Oceanographic Magazine has announced the winners of the Ocean Photography Awards 2020, with Nadia Aly taking home the overall winner prize.
Aly’s photo of an aggregation of mobula rays off the coast of Mexico is what got her the top prize.
Aly was among six photographers who won prizes across seven awards, whittled down from more than 3,000 initial competition submissions.
