Photographer and ocean advocate Richard Salas takes us on an underwater adventure swimming in the safety of his images with great white sharks, 18-foot manta rays and grimacing red-lipped batfish. Along with his love of these, his “family and friends”, Richard emphasizes the critical importance of practicing good stewardship on our watery planet. He points out that the ocean is responsible for over 50% of our oxygen and an integral part of our climate. Based on his critically acclaimed 3 books the "Sea of Light Collection", Richard gently and with powerful images introduces us to the beauty and majesty of some of the most endangered and misunderstood inhabitants of the ocean. Visitors also learn how with some small changes in behavior in their daily lives they can help make a difference in preserving the balance of life in the ocean and consequently, on our planet.
