What absolutely stunning pictures - I think the Madeira rockfish is a cute lil fella!

Peace, Irene x

Isn't our world absolutely amazing! There are SO many different forms of life it makes me marvel! It is so sad though that so many people are so keen to destroy it! I'm glad there are organisations out there like Greenpeace defending the wonders of this world!

Just wanted to remember that the pictures are from Azores (the loved islands were I'm from).
Free diving for underwater photography is very accessable. I recomend anyone to come to Azores to visit. Pleasure yourself in great diving and great food and great hospitality :-)

Thank you for the awesome photos of wonderful and unique creatures, and thank you for sharing another leg of your incredible journey with us. If I can't be with you in person, at least I am with you in spirit.
Bon voyage, and good luck in your next endeavours.

Hi Joss and all...,
...and thanks for these great photos. The tri color sea slug is a lot prettier than the ones I have on my lettuce, ...and I was surprised to see the Giant Sunfish photo. I've seen them in Long Island Sound, and off the coast of Connecticut and Rhode Island. You'd think they were a huge shark, except that the fin is always flopping down on one side. Of course they warn people not to eat more than one meal a week of fish caught from Long Island Sound. The mercury and pcb levels are very high. A lot of dumping into the Housatonic River from a General Electric plastics plant in Pittsfield, Massachusetts for many years. Thank goodness they've weighed anchor and are otta there now. The river itself is a complete environmental disaster. I wonder what GE made on the Iraq war this year?
Anyway, ...thank you all, and especially the team from the University of Azores, ...Filipe, Fernando, Andreia and Frederico, ...and Russell from IFAW for a great experience of Love and hope in your efforts to enLighten us, and give us experience of how fragile these ecosystems are, and why they must be protected. Thanks very much Joss, ...I do hope you're staying on here? Love to you all...

The tube worm and risso's dolphins are my favorite pics.

Super.

Os Açorianos receberão sempre de braços abertos quem nos vier ajudar.

Despite its drudgery and hardships, the world is still a beautiful place.
These pictures are a testament to why we do what we do to protect them.

Here in the Philippines we are also fighting for the preservation of our marine heritage. Although we have established several marine reserves, we still have to fight against mining companies and chemical companies as well as illegal methods of fishing.

Sometimes its hard to go on but when I see pictures like these, it gives me new hope for another day.

Thank you so much for these pictures!

p.s. I wouldnt want to come across that man o'war!

sincerely,
mary ann

Always nice to see the blue whales. Beeing a skipper in a whale watching boat i am happy all the time. And i am happy to see a Greenpeace boat in Azorean waters too.

All the best for the crew

we always only wished helplessly could stop this senseless destruction- remain most grateful to the green peace activists in this truly selfless fight against vandals destroying our planet.

Greenpeace is awsome, but to be honest I haven't heard of you untill I seen something about you on a cartoon, you need to get more people involved, and a really good way to do that would be to make a few advertisements. Thanks for helping out, it feels good to know that my kids are going to grow up to live in a clean and healthy world because of you, pce...

These are wonderful images and remind me of the marine programmes once shown on tv when i was small!

greenpeace do a fantastic job and thanks for reminding us about the fragility of the beautiful sea, and of course its huge importance in our lives. keep safe, best wishes, Heather in Edinburgh.

I am a teacher taking a class to Gauteng-on-line, but our servers are so slow we are not able to watch any slide shows or video's during our one hour period. Keep going with the good work and let us know how we as a school can help you.
Best wishes,

The photos are really beautifull, but I have to say, as a portuguese girl that Azores are portuguese territory and not Spanish!

As fotografias estão muito bonitas mas tenho de dizer que os Açores fazem parte de Portugal e não de Espanha!

I am glad that I can see the most beatiful animal like that. I hope that we can save more our animal in the sea.
