The winners of the 2025 Mangrove Photography Awards have just been announced and the images are nothing short of breathtaking. From mangroves glowing beneath the Milky Way to powerful portraits of communities affected by environmental loss, this year’s entries highlight both the extraordinary beauty and delicate fragility of these vital ecosystems.
Organized by the Mangrove Action Project, the competition saw a record-breaking 3,303 submissions from 78 countries, all celebrating the ecological importance of mangrove forests around the world.
The title of Mangrove Photographer of the Year went to Mark Ian Cook for his stunning aerial image, Birds’ Eye View of the Hunt – a poignant shot that captures one of the Everglades’ iconic birds, whose fate is deeply tied to the health of its rapidly vanishing habitat.
