Captured in the serene waters of the dive site Alligator Head within the East Portland Fish Sanctuary, this image, which I've titled "Outreach," depicts the gentle sway of the Condylactis gigantea, a Caribbean sea anemone. Its elegant form mirrors the undulating landscape of the sanctuary, where freshwater springs weave a soft haze into the sea, creating an almost mystical atmosphere.
This snapshot, seized while freediving, speaks to the tranquil yet vibrant essence of Jamaica's underwater realms. The scientific name Condylactis gigantea belies its potent defense mechanisms, its regenerative powers, and its unexpected role in scientific research due to its fluorescent proteins.Hanging this image in a living space doesn't just adorn a wall—it invites a slice of the Caribbean's underwater ballet into your home. Its presence is a conversation starter, offering tales of the sea and a view that distinguishes any room with its natural elegance and quiet strength.
Ocean Conservation Tip: There are many products directly linked to harming endangered or threatened species, unsustainable fishing methods and pollution. For example, avoid cosmetics that contain shark squalene, jewelry made of coral or sea turtle shell, souvenir shells of conchs, nautiluses and other animals, and single-use plastics like straws and water bottles that can end up in our oceans. These products support unsustainable fishing and threaten important species and ecosystems.
