Artist Statement
Most Pacific Islands have coral reefs with marine creatures found nowhere else. These habitats face major threats, are turning white and bleaching – creating ecological disaster. The main cause of bleaching is changing sea temperature due to global warming and greenhouse emissions. A 2050 world imagines action now to combat global warming and ease its effects. This will empower ecologists and marine biologists who are demonstrating that given time and help, corals will adapt and regenerate.
