Below the Surface is meant to capture the beauty, possibility, and complexity that our underwater ecosystems possess. These ecosystems are diverse, symbiotic, fragile, and sensitive to their surroundings. Human behavior has impacted and disrupted aquatic environments with ocean plastic pollution, increased water temperatures from CO2 emissions, and overfishing. While humans continue to revere in the beauty of the underwater world through tourism and sport, the appearance of bleached coral in popular scuba diving and snorkeling spots have made the negative impacts more obvious to the naked eye. Despite these challenges, underwater ecosystems hold promising regenerative solutions – like seaweed that sequesters carbon, and heat-resistant coral in the Red Sea – which will help our world adapt to a changing climate.
