I am an Ocean Defender to learn, to find out how I can do my part. I love the earth, I love the place that I live in. The main reason why I became an ocean defender are my kids. I have two daughters and I would like them to enjoy some day the things I am enjoying now. I want to learn scuba diving with them and see what is there to see. When there is nothing left there would be no reason to learn scuba diving.

I recently had an encounter with whale sharks and it was magical. I felt blessed when I saw them, the way they were quietly interacting with you. They would just leave you alone as long as you let them be as well. It is the way they move, just going on on their own, huge animals, but harmless. That was a turning point for me. I am now part of Greenpeace, because together with other people much more can be reached. That's why I want to call for other people: Become an ocean defender!
