Series Statement
The winning image from Sarah Davis's series "Bleached" shows a clownfish peeking out of a sea anemone in the Great Barrier Reef. The clownfish is covered in white spots, which are a result of bleaching caused by rising water temperatures.
This photo was taken in the Great Barrier Reef, which is one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. It is home to over 1,500 species of fish, as well as coral and other marine life. However, the reef is under threat from climate change and other human activities. Rising water temperatures are causing coral bleaching, which can kill corals and damage the ecosystem.
Sarah Davis's photo shows the impacts of climate change on the Great Barrier Reef in a powerful and intimate way. The clownfish, which is covered in white spots, is peeking out of a sea anemone. The spots are a result of bleaching caused by rising water temperatures. This photo highlights the importance of taking action to protect our planet's ecosystems.
I think this photo is important because it shows the impacts of climate change on one of the world's most biodiverse ecosystems. It also highlights the importance of taking action to protect our planet's ecosystems.
