As mentioned in the video, Im a Kiwi from New Zealand who currently lives in London. I grew up round the sea, fishing, exploring and diving. I have lived in Africa, South east Asia and Australia where I have dived and I hold my advanced PADI diver licence. I did one year of Marine biology at university but switched career paths (which I always have regretted!). I have volunteered at the united nations (working on the ‘life below water’ initiative by raising awareness through the UN NSW young professionals association) and various charities, currently I volunteer for the marine conservation society in the UK (you can see a clip of me talking about the deposit return scheme to reduce plastic waste at the end of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYnR_0iXEjQ).
I really worry for the future of our seas and overfishing is my biggest issue, having boycotted the industry personally for over a decade now. I really want to do more, just figuring out how is the big part! This is the first time I have put together an edited video, all the shots I took myself in NZ, dviing around the world or in London, I hope you enjoy it and my message resonates with you.
