we, as humans, have changed the landscape of this world in an, now, irreversible way, but we ourselves rely on this world to sustain us. we need our environment. we are the environment, and our oceans truly determine the wellbeing of our planet. we, as sentient creatures have developed such a deep, complex consciousness; we are of the rare species even capable of cross-species compassion. i hope to help pause some of the pressures we are putting on this earth, and flex this compassion, delving deeper into the active humanity that i as person may be capable of.

i have gained certifications to join a community of divers who use education and knowledge to help save marine life and ocean environments. here are photographs of Utila, Honduras, taken by myself in 2019.
