As a kid, I used to dream about the ocean.

譯者: Regina Chu 審譯者: Marssi Draw

It was this wild place full of color and life,

小時候我常常幻想大海的樣子。

home to these alien-looking, fantastical creatures.

想像中那是充滿 各種顏色及生物的狂野之處，

I pictured big sharks ruling the food chain

and saw graceful sea turtles dancing across coral reefs.

我想像鯊魚統治著海底的食物鏈，

As a marine biologist turned photographer,

還有海龜在珊瑚礁間優雅地跳舞。

I've spent most of my career looking for places

我從海洋生物學家變成攝影師，

as magical as those I used to dream about when I was little.

都在尋找小時候夢想的魔幻之處。

I began exploring bodies of water at a fairly young age.

But the first time I truly went underwater,

我很小的時候 就開始探索各式水體。

And I can still vividly remember furiously finning

to reach this old, encrusted cannon on a shallow coral reef.

我還記憶猶新， 當時用力的踢水下潛，

And when I finally managed to grab hold of it,

去觸碰在淺珊瑚礁裡 陳舊且生鏽的大砲。

I looked up, and I was instantly surrounded by fish

That was the day I fell in love with the ocean.

被五顏六色 像彩虹一樣的魚群包圍。

I've photographed everything from really, really big sharks

和救救我們的海洋基金會攝影。

to dainty ones that fit in the palm of your hand.

我拍攝過很多東西， 從很大很大的大鯊魚

I've smelled the fishy, fishy breath of humpback whales

in the cold seas off Canada's Great Bear Rainforest.

And I've been privy to the mating rituals of green sea turtles

在加拿大大熊雨林沿岸的 冰冷海水裡。

Everyone on this planet affects and is affected by the ocean.

And the pristine seas I used to dream of as a child

As we humans continue to maintain our role

I've witnessed and photographed many of these ripple effects firsthand.

世界上主要捕食者角色的同時，

For a long time, I thought I had to shock my audience

我早已目睹並拍攝 人類造成的連鎖反應。

out of their indifference with disturbing images.

有很長一段時間，我認為 我一定要震撼我的觀眾，

用令人不安的圖像 驅走他們的冷漠。

I believe that the best way for me to effect change

我相信要造成改變最好的賣點，

that lie hidden beneath the ocean's surface.

揭示躲在海平面下的 動物和整個生態系統。

You can't love something and become a champion for it

你不可能為你不愛的事物而戰，

Uncovering this -- that is the power of conservation photography.

揭開它！這就是保育攝影的力量。

I've visited hundreds of marine locations,

The first time I experienced that kind of high

enormous shoals of sardines travel northwards

in a mass migration we call the Sardine Run.

我們稱這種大規模的遷移 為「沙丁魚大遷徙」。

And boy, do those fish have good reason to run.

In hot pursuit are hoards of hungry and agile predators.

因為又餓又快的掠食者 在後面緊追不捨！

and they can separate some of the sardines from the main shoal

牠們從主魚群中趕出一些沙丁魚，

They drive and trap the fish upward against the ocean surface

牠們朝海面驅趕並困住沙丁魚，

that sharks and dolphins are these mortal enemies,

鯊魚和海豚是不共戴天的敵人，

but during the Sardine Run, they actually coexist.

但在沙丁魚遷徙期間， 其實牠們能共存。

In fact, dolphins actually help sharks feed more effectively.

事實上，海豚其實 能幫助鯊魚更有效捕食。

Without dolphins, the bait balls are more dispersed

如果沒有海豚幫助， 餌球會比較不集中，

and sharks often end up with what I call a sardine donut,

鯊魚最終會鑽到 我戲稱為沙丁魚甜甜圈，

Now, while I've had a few spicy moments with sharks on the sardine run,

儘管我在沙丁魚大遷徙期間 與鯊魚有些火爆場面，

However, I get bumped and tail-slapped just like any other guest

然而，我還是被撞、被尾巴掃過，

就像這場喧鬧宴會上的 其他客人一樣。

From the shores of Africa we travel east,

across the vastness that is the Indian Ocean

to the Maldives, an archipelago of coral islands.

到達馬爾地夫 這片由珊瑚礁形成的群島。

manta rays from all across the archipelago

travel to a tiny speck in Baa Atoll called Hanifaru.

會游到芭環礁一個 小小的地方叫哈尼法魯。

most no bigger than the size of your pupils,

are the mainstay of the manta ray's diet.

When plankton concentrations become patchy,

浮游生物集中成一片片的時候，

and they somersault themselves backwards again and again,

very much like a puppy chasing its own tail.

就像小狗追著自己的尾巴一樣。

However, when plankton densities increase,

然而，浮游生物的密度增加時，

the mantas line up head-to-tail to form these long feeding chains,

蝠魟就頭尾相接 形成這條長長的進食鏈，
