Swim School

A school of jacks swim in formation in the waters off Cabo Pulmo, Mexico. "In 1995, the residents petitioned the government to create a marine reserve to protect the area which was being depleted by fishing operations and causing damage to the coral reef, estimated to be 20,000 years old," says Your Shot photographer Samantha Schwann. "Since then, the biomass has seen an increase of nearly 450%, with a return of some species which haven't been seen since the 1980's."
