All the Fish in the Sea
Photograph by Jeff Hester, National Geographic Your Shot
Your Shot member Jeff Hester was drawn to make this image because, he says, I believe this is what our oceans should look like. But Cabo Pulmo, a marine park off Mexicos Baja California peninsula, hasn't always been this way. In 1995, [the] park was established by local citizens to counteract depleted reef fishes and marine life due to overfishing, he says. Today, the biomass is booming, and the ecosystem is returning to a healthy state. For this particular image, I wanted to show some scale ... so I had my wife, seen in the foreground, swim ahead of me.
