Photography

Oceans cover 71 percent of the Earth.

A big photography contest celebrates the ocean and reminds us to protect it.

The best photos from the contest show many kinds of ocean life and the problems it faces.

Some photos show orcas working together and a very small seahorse.

The contest founder says the photos tell important stories about our planet.

The winners will be announced on September 11.

Here are some of the best photos from each group.
