April highlights from Image Quest Marine
Photo of the Month
Our photo of the month shows a discarded fishing net, captured by photographer, Lou Luddington, on a recent dive. The shot belongs to a special ‘Seaspiracy’ photo collection we recently launched, with images related to the new Netflix film. The trending documentary is generating lots of debate on the fishing industry’s effect on the ocean. Our collection features photography of discarded nets and their effect on marine wildlife, as well as other aspects of the commercial fishing industry, all captured by Image Quest Marine photographers.
