Image by @jim_abernethy // A Gorgeous Roseate Spoonbill landing in the beautiful Florida Everglades! This gorgeous species was once hunted to near extinction for its plumage for hats. The beautiful creatures of our planet, leave me inspired to do all we can to protect what few creatures we still have left. Since 1970, we have lost over 60% of all wildlife on earth! We all must do more to protect nature! Please follow my nonprofit Instagram page @Wildlifevoiceinc as together we help stop this from continuing! Enjoy but please Protect! @jim_abernethy @sealegacy #TurningTheTide #birds #birdsinflight #birding #rosettespoonbill #everglades #floridanature #epicimages #pinkfeathers #naturephotography #photographyart #artnature #conservation #conservationist #palmbeachnature #palmbeachflorida #saveprotectedanimals #saveplanetearth #protectedspecies #protectnature #Bethechangetheworldneeds (at Peaceful Waters Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5qzO54pcRl/?igshid=1nxh9v77ppjc

Image by @jim_abernethy // Since 1998, this has been my office, 30 miles from the closest land in the Bahamas and 60 miles from Florida...Tiger Beach! The finned friends I've made along the way leave me breathless, speechless and in a constant state of Awe! Sadly the ones I've lost along the way, provide a relentless drive to save the ones we still have! Let's take Florida off the list as the worst state for killing sharks at 1.5 million per year and let's take the US off the list as the 7th worst nation for killing and exporting their fins! Please sign and share the link in my bio! A HUGE THANK YOU to all those who have already signed! I'm eternally grateful!

Image by @jim_abernethy // Queen Triggerfish showing us all once again...Nature is the Best Art! Sadly this beautiful ornamental fish is being eaten all over the world. Our world is in trouble and its our species fault. The largest consumer of fish worldwide is a herbivore...cows, because it is cheaper than feeding them what they are suppose to eat. In 2007 scientists published a report that we would run out of fish to eat around 2048, if we don't change our present consumption habits to sustainable food. Now Agricultural Animal consumption is the leading cause of most of the world's worst problems including global warming! The choices we all make determine the future of our planet! I very proudly choose plant-based lifestyle for my health and the planet! Please consider being the change the world needs in order to survive! @jim_abernethy @wildlifevoiceinc @sealegacy #TurningTheTide #queentriggerfish #fish #savetheplanet #conservation #protectthewild plant-based #bethechangetheworldneeds #startwith1thing #saveocean #palmbeach #beautiful #epicimages #underwaterphotography #photography #ilovefish #veganfornature #loveanimals #worldissues (at The Bahamas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B25VmZuJqz2/?igshid=1gek17h1z6io3

Image by @jim_abernethy // The best night dive in the world...is with Emma the Tiger shark at Tiger Beach! It was not so long ago, when I did the very first night dive with tiger sharks, but now we have done more than a thousand! The very best ones are with Emma, the poster child for shark conservation, the star in countless shark films in many different languages from many different countries! She warms my heart and brightens my soul in ways I can't begin to explain in the nearly 2 decades of knowing her! Join me soon to meet this magnificent creature and her friends for yourself!Let's work hard to save out magnificent sharks and all wildlife! Please help save them by checking out the conservation campaigns at the link in my bio! @jim_abernethy @wildlifevoiceinc @sealegacy #TurningTheTide #ilovesharks #FlFinBan #finfree #savethesharks #sharkexpeditions #epic #bethechangetheworldneeds #oceanprotection #finfree #savesharks #FinBanNow #marineprotectedzones #stopkilling #nightdive #sharks #tigershark #emma #epicimages #epicencounters #gorgeous #ilovesharks #protectwhatyoulove #jimabernethysscubaadventures (at Tiger Beach) https://www.instagram.com/jim_abernethy/p/BylnRoVJEoT/?igshid=hkaqshltp9xr

This beautiful manta is just one of hundreds that gather with the whale shark aggregation in Isla Mujeres, Mexico. These docile social creatures are really engaging to observe in the wild! I'm very grateful to all who have taken huge successful efforts to protect this magnificent creature! @jim_abernethy #ilovemantas #savemantas #conservation #sharksaver #sharkart #mantaray #beautiful #epicencounters #epicimages #naturephotography (at Isla Mujeres, Caribbean Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnlwO6MhcK9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dnpj8lsti2m6

Call to Action! Those of you following me closely probably realize i'm working extremely hard on Florida's Red Tide issues that are killing birds, reptiles, mammals and tons of fish! With a small team we have discovered a way to slow down the nutrients that are fueling this terrible environmental disaster so please share and sign the petition in my bio! I've seen at least 6 species of sharks dead from this so far! Great White Shark up close! So sad how this magnificent creature is only at a fraction of the numbers we once had! If you haven't had the opportunity to see these magnificent beautiful sharks, definitely put it on your Must Do list! @jim_abernethy #epicencounters #greatwhiteshark #ilovesharks #beautiful #whiteshark #whalesharkaggregation #epicimages #beautiful #gorgeous #saveprotectedanimals #savesharks #finbannow #livesharks #finfree #underwater #marineprotectedzones #sharks #saveoceans #lifechanging #epicimages #sharktrip #underwaterphotography #inspirational #gorgeous (at Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures & Marine Life Art Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnGjGzqhiw4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=160li4u127jhd

Gorgeous Hawksbill Turtle with its own escort of fish following it to the surface in Palm Beach County, Florida! One of my favorite turtle images that I picked as the cover of one of our conservation books "Sea Turtles Up Close". Brilliantly written by Jen Nolan, using my images, this book has won 4 awards so far! It is available at my web site in my bio as well as Amazon. If you like my photography you will love all of our books! Education is the key to conservation! As Jacque Cousteau said, "We only protect what we love!" I love Sea Turtles! Hawksbill turtles are listed as endangered worldwide! We must do more to protect our wildlife! Save the turtles! We're at the beginning of peak turtle nesting season right now, join me daily at sea to see these beautiful creatures as well as many others in the beautiful clear waters of Palm Beach, Florida! @jim_abernethy #bethechangetheworldneeds #seaturtle #startwithonething #bethevoice #saveturtles #epicimagery #epicencounters #nature #beautiful #conservation #love #loggerheadmarinelifecenter #gumbolimbo #beautiful #epicimages #protectendangeredanimals #passion
