The Official CORAL Magazine Wall Calendar
DENISE NIELSEN TACKETT & LARRY P. TACKETT
Reef Life 2020, a calendar for marine aquarists and coral reef enthusiasts from the publishers of CORAL Magazine. Back Cover: click to enlarge.
Dazzling in its profusion of colors and fascinating life forms, the coral reef displays some of the richest assemblages of biodiversity on Earth and captivates underwater naturalists, divers, snorkelers, and marine aquarists alike. Images in this collection include glorious reef scenes from the Indo-Pacific; brilliant reef fishes; and portraits of corals and other fascinating reef animals.
Larry P. Tackett and Denise Nielsen Tackett worked as a unique underwater research team for more than 20 years until her untimely passing in 2015. They dived together around the tropical world, photographing and observing marine life and collecting coral reef sponges for medical research. Larry and Denise are the authors of Reef Life, Natural History and Behaviors of Marine Fishes and Invertebrates, and The Essential Underwater Photography Manual. Denise’s captivating images, many examples of which grace this calendar, continue to live on and inspire underwater naturalists everywhere.
