Welcome to Season 3! In this episode, I chat with Carlos Perez Murcia aka Profe Tiburon, a marine biologist and scuba instructor from Bogotá, Colombia. He is a passionate shark scientist who focuses on ocean literacy and policy. These are his favorite tools to scale-up collective actions that allow us to live a healthy future. Profe Tiburón is now the new President of Sustainable Ocean Alliance hub for Colombia (SOA Colombia), and environmental educator for Fundación Mundo Azul, Guatemala, and the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE), United States.
To kick off this season Carlos and I chat about the need to use the arts to save our ocean, the importance of spreading ocean literacy to children, and the need for countries to have an ocean ministry to allow for organised and centralised governance of our oceans. Feel free to follow Carlos on social media @profetiburon on Instagram and myself @ecovybz on all social media platforms!
