In the crystal-clear waters of Cabo Pulmo, Mexico, a massive school of jacks moves in perfect harmony, creating a breathtaking silver vortex that seems to come alive with every shift of light. This vibrant marine reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most successful marine conservation stories in the world, home to an incredible diversity of life. As the jacks swirl and merge, their synchronized movements evoke both power and grace, embodying the richness and vitality of a healthy ocean ecosystem.
