Coral Image Bank Created To Celebrate International Year Of Reef 2018

April 16, 2018 - The Tiffany & CO Foundation, and IYOR

IYOR 2018 Image Bank

We recently discovered the 2018 International Year Of The Year (IYOR) Image Bank. The gallery is overflowing with high-quality FREE images for anyone wanting to support the global missing to save coral reefs, and you know ReefBuilders is ready to dive in!

Many of the images come from a unique 360-degree library collected by The Ocean Agency during the XL Catlin Seaview Survey, some even include google street view. Other images were donated by award-winning photographers, as well as Marine Photobank, a project of SeaWeb.

The images are separated by categories coral reefs, animals, people, corals up close and more. The image bank is funded by The Tiffany & CO Foundation, and IYOR all to promote saving coral reefs. 

The IYOR is a year to strengthen awareness about the value and threats to coral reefs and associated ecosystems. As an aquarist, one way you can help is by talking to people about coral reefs and sharing information.

We meet people all the time who don’t even know what a coral is. Just by sharing these images with your friends and family it can help raise awareness about the impacts of climate change on corals, and how we can all promote better use of our planet and coral reef ecosystems.

The media is free to use for all non-commercial purposes to help generate support and investment for coral reef conservation. Make sure to visit the image bank website to download the high-resolution versions of these images, and more.

All they ask is that if you use an image, please credit those who created it and, where possible. You can also make a donation to help us the mission to save reefs and support the people who depend on them. Learn more about the IYOR 2018.
