What does the Ocean mean to me?

As you all, my interest and passion to the ocean and the sea environment started from simple feelings that came to me when I was interacting with the sea. The ocean represents to me freedom next to discipline, silence versus storm, enigmatic yet very simple. This photo collage reflects some of my past experiences at sea which inspired me to pursue a career in ocean science.

I hope that the next 6 weeks journey into the abyss mysterious ocean, will inspire you all to conserve, appreciate and understand better the importance of the ocean system to the daily lives of each and every one of us.

Enjoy exploring the ocean!
