I am passionate about ocean literacy and promoting the engagement and understanding of the ocean with the wider community. I am keen to develop collaborations and help increase our understanding of the ocean, help people develop their ability to communicate about the ocean, as well has ensure people are able to make responsible decisions regarding the ocean and its resources.
