Ultimately, my video and it’s sole take on my approach to coexistence isn’t enough to inspire large scale change or unite the affected communities to act in favour of our oceans.
The beauty of the CoExist program is that everyone, regardless of their background or videography skills, and despite making no two videos the same, will all submit hundreds of under-a-minute perspectives talking in different languages, yet speaking to the same cause.
Already, we begin to CoExist.
At the time of viewing this, I will just be starting at Monash Univeristy in Advanced Marine Sciences and Arts double degree, and inducted in my first long term volunteer role: Mentone Marine Mammal Turtle tagging. (For reference, I have my OW with PADI and 20 hours)
Thank you to the CoExist cohort, I hope that no matter the outcome for me I can somehow be part of or begin to be part of the incredible work you do.
