Dive Into Perfect Sea
Amos’ photographs are a breathtaking record of life under the sea: the wonderful creatures that inhabit it, the textures and colors, and the influence of humans.
The works are printed on various materials: tempered glass, canvas, aluminum, Perspex and rocks – And are presented in exhibitions and galleries, integrated in interior and exterior design, and in underwater instalment (made of natural rocks) that helps preserve and restore the marine and coastal environment.

Art from the Sea Amos Gazit - Perfect Sea
Israeli artist Amos Gazit’s underwater photography and artworks is an organic extension of his years-long rehabilitation from three serious war wounds which left him physically, psychologically, and morally shattered – The sea was the context of Amos’ rejuvenation.
Led by his imagination, moral values and creativity, Amos has documented over the years the sights, colours, movement and sensations of the sea and its natural ability, and almost precisely, to undergo a process of self-healing of overcoming and regenerating from severe injuries, as Amos experienced.
Printed on canvas, tempered glass, aluminium, and rocks – His works are presented in exhibitions, galleries, applied in interior and exterior design (murals, furniture, gardens, and pools) and are integrated in an underwater instalment (built of natural rocks) that helps preserve and restore the marine and coastal environment.
Perfect Sea Association
Collaborate in the conduct of research and applied projects that explore key basic principles, theories, and concepts that undergird the notion of sustainable development;
Juxtapose and critically investigate the intersections between natural scientific and social scientific approaches to understanding and pursuing sustainable development;
Understand sustainability issues, prospects, and solutions on their own terms, often using islands as lens to understand sustainability for other environmental and economic contexts;
Rethink traditional cultural and often romantic notions and understandings of islands, island society, and island peoples, and challenge the common view that island sustainable development demands the altruism of non-island societies and states.
Jack Evans Boat Harbour Habitat Enhancement Project
This project is an Envirotech student led project focused on habitat enhancement and oyster reef restoration in the Tweed River, New South Wales. The river has experienced habitat dedredgation as well as impacts from recent flooding over recent years. The project aims to install student-made artificial reef structures as well as oyster baskets to help restore biodiversity in the Tweed River.
Reef Check Australia
Envirotech students have been working with Reef Check Australia on beach clean-ups as well as their reef surveys and some have been training to become Reef Check Ambassadors and Surveyors. Reef Check is citizen science organisation monitors and collects data on reef health around Australia as well as running awareness raising programs about Reef Conservation.
Stories of a Dissapearing Sea - Amos Gazit
The SEED Consortium is a group of conservation and development experts and researchers who collaborate in scholarship and policy advising around the topics of environmental sustainability, economic and social development, marine ecosystem health, land use planning and policy and infrastructure development.
Each member of the consortium pursues his own research agenda and projects, collaborating with other members depending on the scale of particular projects or the need for varied expertise.
“…in the end, sustainable development and the integrated nature of the global environment is not a fixed state of harmony, but rather a process of change in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development, and institutional change are made consistent with future as well as present needs. Thus, in the final analysis, sustainable development must rest on political will.”
