TARA OCEAN EXPEDITION
South America, Antarctica & West Africa
ONBOARD REPORTER – MULTIMEDIA JOURNALIST
I am documenting the new scientific expedition TARA MICROBIOMES. I was aboard the schooner for the first scientific leg of the mission in Patagonia in Chile. Later, I documented the Brazilian leg, from Macapa to Salvador de Bahia. We sailed the Amazonia river, from Macapa to Belem. In January 2022 I was back on board for the Antarctica leg. I joined the schooner at King George Island and we sailed in the Antarctica peninsula, and on the Weddell Sea. Finally, my last mission, was from Cape Town, in South Africa, to Luanda in Angola.
This new expedition aims to better understand planktonic life and the impact of global warming and plastic pollution on these microscopic organisms. My mission is to document the work of scientists and seamen while they are sampling the ocean.
I produce content (Photo, Video, and Podcast) for social media and for international TV media.
