Why is shark conservation or marine conservation important to you?

Our oceans give us every second breath we take. As top predators, sharks play a particularly important role for a healthy balance. People should be informed about the importance of sharks and stop perceiving them as monsters. We must not lose these beautiful creatures.


Do you have any special skills, experiences or adventures?

  • Advanced Open Water Diver: One of my goals is of course to meet as many sharks as possible in person. :-)
  • Supply Chain Management Master's Degree: I have a lot of insight into import/export of products and especially about certificates of origin, which is very interesting especially for (shark) fish products.
  • Travelling joyfully and motivation for enlightenment. I like to travel around the world and try to let people get carried away by my shark passion - and of course children if possible. (e.g. school lecture in Panama)

 

And which is your favourite shark?
