National Geographic: Hooked Shark


Photo Credit: Terry Goss

A rusted hook protrudes from a blue shark's lower jaw off the coast of Rhode Island in the grand prize shot of Marine Photobank's 2011 Ocean in Focus Conservation Photo Contest.

Marine Photobank's mission is to advance ocean conservation by providing free, high-quality marine pictures to media and noncommercial outlets. For this photo contest, Marine Photobank was looking for powerful images that "illuminate the many threats facing our ocean." (The National Geographic Society, which owns National Geographic News, donated prizes for the contest winners.)
