In 2016, The Ocean Agency photographed one of the most spectacular and rarest sights in nature while filming the Emmy Award-winning documentary "Chasing Coral" . A coral reef in New Caledonia was “glowing” in incredibly vivid colors. Corals produce brightly colored chemicals as a kind of sunscreen against fatally high water temperatures and sun exposure. This glowing phenomenon, called coral fluorescence, is a final line of defense before the coral dies and bleaches to white. It’s been described as “,a most beautiful death.”
