100 For the Ocean was co-founded by photographers Paul Nicklen, Cristina Mittermeier and Chase Teron. The project is a collaboration between 100 renowned photographers to raise money for ocean conservation. This photo by Nicklen shows an emperor penguin propelling itself out of Antarctica's icy waters. "To have communities come together like this, all for the purpose of good, to amplify and help grow other organizations, is a really beautiful thing," said Nicklen in a press release.

The sale runs for one month with prices starting from $100. Net proceeds go to SeaLegacy Canada Foundation, which will use the money partly to support other ocean-focussed organizations. Chase Teron captured this photograph of a polar bear in Svalbard facing a life without multi-year pack ice. "By protecting the ocean, we preserve the rich biodiversity that makes our planet unique and ensures its continued health and balance," said Teron.

The ocean is vital to the health of the planet. Not only does it act as a carbon sink by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, but it is also responsible for producing <a href="index.php?page=&url=https%3A%2F%2Foceanservice.noaa.gov%2Ffacts%2Focean-oxygen.html" target="_blank" target="_blank">nearly 50% of the Earth's oxygen</a>. Aimee Jan took this photograph of a turtle resting among glass fish.
