This corridor is called the Cocos-Galápagos Swimway. It is the habitat of countless highly endangered migratory species, from hammerhead and whale sharks, to leatherback sea turtles, dolphins, and seabirds.
As a marine biologist myself and an underwater photographer, with a deep love for the ocean and its wildlife, I couldn’t wait to be involved in this major effort to protect the ETP Seascape.
Diving at Darwin’s Arch was an aquatic paradise for us, but what we didn’t know was that we were going to be the last fortunate people to see the emblematic geological feature intact.
Crossing paths with these 21 remarkable expeditioners and crew members gave me back hope I didn’t know I’d lost.
The creative mentorship grant I received from Only One broadened my horizons, giving me a once-in-a-lifetime experience that renewed my determination to do what I can to protect the ocean, one step at a time. I hope you will consider joining Only One to support vital ocean projects like our expedition to the Cocos-Galápagos Swimway and help rebuild ocean life for future generations.
