 . Following on from our forum “Gunk in the Gulf” we take a closer look at our featured speaker Sarah-Jo Lobwein, with a series of posts that we hope will inspire you, spark ideas and create change. . Once again, we would like to thank Sarah-Jo for taking the time to join our forum. . Tell us a bit about yourself: . “I’m an avid SCUBA diver, marine scientist, volunteer (including Sutherland Shire Tangaroa Blue Volunteer collecting marine debris data from regular sites) teacher and traveller, and as a passionate conservation educator I have globally experienced firsthand the beauty and pressure fragile marine and coastal environments face, and believe education is essential for attitude and behaviour change. . Founder of Ocean Tidings, and the Australian non-profits Plastic Free Sutherland Shire and cofounder of SO Shire, I promote and advise initiatives to increase the sustainable practices of businesses and individuals in their journey in waste and pollution reduction, focusing on ocean positive and marine debris #swapforthesea solutions through the awareness of alternatives or ‘simple swaps’ to single use disposable plastic consumption in our everyday lives to stop the seas drowning in plastic.” . . . . . . #waronwaste #waste #saynotoplastics #refuse #recycle #reuse #repurpose #upcycle #protectourgulf #saveouroceans #gogreen #nature #conservation #climateaction #marinedebris #beachcleanup #bethechange #adelaide #fogsv #friendsofgulfstvincent
