The beautiful images and words in this exhibition represent the work of marine biologist Gilan Raga, alumnus of the 'Art and the stewardship of the ocean' e-course, developed in collaboration between One Ocean Hub and UNITAR. With his sunny crisp images and his evocative writing, Gilang takes us to coastal Indonesia, offering glimpses of its lagoons and lush mangrove forests, of life of the ocean and with the ocean: from rocks in Pangandaran on which fishers perch waiting for their catch, to fishing boats' daybreak departures from the estuary of Muara Gembong in West Java. The 'Art and the stewardship of the ocean' e-course can be found on the UNCC:Learn platform and is freely available and open to everyone.
