390 Km off the coast of Mexico there lies a small chain of remote islands and rock
pinnacles. These islands are home to an astonishing bio-diversity that includes a variety
of sharks and oceanic mantas. This series is part of a larger body of work about the
beauty of pelagic species and their dwindling global numbers. The only hope for marine
conservation is that humans find a reason to re-align their relationship with these
creatures.
