a fitting metaphor end result that could occur if mankind does not change it's the treatment of the worlds beaches and oceans.

  • A Manta Ray feeds, swimming through plankton rich waters off Lady Elliot Island, Australia - the southern-most coral cay of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Mantas feed on plankton, fish larvae and the like, filtered from the water passing through their gills as they swim. They catch small prey on flat horizontal plates of spongy tissue spanning spaces between the manta's gill bars (or arches). The manta's gill arches help it to feed by operating as a filtration system: water is sucked in through the mouth and pumped out through the gill slits. The plankton that is sucked into the manta's mouth along with the water is caught by the gill arches and siphoned into its stomach.

  • Fishermen organize their nets on the beach of Santa Catalina, Panama. The numbers of sea-life in the nearby waters have drastically declined in the last ten years. Overfishing is of great concern worldwide as fish numbers around the globe continue to plummet. Many species of fish are diminishing in numbers as a result of pollution and overfishing. Sea-life worldwide is being drastically effected by these and other forms of human intrusion.
