Eye in the Sky

Every one of these photos has a subject. Can you find them?

I have enlarged the final image because nobody on the @tropicair flight believed that I saw a group of manatees from the sky! I went as far as to Google other images of 'manatees from above' in order to prove my case. Well, you be the judge... Manatees or nada?

I guess you could say it is... Un-Belize-able 😎

Mangroves are an incredibly important part of the coastal ecosystem.

The density allows for a protected breeding ground for a number of fish. A study of one area found that reefs close by to mangroves have up to x25 more fish than those where the mangrove had been removed or destroyed.

This inturn generates tourism through snorkeling and boosting the local fishing economy - which is often the sole source in income for remote coastal communities.

They also protect coastlines from erosion by reducing size and power of waves.

According to @wwf , the goods and services generated from mangroves generate $186 million US per year.

✓ increased marine life through protected environment
✓ less erosion of land masses
✓ ability for local businesses to generate higher income

Daaaaamn nature.

I got these shots from my @tropicair flight from Caye Caulker to San Ignacio, somewhere just outside of Belize City.

Any guesses what this is?

Tropic Thunder.

I think I spent the majority of this flight with my mouth open.

Being high above the water allowed you to see everything within it. All the coral reefs, the sea grass fields and the not so distant storms.

Down, but not out.

This spectacular moment was stumbled upon by complete chance. Furthering my belief to absolutely, always, under no exception - BRING THE CAMERA EVERYWHERE.

My favourite images from 2019 and the reasons why:

1. The first documentation of humpback whale 'Meniscus' in BC from returning from it's migration. At the time, this was the closest my assist-leader @_tash_mills_ had been to a whale. We were just as excited as the guests. I saw the whales direction of travel and paddled real hard in order to line up this fluke shot.

2. Being woken up by a cinnimon bear from taking a nap in my van (with the door open). I was up all night looking for the aurora.

3. A transient killer whale tagging a Pacific white sided dolphin on my first day back on Quadra Island.

4. Watching the sunset glow on the Bretons from my home for the summer.

5. A photo of a moment. One of my biggest achievements as a photographer so far. That camera got me, Fran and my brother a seat on the plane.

Here's to what next year will bring ✌️
