As a marine ecologist, Brian Zgliczynski has spent the last two decades exploring and studying some of the most remote and intact coral reef ecosystems. His research focuses on understanding interactions among species and how the structure and function of coral reef communities changes through time and space. Zgliczynski uses photography to complement his research and document his experiences.
Despite myriad threats, some coral reefs are thriving, or rebounding, suggesting it may be far too early to write the obituary for these critical ecosystems.
