POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Some of my recent work with @whoi.ocean and the @reefsolutions.whoi team is featured in the latest issue of Oceanus Magazine.

You can read the article and explore the full digital edition through the link in my bio.

Working with the Reef Solutions team is always a highlight for me. Being surrounded by people who have dedicated their lives to protecting one of the planet’s most beautiful and most fragile ecosystems is incredibly inspiring. I think you’ll find this issue just as fascinating as I did.

This week I joined the @unoceandecade conference in Barcelona with @sealegacy. Focused on ‘delivering the #science we need for the ocean we want’, it brought together the global Ocean Decade community and partners to celebrate and take stock of progress, and set joint priorities for the future.

It is weird to join so many conferences back to back. It’s a bit numbing. You start to pick up patterns, a lot of similarities and repetitions in speeches, a lot of big ambitions, of “commitments”, but you know the reality of things and how little we take care of the ocean. 

So you wonder why, why do we meet? Why do we have all of those conferences?

Because WE TRY. We try to do good, we try to juggle with human egos, we try to slalom through the lobbyists, the bureaucracy, the blue washing. We try to change this crazy humanity in which people do not even take care of the Ocean that gives them the very own air they breathe. I am not even talking about all the beautiful creatures, the carbon sink, and the fact that the ocean regulates our climate. It’s the air we breathe, and we are destroying it.

We try because we have HOPE. Sometimes I wonder why to be fully transparent, and I doubt, and it is good to see other people with the same questions and doubts, but still with this little fire in their hearts. They all try, they are passionate and so intelligent, they give me #hope!

Once again, the positive energy came from the people, thank you everybody.
