In February 2014, photographer David Liittschwager and a team of marine biologists from the Smithsonian Institute and U.C. Berkeley’s Gump Station undertook a “One Cubic Foot” project on Tetiaroa. This project attempted to record and photograph all the creatures that live in or move through a one cubic foot cube that was placed on the inner reef of Motu Onetahi where The Brando is located. The team recorded all of these creatures down to a size of about a millimeter. A few are shown in this gallery.
