Oceanographic, Issue 21

In Issue 21, discover the vibrancy of ocean life in Alaska.

Hear from Finisterre ambassador Dr Easkey Britton on the power the ocean has to reconnect us to our bodies and to our sense of self and Surfers Against Sewage CEO Hugo Tagholm discussing the 'second wave' of sewage and agricultural pollution that is currently blighting the UK's rivers and coastlines.

Discover one of nature's great spectacles and the largest event of its kind where thousands of giant cuttlefish aggregate in Australia's Spencer Gulf to mate. Also uncover how for hundreds of humpback whales in the Gulf of Maine – along with up to 70 other species – life depends on one tiny fish: the sand lance.

In Behind The Lens, take a look at a selection of winning images from this year's Ocean Photography Awards, including the competition's overall winner: The Ocean Photographer of the Year.

As part of Oceanographic Magazine's '20% for ocean conservation promise', £2 from every magazine sold in Finisterre stores will be donated to the charity of our choice, Surfers Against Sewage.
