At some stage we requested all our Grantees to think of & submit 'Before-&-After' 📷, but stopped doing so as our partners were confused & final results didn't justify time investments. Just to explain why ED @oceanknigge.bsky.social is so excited about @wcs.org photos below. 😉

Visible results in marine conservation are not always easy to show, so here’s a positive example: supporting infrastructure enabling monitoring of the adjacent MPA.
