꿈을 꾸곤 했습니다.
full of color and life,
야생의 세계였고
fantastical creatures.
환상적인 생명체들의 고향이였습니다.
ruling the food chain
큰 상어를 사진찍고
dancing across coral reefs.
가로질러 춤추는 것을 보았습니다.
looking for places
to dream about when I was little.
환상적인 곳을 찾으러 다녔죠.
at a fairly young age.
물의 세계를 경험했습니다
I truly went underwater,
furiously finning
낡고, 딱딱한 대포에
cannon on a shallow coral reef.
생생히 기억합니다.
to grab hold of it,
surrounded by fish
형형색색 무지개 빛깔의 물고기들에게
I fell in love with the ocean.
from really, really big sharks
손바닥에 들어맞는
in the palm of your hand.
생물체들을 촬영했습니다.
of humpback whales
열대우림 앞의 차가운 바다에서
Great Bear Rainforest.
입김을 냄새맡았습니다.
of green sea turtles
and is affected by the ocean.
영향을 끼치며, 영향을 받습니다.
I used to dream of as a child
자연 그대로의 바다는
many of these ripple effects firsthand.
사진으로 남겼습니다.
I had to shock my audience
관객이 무관심에서 깨어나도록
with disturbing images.
보여줘야 한다고 생각했죠.
for me to effect change
the ocean's surface.
and become a champion for it
옹호할 수 없습니다.
of conservation photography.
환경보호 사진술의 힘입니다.
that kind of high
travel northwards
we call the Sardine Run.
have good reason to run.
타당한 이유가 있죠.
of hungry and agile predators.
포식자의 무리들에 쫒기고 있습니다.
of the sardines from the main shoal
주된 무리에서 분리시켜
against the ocean surface
are these mortal enemies,
원수라고 생각하지만
they actually coexist.
help sharks feed more effectively.
포식할 수 있도록 도와줍니다.
are more dispersed
더욱 흩어지게 되며
with what I call a sardine donut,
부르는 것으로 배를 채우게 됩니다.
with sharks on the sardine run,
위험한 순간이 몇 번 있었지만
just like any other guest
저는 그 어느 하객들처럼
광대한 인도양을 건너
that is the Indian Ocean
산호초섬으로 이루어진
of coral islands.
남서지방의 우기동안
in Baa Atoll called Hanifaru.
작은 곳으로 이동합니다.
of your pupils,
become patchy,
backwards again and again,
chasing its own tail.
to form these long feeding chains,
긴 먹이사슬을 이룹니다.
the first or second manta in line
쥐가오리를 벗어난 먹잇감은
by the next or the one after.
먹히게 될 것이 뻔합니다.
소용돌이 먹이라고 부르는
we call cyclone feeding.
가까이 수영합니다.
and delivering the plankton
amongst such masses of hundreds of rays
수영하는 이 경험은
like the Manta Trust,
도움을 주었습니다.
from their skins.
conservation champions
환경보호 운동가들입니다.
쥐가오리로부터 얻은 소득이
every single year.
to travel back in time
쓰여있었던 시대로
is visiting remote atolls
가까운 경험을 한 곳은 인도양 서부의
and fishing fleets,
is a poignant reminder
한때 어떻게 생겼는지를
of Bassas da India,
인디아에 대해 들어봤습니다.
in the Mozambique Channel.
작은 산호초 섬이죠.
even during the day.
결코 부끄럼을 타지 않습니다.
that they'd be even bolder
분 적이 없습니다.
상기시켜 줍니다.
for National Geographic Magazine
잡지의 과제로
on the Pacific side
출산 장소 입니다.
of a wholesale slaughter,
대랑학살 장소였습니다.
gray whales were killed,
귀신고래들이 죽었고
a remarkable comeback.
복귀를 했습니다.
of the peninsula lies Cabo Pulmo,
had brought them close to collapse.
붕괴지경까지 이끌었죠.
convinced the authorities
당국자들을 설득시켜
지정했습니다.
was nothing short of miraculous.
기적에 가까웠습니다.
a single decade of protection,
recovery of fish ever recorded.
물고기들의 회복을 목격했습니다.
for it -- come with me.
저와 함께 가시죠.
물고기떼 중 가장 거대하고
and densest schools of fish
to be creators of hope.
될 수 있습니다.
that it is not too late for our oceans.
있다는 교훈을 전하고 싶습니다.
on nature's resilience
서로 존경하며 공존하는 것을
an everyday occurrence for me.
일상이 되겠지요.
that will effect change
