Press for 100 for the Ocean

The prints start at $100 in editions of 100 and the money will go toward the nonprofit SeaLeagcy which will help three ocean-based charities: Coral Gardeners, Young Ocean Explorers, and Oceans Initiative.

“What we’re doing is leaning into SeaLegacy’s expertise and credibility and effectiveness in the field of communication,” explains Mittermeier.

“And by producing communication packages for the recipients, all the licensing of the footage, all the production, all the amplification through Paul, Christina, and SeaLegacy channels.”

The sale is a wonderful way to own a piece of fine art photography while also giving back to the planet. This year's beneficiaries of the sale were all selected for the impact and integrity of their work in the ocean, and how their work can be amplified through visual storytelling. This aspect is particularly important because each benefitting organization will also receive special media coverage from SeaLegacy.

“What is so great about100 for the Ocean is that it is accessible to many people who want to help protect our planet but aren’t sure where to start,” says Cristina Mittermeier. “Our goal isn’t just to raise funds for ocean initiatives; it’s to start the conversation between those behind the lens and those at home. We want to share the stories of our planet with you, create that connection, and make a lasting impact for the collective good of our planet.”
