360° Underwater National Park | National Geographic


[Music]
initially I just wanted to be an
underwater Explorer
[Music]
but shortly after becoming a diaper
[Music]
realize that a perfect way for me to
explore the ocean with with the camera
my name is Brian scary and my National
Geographic magazine photographer
specializes in ocean wildlife
Island is this spectacular coral
reef you feel like you’re in a storybook
we drift to this place and you see he
stands of alcohol reaching up like the
uplifted arms of the statute to the sky
and they have that beautiful orange e
golden color
[Music]
I’m here in Park Island as one of the
components of my story for National
Geographic magazine
right now you know there are very few
places in US waters that are fully
protected but yet on land the National
Parks has been called America’s best
idea
Oh
single photograph can move that agenda
forward and really wake people up
[Music]
there’s a lot of stresses on sea turtle
populations
in countless places protected those
memories in recovery
the beach watching the hatchlings emerge
your heart goes out to these little guys
they’re they’re struggling as they break
through their shell and dig out through
the sand
and these little beautiful nuggets of
turtle have to scramble to the ocean
[Music]
I feel
to be able to see it
[Music]
[Music]
Island who’s one of the very first
marine National Monument that was
created by President Kennedy in 1961
I’m the heir you see that glowing
crystal clear water
I wasn’t green it is June
I think my role is the photographer is
to tell a story
I want to use the centennial anniversary
of the National Park Service in the ad
States of America to bring attention to
places that are protected and places not
yet protected but ones that we hope
someday would be
[Music]
these places are vulnerable and they’re
fragile and a single bottom trawl net
could tow through one of these places
and destroy us degeneration and it would
be done with a whimper nobody would ever
know that it exists
but I think there’s also reasons to be
hopeful I think we’re at a moment in
history where we at least know what can
happen if you protect like that they
didn’t come back that the ocean is
resilient with the right amount of
protection that management was these
places will restore themselves
[Music]
Oh
[Music]
you
