PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST RULES: “Ocean Heroes”

WHO ARE THE OCEAN HEROES?

They are not only the scientists who study the deep sea or the NGOs that champion conservation. They are also the fishermen who, through their traditions and sustainable techniques, maintain the balance of the marine ecosystem. They are the educators who inspire new generations to love and protect the ocean. They are, in short, all those people who, through their daily dedication, contribute to the health and sustainability of our oceans for future generations.

The #OceanHeroes contest is open to everyone! Capture the essence of these heroes and their impact on marine life with your photos. Share their inspiring stories, their tenacity and their efforts to preserve this vital ecosystem.
