Welcome to our wild wet wonderful water world that should be called Planet Ocean!
The Aqua-sphere is filled with the most amazing creatures that transcend the phyla. No other environment on earth is as bio-diverse, or ecologically numerous as the world's oceans. With vast undescribed and undiscovered species, the liquid forests are an inner sanctum that is the last bastion of wonderment, discovery, and exploration on our shrinking planet.
Enter, to embark on a virtual sea-fari through the splendid seascapes through Troy's awe-inspiring, award-winning images. Wander through nature's liquid playground, be astonished by her magnificence, and be incited to protect her dying oceans.
Let the sea live!
