In Episode 35 we speak with Katerina Topouzoglou an amazing woman of Greece who has dedicated her life to ocean conservation and awareness. Katerina takes us through her life story of growing up in the waters of Greece where she became a world class spearfisherwoman, underwater target shooting champion, freediver, and scuba instructor. We hear her amazing story of founding the non-profit All For Blue organization that coordinates underwater cleanups of trash and promotes shark conservation and education. Katerina lives an inspiring life in the ocean and shares so many great perspectives and stories with us on this episode.
Thanks for sharing Katerina's ocean life with us. You can find pictures and video of Katerina on her Instagram page and All For Blue website. There is also some fun stuff on the This Ocean Life Instagram and Facebook pages. We are also on Twitter ranting about anything cool happening in the ocean.
