Richard - Oceans Campaigner & Project Co-ordinator

From: UK

What are you looking forward to most in this campaign?
The doing after the planning. I became an environmental activist through my love of natural history and I'm excited by the prospect of seeing lots of different forms of marine life and not knowing exactly what we will see. The deep sea is particularly fascinating and there are bound to be surprises. Joining forces with some expert marine biologists courtesy of IFAW and the University of Azores also makes this leg extra special.

How/why did you get involved with Greenpeace?

When I was a teenager I saw footage of the whaling action where a Russian whaler fires a harpoon over the activists in a tiny Zodiac and thought I'm with that lot. Quite a few years later I found I was.

What made you follow your chosen profession?
You mean I could be doing something else???

Anything else you'd like to say?
Could we have a global network of marine reserves please?
