Contest open through Sept. 5
North Carolina is home to some of the most diverse marine environments on the Atlantic Coast. From the elegant red drum tailing in the shallow marshes to the giant sand tiger sharks dwelling on the deep ship wrecks, North Carolina’s marine ecosystems are truly amazing. However, as beautiful as they may be, they are equally fragile.
The Photos for the Ocean contest for marine conservation is an effort designed to use the art of photography to support our coastal environment here in North Carolina. By entering a photo into this contest, you are helping preserve the great recreational benefits our coast provides us, from surfing to fishing to scuba diving.
All proceeds from the entry fees are donated to the Coastal Conservation Association of North Carolina, the leader of marine conservation non-profits in NC.

If you do not wish to submit a photo, but still want to support this project and marine conservation, you can donate to the CCA on behalf of Photos for the Ocean here.
