Skills and Experience
The aforementioned fascination stems particularly from a childhood experience when I was about 10 years old, snorkeling on vacation and seeing a whitetip reef shark circling just a meter below me. I had the opportunity to dive down and snorkel eye-to-eye with it. This unforgettable experience has made diving and snorkeling with sharks continually fascinating. Additionally, highlights such as spotting a whale shark and diving with tiger sharks have been indescribable.
Why I advocate for shark conservation
The oceans are less explored than the lunar landscape, which says everything about the necessity of protecting this fragile and largely unknown habitat. Sharks have fascinated me since childhood, and I am delighted to have found a wonderful project with SHARKPROJECT, as I always said sharks unfortunately have no lobby, and SHARKPROJECT can embody that.
My favorite quote
How wonderful it is that no one needs to wait a single minute before starting to change the world.
