UNDER CAPE COD WATERS

In Under Cape Cod Waters, award-­winning photojournalist Ethan Daniels captures the mystery and importance of the often overlooked natural com-­munities along the Cape Cod coast. The Cape’s near-­shore waters are both diverse and productive, making these coastal ecosystems as dynamic and prodigious as any along the Atlantic shoreline.

With the trained eye of a scientist and the sensibilities of an artist, Daniels photographs the resilient life forms that play such a vital role in maintaining the health and wellbeing of this cherished peninsula.

The result is a stunning portrait of a world often only seen from the surface. In the hazy, dark waters, Daniels reveals the vivid rhythms in detail: the ar-­

-­systems—the salt marsh, the bay, the open ocean, and freshwater ponds—Daniels at once enlightens and educates us about the treasures hidden amidst this mesmerizing seascape.
