I am happy to share that National Geographic chose my image to accompany a write up on the conservation work of Planeta Oceano's director Kerstin Forsberg.

I swear it's true, it's absolutely no lie!

The image shows a freediving Sandy that encounters a giant manta Birostris in the green waters close to the Peruvian coastline.

I am happy to share the publication of our article "Pioneering in Peru" in magazine DUIKEN.

The article tells the story of a coastal community that is starting up marine ecotourism in the waters off Tumbes with the support of NGO Planeta Oceano.

As we were one of the first to explore the ecotourism with local fishermen it was pioneering for both them as well as for us.
