In this episode, we speak with Louise-Océane Delion who has recently completed her studies on our BSc (Hons) Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology course.
From an early fascination with ocean giants to protecting endangered seagrass, Louise talks about her passion for the marine environment, how we interact with it, and how we can better take care of it.
Louise grew up in the southwest of France by the sea, surfing, swimming in the waves and spending as much time in the water as possible. After family holidays to Hawaii she became fascinated by the marine life over there and knew at that point she was going to orientate her life and career around the marine environment.
Louise is also the creator and host of Plymouth Beneath the Surface a podcast that aims to explore marine career options, discover underwater ecosystems, understand marine research, and conservation initiatives.
“Doing this podcast is a way for me to connect even more with this community, to meet amazing people, and to share what inspires me with other people, so they could get inspired too.”
