I work at the interface of marine research and documentary storytelling. For many years I have been providing the scientific foundation for the ‘Sea Change Project’, our most successful story being the Academy Award winning “My Octopus Teacher”. As trained taxonomist I have a broad interest and skills in ecology. Combining my diversity research with ‘tracking’ organisms in the water informs our daily dives in the ‘Great African Seaforest’, a monumental ecosystem we aim to protect.
