INSPIRING REEF CONSERVATION SINCE 2000
For The Sea Productions was created by independent award-winning underwater filmmaker, National Geographic Explorer and ocean motivational speaker Ziggy Livnat, MFA. We offer video and photos that we hope will engage, entertain, and raise awareness of the critical need for conservation of our planet’s largest ecosystem – the oceans.

It's time to see more article headlines that state "The voracious and invasive human beings have been taking over and completely destroying the planet" instead of blaming animals. We've been degrading the marine ecosystem with pollution, overfishing and systematic removal of top predators that probably contributed to the lionfish success.

It's been shown again and again that when we try to "fix" a problem we created, we end up creating ten more.
So what is the solution you ask, let's stop messing it up (if it's even humanly possible).

This beautiful, yet strange looking, Devil Scorpionfish is a resident of the Red Sea. They are a rare find so when I see them, I enjoy spending time and look at them walk with their fork like side fins turned legs.
