Sean these are powerful images that helps Tuvalu to tell the world their stories of how climate change impacts their lives and the small islands they live on. It would be great if you could also include images of the massive coral 🪸 bleaching that is going on beneath the waves😊.Fakafetai lasi

Thank you, Semese. I did see some of the coral bleaching firsthand, but I am not an underwater photographer, so didn't really capture it. This is the closest I came.... gallagher-photo.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Tuvalu-Beneath-The-Rising-Tide-2019/G0000DfWPXUxADOc/I0000n9D72mRXS1Q
