The sea turtle is a symbol of fortune and longevity in Chinese culture. Folk legends refer to hawksbills as one of the four celestial guardian animals.
Ironically, the symbolic importance and cultural respect for the animal has driven demand for sea turtle products, which are highly prized ornaments and ingredients in traditional medicine. As income levels in China have risen these products have become more affordable.
Sea turtles are much loved around the world and part of the cultural setting of coastal communities where they are often seen as symbols of good luck. Sadly they are facing multiple threats from hunting for their meat as well for ornamental products.
Ocean Eye can help transform the traditional hunters of sea turtles to their guardians, as the value of them alive is transferred to coastal communities, far outstripping the price of a dead turtle or an egg.
A unique series of images from the decades-long mission of photojournalist Paul Hilton to document the destruction and beauty of our oceans.
The collection features a dark and light side of each image, one showing the beauty, one the destruction of our oceans.
The collection is sold to fundraise for the marine conservation platform Ocean Eye.
In Paul's own words ‘Ocean Eye is one of the most promising innovations in a long-time that can help bring solutions to critical issues of marine wildlife capture and trade from shark finning to hunting of all marine species.'
