Exploration into Nudibranchs Illustration as Part of The Efforts to Introduce the Wealth of Marine Biodiversity

Abstract

Nudibranchs have turned into highly popular marine creatures in the scuba diving world. With the aim to protect and conserve the environment, the illustration method is used as the medium because, as a visual artifact, it has quite reliable, and its broad visual communication capabilities allow for different expressions. The result is, by establishing Nudibranchs as cultural objects, the popularity of Nudibranchs can reach the wider society to greatly impact the marine conservation efforts.
