Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation

This project features a compilation of “then” and “now” images, paired together to show locations the way they used to be, and how it they currently are after human impact. Although the evidence presented is anecdotal, each photo pair is accompanied by research that supports the seen change. This photo essay demonstrates what science has told us for some time that human populations have greatly changed our planet, and both we and the natural world are dealing with the consequences. A website called “Earth Altered” was created as the final capstone product.
