More Than a Mission — A Lifelong Commitment

Every dive, every action, becomes an invitation to protect what we love.

“People protect what they love.”
– Jacques-Yves Cousteau

Walking the less-traveled road of ocean advocacy and restoration, I’ve devoted the majority of my professional life to hands-on marine conservation. Since 2007, TheOceanRoamer has stood for action, not just awareness.

From empowering grassroots restoration in climate-affected regions to launching transnational advocacy platforms, I’ve remained committed to tangible results. Over 30 tons of contaminants removed from the Red Sea speak louder than words — and represent just the beginning of what our community can achieve together.

Now based in Belgium, my attention is turning to the North Sea — an overlooked yet vital frontier in our fight for ocean resilience. Should I focus efforts here, where it all began?
