My video shares a little bit about why I am inspired to coexist with our oceans, and even though I could drone on and on about it, I managed to keep it to a short two minutes. So many more things inspire me than this little clip can convey, and I get misty-eyed even thinking about how beautiful our blue planet is. Just this morning I was on an excursion with my university colleagues to Bloubergstrand looking at different algal species on the shores. After the field trip was over, we stayed on and looked for more ocean treasures like blue sea anemones and octopuses (no luck there). People who share my excitement inspire me to continue learning about our oceans. As I’ll talk a bit about in the video, coexisting with and appreciating our oceans is something a lot of us have lost. Before we can conserve it, we have to re-learn how to coexist and connect with it.
