Like many of us divers, Francesca Trotman grew up with a love of sharks. Unlike most of us, she parlayed her passion into a marine biology degree from Southampton University and then established a non-profit in Mozambique, called “Love The Oceans” with the goal of establishing a marine protected area in the province where she resides.
However, when you listen to the podcast episode, you will hear there are so many other amazing programs that she is also running that benefits the local community and the environment.
Francesca is also a fellow underwater photographer, so we also spend time talking about her photography journey, and ask her for tips on where to dive in Africa.
We recommend using the Overcast podcast player so you can see Francesca's photos as they are discussed. Otherwise, see her pictures in our show notes.
