Unleashing the Blue Beast - A Stealthy Encounter in the Deep Waters
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are granted a privileged glimpse into the mysterious world of the Great Blue Shark. Against a backdrop of dark, enigmatic waters, this dorsal view showcases the sheer power and elegance of one of nature's most formidable predators. As our eyes wander over its streamlined body, we cannot help but feel awe for this magnificent creature. Yet, behind its beauty lies a sobering truth - over 20 million Blue Sharks fall victim to fishing each year as bycatch or due to their highly coveted fins. Taken in the Azores' North Atlantic region during September, Nuno Sa's photograph has been recognized as highly commendable in the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. It captures not only an endangered species on the move but also serves as a reminder that our actions have consequences for these tropical vertebrates. Let us cherish this moment frozen in time and reflect upon our role in preserving these incredible creatures. May it inspire us to protect and conserve their habitat so that future generations can continue to marvel at their stealth and grace beneath the waves.
