What is your involvement with Defending our Oceans?
Throughout the Azores leg of this expedition I will be supplying the latest information on the seafloor available from the Department of Oceanography at the University of the Azores, and helping to direct the drop-cam and ROV operators to the most relevant locations. I am also collaborating in identifying the species which we discover down there.
What are you looking forward to most in this campaign?
My motivation is to learn as much as I can about the deep-sea ecosystems, and to ensure that they receive adequate protection.
How/why did you get involved with Greenpeace?
I got involved after Greenpeace began to collaborate with the Department of Oceanography at the University of the Azires, where I work.
What personal connection do you have to the ocean (if any?)
My attraction to the mysteries of the oceans started as a child through my frequent trips to (and love of) the seashore, and my wonder while watching sea-related documentaries. My concerns also grew naturally as I came to realize how fragile marine life is, and how activities like bottom trawling are seriously endangering it.
What made you follow your chosen profession?
I've always felt a close connection with the sea, and wanted to be a modern-day explorer of the last great uncharted territories on Earth.
