Why is shark protection or marine conservation important to you?
I grew up watching the films of Hans Haas and Jaques Cousteau. Although I don't dive and swim poorly, sharks and the oceans have always fascinated me. A child's scribble drawing of mine already shows a shark in our neighbour's aquarium.
Do you have any special skills, experiences or adventures?
- I don't have any special skills for shark conservation!
My general qualities include calmness
Perseverance - never give up, there is a solution for everything!
And which is your favourite shark?
Somniosus microcephalus (lat.)
Grönlandhai/Eishai (dt.)
Greenland shark (engl.)
Water and air, the two essential elements for all life, are global dustbins.
