Andreia - Marine Biologist
From: Portugal
How come you're working on Defending our Oceans?
I was invited to participate in the campaign by a colleague since Im currently working on a reference collection of marine organisms from Azores. I am very enthusiastic to be part of the Greenpeace team collaborating in the species identification.
What are you looking forward to most in this campaign?
I am currently interested in the deep-sea cold-water corals. Our knowledge of their distribution and habitat is very limited, mainly due to difficult access to these areas. So I think that the information gathered in this campaign from underwater filming will be very helpful - giving us better knowledge of these ecosystems.
How/why did you get involved with Greenpeace?
DOP are collaborating with Greenpeace in this campaign - providing scientific support. A few scientists from DOP were invited to participate and I was one of them.
What personal connection do you have to the ocean (if any?)
Im a marine biologist and Im actually working at the Fisheries and Oceanography Department from the University of Azores.
What made you follow your chosen profession?
I love the ocean and I would like to understand it and know it the best I can.
Anything else you'd like to say?
I would like to acknowledge the entire crew of the Esperanza, that are very friendly and have received me very well.
