During the late 1970s and 1980s New Zealand scientist Ken Grange surveyed the marine ecology of the fiords. He was the first to recognise that underwater Fiordland was a unique habitat, and he has worked to ensure the protection of its marine communities. He is pictured here inspecting a colony of black coral, whose growth rate he monitored in one study. Living black corals are white.
