Dr Fabrice Jaine is a French marine biologist and award-winning underwater photographer with extensive experience leading dive expeditions and wildlife swimming tours in some of the world’s most bio-diverse seas on the planet. His work has led him to conduct frontline international conservation science and seen his images featured in media outlets such as Australian Geographic, Ocean Geographic and BBC Wildlife Magazine.

Currently a research scientist at the Sydney Institute of Marine Science, Fabrice has dedicated the past 10 years of his life to researching the charismatic manta ray in various ‘hotspots’ around the globe. His pioneering PhD research on the migratory ecology and conservation of manta rays as part of Australia’s ‘Project Manta’ was featured in National Geographic’s ‘Manta Mystery’ documentary in 2011. Fabrice subsequently specialised in tracking movements of marine animals to inform their management and protection. In 2016 Fabrice worked as a consultant for the BBC Natural History Unit to attach high-resolution video cameras on various marine species during the filming of the BBC Blue Planet II series. His most recent research work involved collaborations with various international research groups from NOAA, Scripps Institute of Oceanography, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, the Manta Trust, the Marine Megafauna Foundation, and other flagship institutions.

A passionate traveller and keen diver, Fabrice uses his photography to report on the beauty and fragility of the ocean and its inhabitants. A former member of the Australian Institute of Professional Photography, his moody photography reminisces intimate encounters with ocean giants and fine art interpretations of the marine realm as seen through his eyes. His images have received multiple professional awards, both nationally and internationally, including an Honourable Mention at the 2017 International Monochrome Awards, and winning the Grand Prize at the 2014 IUCN World Parks Congress Photography Competition.
Fabrice will be available during the trip to share some of his knowledge of the marine environment and provide expert photography advice for guests willing to advance their underwater photography.
