Collect. Conserve. Change the World.
Did you know that 50-80% of all life on earth can be found within the ocean?
About 25% of marine life depends on coral reefs at some point during their life cycle and over half a billion people worldwide rely on coral reefs for food, income, and protection.
It is estimated that the world's coral reefs provide about $29.8 BILLION to the economy annually through tourism and recreation, coastal protection, and fisheries.
Unfortunately, approximately 50% of the world's reefs have died in the past 30 years due to pollution, overfishing, and climate change; and up to 90% may die within the next century.
Together, we can save the reefs! NF Seas is a collection of up to 500 photographs of reefs and reef creatures from around the world. With each sale, you will be contributing to the TC Reef Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and conserving coral reefs.
25% of the proceeds from each sale will be donated to the TC Reef Fund and 2.5% of each resale
