From entangled, lifeless birds to large nets getting pulled out of the water by multiple people, this year’s focus on this issue highlights the fact that we urgently need to do more about it. On a more positive note, we’ve received more fine art ocean photographs than ever before which is an exciting trend. It seems like an increasing amount of underwater photographers seek more creative ways to showcase the intricate details of marine life and the ocean as a whole through their camera lenses.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
