The Ocean Photography Awards™ are a celebration of our beautiful blue planet, as well as a platform to highlight the many plights it is facing.

This year’s winner of the Ocean Photography Awards is Canadian photographer Nadia Aly who took the photo of the school of mobula rays you see above (give the image a click to see it in all its glory)

The Ocean Photography Awards is a celebration of the watery world beneath the waves and has six categories: Ocean Conservation Photographer; Ocean Exploration Photographer; Ocean Adventure Photographer; Young Ocean Photographer; Community Choice Award; and Collective Portfolio Awards.

The awards also include an overall winning image, which is the award that Aly’s photo of the mobula rays won.
