Somersaulting manta rays, dashing dolphins, swarming schools of fish and munching sharks inhabit a world beneath the ocean's surface that few get a chance to see. Conservation photographer Thomas Peschak visits incredible seascapes around the world, and his photos reveal these hidden ecosystems. "You can't love something and become a champion for it if you don't know it exists," he says. Join Peschak in a new, immersive TED Talk format as he shares his stunning work and his dream for a future of respectful coexistence with the ocean.

Now this is different. Instead of an audience, someone actually tells you about their living by being surrounded by it. Nice.

As a marine biologist turned photographer, l've spent most of my career looking for places as magical as those used to dream about when was little. As you can see, I began exploring bodies of water at a fairly young age. But the first time I truly went underwater, I was about 10 years old. And I can still vividly remember furiously finning to reach this old, encrusted cannon on a shallow coral reef. And when I finally managed to grab hold of it, I looked up, and I was instantly surrounded by fish in all colors of the rainbow. That was the day I fell in love with the ocean

One of the first things I wanted to be as a child was a underwater photographer. I have no idea why. I don't remember ever seeing any inspiring video or photos but I just remember feeling it. So very cool to see the insights of what its like. Very beautiful.

I've always wanted to be an oceanographer so when I'm older I'm going to learn how to scuba dive and use the underwater camera and I want to go places like Bahamas and Hawaii and take cool pictures of sharks!I also want to see at least one megalodon bone / tooth in my lifetime.

As a kid. I used to dream about the ocean. It was this wild place full of color and life, home to these alien-looking, fantastical creatures. I pictured big sharks ruling the food chain and saw graceful sea turtles dancing across coral reefs.

And while this approach has merits, have come full circle. I believe that the best way for me to effect change is to sell love. I guess I'm a matchmaker of sorts and as a photographer, I have the rare opportunity to reveal animals and entire ecosystems that lie hidden beneath the ocean's surface. You can't love something and become a champion for it if you don't know it exists. Uncovering this -- that is the power of conservation photography.

In my 40 years on this planet, l've had the great privilege to explore some of its most incredible seascapes for National Geographic Magazine and the Save Our Seas Foundation. I've photographed everything from really, really big sharks to dainty ones that fit in the palm of your hand. I've smelled the fishy, fishy breath of humpback whales feeding just feet away from me in the cold seas off Canada's Great Bear Rainforest. And I've been privy to the mating rituals of green sea turtles in the Mozambique Channel.

Very few people know about Bassas da India, except those of us who used to peruse the CIA World Factbook before Wikipedia took off. Bassas da India was the least populated entry on their list of "countries" or whatever they called them. This is also how I discovered gems like Vatican City and Tuvalu.

Everyone on this planet affects and is affected by the ocean. And the pristine seas I used to dream of as a child are becoming harder and harder to find. They are becoming more compressed and more threatened. As we humans continue to maintain our role as the leading predator on earth, l've witnessed and photographed many of these ripple effects firsthand. For a long time, I thought I had to shock my audience out of their indifference with disturbing images.

Anyone know of jobs or careers that let you travel all over the world, even remote places. Where you go somewhere, study the land, the environment, the animals, and the people too, like their culture or religion. I really have a passion to explore Earth's greatest phenomenons. I guess I want to be some sort of explorer. Any advice, like what education to receive, or companies that offer something like this, or even military experience or pilot training or whatever? I want to explore, I want to know. Please and thank you! ☺️
