Marine Photobank was started by photographer and ocean steward Wolcott Henry when he became alarmed at the lack of accessible conservation-oriented marine photography. Generously he created the Marine Photobank and seeded the collection with his own hard-earned images of the ocean life he witnessed, as well as its perils.

As on-line photography has evolved, Marine Photobank and Wildscreen Exchange have collaborated, and Wildscreen Exchange has acquired a collection of MPB images which can be found in this dedicated gallery.
