Description

The moment a tiger shark glides peacefully over the rippled white sand through a school of fish. She is not hunting them, she is not frenzied, she is simply coexisting in her kingdom. For this reason, she is titled "Amity", after the name of the town in JAWS which means "friendship". Image taken at Tiger Beach, Bahamas. Bahamas is an incredible example as a sanctuary recognizing the benefit of valuing live sharks through immersive shark-human tourism rather than harvesting sharks. 15% of profits for this image will be donated to Bimini Shark Lab's scholarship program, who's mission is to educate future scientists at undergraduate and graduate levels; to advance the field of marine science/conservation biology; and to raise public perception and awareness for the protection of sharks in the Bahamas (and worldwide).
