The Chronicles 23 artwork portrays a school of fish captured by Daniel Nicholson. Reflecting on the overall health of our oceans, we are reminded that more than half of the world's oxygen is produced by photosynthetic plankton in the ocean. The oceans also store 90% of excess heat generated by the burning of fossil fuels, acting as a crucial “carbon sink” to moderate the effects of global warming. Due to the results of climate change, scientists estimate that one million species are at risk of extinction, including a third of all marine species. Increased CO2 absorption has made the surface waters of the ocean about 30% more acidic since the Industrial Revolution, and this is occurring at the fastest rate since the age of the dinosaurs. This not only poses a threat to coral reefs and marine biodiversity worldwide, but also to worldwide food security. For the planet to survive – a healthy ocean is essential.

Located on the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia, Daniel Nicholson is one of the globe’s most prominent professional underwater photographers. He seeks to share the beauty and magic of the underwater world to inspire conservation and change.
