The first time I plunged into the ocean and opened my eyes to the bustling world of the coral reef was unforgettable. Equally remarkable has been the effect humans have imposed there, from rising temperatures and acidity to plastic pollution. This series is an intimate look into this complex system.

Dead is the reef we’ve known, crashing on the shore is the one we have forced into labor, birthed into something new.
