Inspired by the UK shark and marine conservation charity, Bite-Back, and its campaigns to halt the trade and consumption of threatened fish, each photographer has donated a breathtaking image along with individual commentary on the exploitation of the marine environment to create a unique, limited edition, 2012 calendar.
Featuring high definition underwater images from around the world including sharks, manta rays, turtles, marlin, stingrays, hairy frogfish and coral seascape, the calendar showcases the remarkable beauty beneath the waves while first hand insights from the photographers highlight key issues challenging the oceans, including over-fishing, pollution and tourism.
According to Bite-Back, the beautiful images in the calendar are the perfect illustration of what’s at stake. It is a sentiment echoed by legendary photographer, David Doubilet. He said: “As photographers we are all on the front lines of a war to protect our oceans for future generations. Each of us professionally approaches our subjects differently but the message we deliver to humanity is the same. As our oceans go so do we.”
Bite-Back plans for funds raised from the sale of the calendar to help finance its campaigns and motivate a change in fortune for the oceans by encouraging consumers to reconsider the fish they buy and for retailers to rethink the fish they sell.
In a perfect endorsement of its work, Mark Carwardine, co-presenter of ‘Last Chance to See’ with Stephen Fry, said:
“Bite-Back is running some remarkable and genuinely effective campaigns to halt the trade and consumption of sharks and other vulnerable fish species.
Its purposeful and intelligent approach is achieving some astonishing results in the UK and inspiring thousands of supporters around the world.”
