CORAL BLEACHING 8K STOCK FOOTAGE LIBRARY

Australian underwater cinematographer Tom Park boasts an extensive collection of underwater and ocean-based footage, documenting the vibrant yet increasingly fragile marine ecosystems of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and East Australian Coast. This carefully curated gallery offers powerful, high-definition 8K stock footage that vividly captures the devastating effects of coral bleaching, an urgent environmental crisis caused by rising ocean temperatures on The Great Barrier Reef. These striking visuals highlight the stark transformation of coral reefs from thriving ecosystems to bleached, lifeless structures, underscoring the critical need for conservation efforts.

With years of experience filming these iconic yet threatened environments, Tom has provided breathtaking footage for industry leaders like Silverback Films, Netflix, David Attenborough, Channel 9, PBS, Tourism Australia, Tourism Queensland, and the Smithsonian.

This stock footage collection has been captured with the latest professional cinema cameras, including the 8K RED V-RAPTOR.
