Getting naked with fish might not sound like the sort of stuff that helps save oceans — but one organization is doing just that.
Helena Bonham Carter created some buzz when she first appeared in a set of nude photos in February. In the snapshots, she was caressing a large tuna. Since then, more photos have been released, with esteemed subjects such as Judy Dench and Julie Christie — all cuddling different kinds of sustainably-caught sea life.

The shots are the brainchild of a charity called "Fishlove." Founded in 2009 by restaurant owner Nicholas Röhl and actress Greta Scacchi, the organization endeavors to raise awareness about the repercussions of over-fishing and the importance of ethically sourcing seafood. Over the years, different celebrities and photographers have donated their time to the nude fish poses, with some fairly interesting results.
The photo series can be purchased as posters on Fishlove's website, with donations going towards the awareness campaign.
Maaaaaybe don't wear your seafood, though. Just a thought.
