From the surface, the ocean looks the same to us humans year-round. But beneath the waves, the changing seasons bring forth epic underwater migrations and behaviors of marine life of all shapes and sizes, from mollusks to fish, sea turtles, sharks, groupers, and more.
By utilizing international award-winning photographs taken during thousands of hours underwater, Gabriel Jensen uses anecdotes of adventure paired with population data to tell the story of South Florida’s underwater seasons, what they mean for marine animals, and why it matters.
Gabriel is a photographer, biochemist, and photo-naturalist whose images of underwater microfauna have been featured by NOAA, BBC, Smithsonian Magazine, and National Geographic among others. His photographs of nudibranchs are the focus of a new exhibition Brilliant Colors of the Sea: Nudibranchs and Their Relatives, now on view at the Bailey-Matthews National Shells Museum & Aquarium.
