About The Save Our Seas Foundation
The Save Our Seas Foundation has funded over 425 projects in 85 countries around the globe since its inception in 2003. Focusing primarily on sharks and rays, each project strives for deeper understanding and more innovative solutions in marine research, conservation and education. With the experience and maturity we have gained during the past twenty years, we look forward to the next decade as an ongoing evolutionary and refining process. We continue to grow and learn as a foundation, seeking out and supporting the best and brightest people whose innovative projects make a real and lasting impact on the health of our oceans – and ultimately for every person on the planet.
"Images have a profound capacity to affect how people view the world, and at SOSF we are all about encouraging positive change in how people view and interact with the marine environment. As such we are delighted to partner with the Marine Conservation Photographer of the Year award, which is uniquely placed to highlight issues our oceans are facing and inspire change."
Dr James Lea, CEO of the Save Our Seas Foundation
"It is often said that the secret of success is finding the right people to work with and it would be difficult to think of a more perfectly dovetailed combination than UPY and The Save Our Seas Foundation. Their focused projects are improving the health of our oceans and in doing so they are providing UPY entrants with a bounty of beauty to work with."
Peter Rowlands, UPY Judge
