#OurOcean Photographers Take Over the White House Instagram

In the wake of Obama designating the first Marine National Monument, a 12,725 square kilometer section of the Pacific, the presidential Instagram handed over the reigns to a group of photographs with links to the ocean and marine conservation.
Four images were posted, one by Paul Nicklen, one by Bo Bridges, one by Michael Muller and one by Chris Burkard. Alongside each image, the photographers in question wrote a little bit about their work and their perspective on the ocean. Muller, for instance, talks about his decision to step away from glamour shots of celebrities to photograph sea life, paying particular attention to sharks.
The common thread linking all four images is, as you might expect, conservation, with several references to Our Ocean, a series of conferences which have been running since 2014, spearheaded by US Secretary of State John Kerry. The 2016 conference will likely draw up a new list of commitments to carry on the momentum set in place by Obama's monumental designation.
As Paul Nicklen mentions in his post on the feed, Obama has protected more marine territory than any president in US history, and that will likely end up being one of his most significant legacies.
