National Geographic’s Pristine Seas exhibit showcases striking images of the world’s marine conservation expeditions over the past decade. Nearly 60 photos by Enric Sala and other photographers show how National Geographic’s pristine oceans team is helping indigenous peoples, communities and governments create marine reserves. I’m here. Since 2008, the team has conducted 36 expeditions from tropical reefs to icebergs and helped establish 27 marine protected areas covering more than 6.5 million square kilometers. “This exhibit is a testament to the Pristine Seas team’s unwavering commitment to preserving the blue heart of our planet,” said Kathryn Keane of National Geographic. It’s about showing why we need to protect our oceans, while immersing them in what’s cool.”
