WATERS

ETHAN DANIELS

I+ UNDER CAPE COD WATERS, .*.'/-*#++#+, photojournalist Ethan Daniels cap-tures the mystery and importance of the often overlooked natural communities along the Cape Cod coast. 3e Cape’s near-shore waters are both diverse and pro-ductive, making these coastal ecosystems as dynamic and prodigious as any along the Atlantic shoreline.

With the trained eye of a scientist and the sensibilities of an artist, Daniels photo-graphs the resilient life forms that play such a vital role in maintaining the health and wellbeing of this cherished peninsula.

3e result is a stunning portrait of a world often only seen from the surface. In the hazy, dark waters, Daniels reveals the vivid rhythms in detail: the arresting orange of a sponge, the silvery 2ash of 0sh scales, the bright blue of a crab claw. With chapters devoted to each of the Cape’s aquatic ecosystems—the salt marsh, the bay, the open ocean, and freshwater ponds—Daniels at once enlightens and educates us about the treasures hidden amidst this mesmerizing seascape.

is an award-winning photo-journalist. His photography and journalism have appeared in Scuba Diver Australasia, Cape Cod Life, Underwater Photography Magazine, and Sport Diving Magazine, among other publications. He lives in Berkeley, CA with his family.
