Every winter since 1996, REEF co-founder and renowned underwater photographer, Paul Humann, selected one of his own marine life photographs to give to our most generous supporters. Paul (1937-2024) is no longer with us, but his consequential legacy as REEF’s co-founder and a pioneering underwater explorer carries on through his marine life images, REEF’s programs, and the many lives he impacted. Beginning in 2024, Ned and Anna DeLoach select the annual print from Paul's catalog.
Members who contribute $250 or more during REEF’s winter fundraising campaign receive that year’s signed and numbered limited-edition print. Below is look back at the gallery of the winter limited-edition images from Paul.
