Second Place Winner of Ocean Conservation Art Competition 2019: Alessandro Grasso
In a remarkable act of marine conservation, Italian diver Alessandro recently rescued an anglerfish from a dense fishing net in the protected marine area of Portofino. The anglerfish, which is a common species found in the region, was in distress, desperately trying to free itself from the net.
Alessandro, equipped with his Canon 5D Mark IV, housed in an Isotta 5DIV Housing, and armed with Dual Sea & Sea YS-D2 Strobes, documented the event with two photographs. He used camera settings of 1/125, F14, ISO 400 to capture the moment.
The dive where Alessandro freed the anglerfish took place at AMP Portofino, Punta Chiappa Camogli, Italy. This location, known for its rich marine life, provided a fitting backdrop for this remarkable rescue.
It's worth noting that Alessandro won a 3-night/4-day dive package for two people at Atmosphere Resort & Spa in Portofino, but there is no specific information available about this event or the anglerfish rescue being associated with that resort or Alessandro.
While diving opportunities in Portofino and typical dive packages are abundant, with Portofino Divers being a popular choice near Santa Margherita Ligure, no public records detail a special winning dive package or anglerfish rescue associated with that dive center or the Portofino area.
Despite the lack of online documentation, Alessandro's act serves as a reminder of the importance of marine conservation and the role of divers in protecting the underwater ecosystem. The anglerfish rescue in Portofino underscores the need for continued efforts to preserve and protect marine life in the Mediterranean waters.
