#EarthDay with Richard Fitzpatrick (biopixeloceans) Growing up on the Great Barrier Reef, Richard Fitzpatrick has spent his life at the intersection of science and storytelling, documenting the reef’s natural history, mounting threats, and paths to restoration in extraordinary detail. Over a decade ago, he co-founded Biopixel Oceans Foundation with a belief that powerful imagery and cutting-edge research could work hand-in-hand to protect our oceans. Today, Richard and the Biopixel team are using RED cameras—from the #DRAGON6K to #HELIUM8K and now the #VRAPTOR—to capture the reef in its rawest, most revealing form. These visuals don’t just inspire—they inform science, support policy, and drive conservation forward.
