Project Description
The author of “The Atlas of Endangered Islands” (due out Earth Day, 2022) approached me to create a set of plates that would highlight the different ecologies of islands (and next to islands) and their role in mitigating climate change and sea level rise impacts. Coral reefs were high on the list and we chose to show what happens with and without coral reefs, along with a closer glimpse at animals and corals that may reside in one of the environments she is highlighting in that chapter.
