Naoko Funakoshi

■ I initiated this photo book project to give children in developing countries an opportunity to see the beautiful ocean and its wonderful creatures.
■ My goal is to collect photos of beautiful underwater creatures from 100 divers from all over the world, both professional & amateur underwater photographers, for this project.

■ My idea is to list those photos from A to Z according to the creatures’ common names, and provide some simple educational information on marine preservation (for a few pages) as well.

■ I aim to print at least 1,000 copies or more of the book and donate them to an NPO which delivers books to the children who lack basic educational resources.

■ I want to give those children a chance to see how beautiful the ocean & underwater creatures are, and how important it is to protect them!
