My Blue View🐳
The ocean sustains life, supports food security, and helps coastal communities in Cameroon withstand climate change. Through my work in sustainable fisheries, mangrove restoration, and biodiversity monitoring, I have seen how healthy marine and freshwater ecosystems directly support both people and nature. Protecting these ecosystems means safeguarding livelihoods, conserving biodiversity, and helping communities build a more resilient future.

My Blue Action🌊
My ocean action is to strengthen the monitoring and protection of marine turtles along the beaches of the Manyange na Elombo-Campo Marine National Park in Cameroon. I will support regular beach patrols, nesting-site monitoring, data collection on tracks and nests, nest protection and, where necessary, safe transplantation to protected hatchery areas. I will also contribute to awareness-raising with fishers, schools and coastal communities to reduce poaching, accidental capture and threats to nesting habitats. I am taking this action because marine turtles are essential indicators of healthy coastal ecosystems, while their protection can reinforce biodiversity conservation, sustainable fisheries and the climate resilience of communities that depend on the sea.

My Blue View🐳
During a dive in Amed, our co-founder Mayur Srivatsav came across a heartbreaking sight. They saw an incredible amount of plastic floating on the surface – a lot of these tiny bits of plastic also sink and wander around in the open ocean finding its way into our aquatic friends. It is a sad sight indeed.

My Blue Action🌊
For starters, we can do our bit by avoiding single use plastics – Refusing disposable bottles, bags, and cutlery before they ever have a chance to enter the water. As divers who witness firsthand how these materials drift through reefs and entangle marine life, making conscious everyday choices on land is the most direct way we can protect the underwater world we love.

The ocean is a place of admiration for me. It represents strength, but also calm. A mysterious world we barely know that we should protect

My Blue View🐳
My Blue View is a river with dense vegetation, water running and clean air where I can relax in the weekends. However things are not like that, this river water raises an important question. Why the water is not transparent anymore? What is hidden beneath its turbidity? In this photograph alone cannot confirm the exact cause, but visibly murky water is a signal worth observing, documenting and investigating. The challenge is that pollution is not always as visible as a floating bottle. Sometimes it appears as a change in colour, clarity, smell or the condition of the riverbank.

My Blue Action🌊
I am adding this view of the Mureș River to help raise awareness of the importance of monitoring water clarity and understanding the sources of change.

This image is not only about polluted water. It is about shared responsibility and the consequences of inaction. A waterway does not become covered in litter and excessive vegetation overnight. It happens gradually—one discarded bottle, one ignored report, one delayed intervention and one unclear responsibility at a time. The public has a responsibility not to pollute. What is thrown onto streets, into drains or directly into the water does not disappear. It remains in our environment and eventually becomes someone else’s problem to remove. At the same time, organisations funded and contracted to manage waterways, maintain drainage systems and implement wastewater programs must deliver visible and measurable results.

My Blue Action🌊
Citizens can help by reporting pollution, avoiding single-use waste, disposing of rubbish correctly and sharing evidence of neglected waterways. Institutions must respond with transparency, clear ownership, regular maintenance and measurable action. This is not about blaming one side. It is about ensuring that everyone fulfils their role. The public must stop treating water as a waste bin—and the organisations paid to protect it must demonstrate that protection is actually happening.

My Blue View is related to the water in general. Lately on my way to work, I pass this view. And everyday it makes me stop and think. What we see here is more than polluted water. It is a reflection of how closely environmental health and human health are connected.When waterways are covered in waste, algae, and pollution, it is not just nature that suffers. It affects the air we breathe, the ecosystems we depend on, the quality of our cities, and ultimately our own well-being.

My Blue Action🌊
To show others in the area the impact of pollution, bring awareness to the decision makers and inspire others to join and build communities to take action for clean water, healthy ecosystems, and public well-being go hand-in-hand.

My Blue View🐳
My Blue View is where I feel most like myself. The sea is the place where I feel most comfortable. When I dive, gravity disappears and I get to see the world from a completely different perspective. I’ve always been curious about what we cannot see, and that curiosity led me to become a marine microbiologist. Science gave me the opportunity to explore amazing places like the hydrothermal vents of the Aeolian Islands, but it also taught me that the more we discover, the more we realize how much we still don’t know. That’s what keeps bringing me back to the ocean. Every dive reminds me that the ocean still has countless stories waiting to be discovered!

My Blue Action🌊
I   feel incredibly lucky to have explored unique marine environments through my work. Volunteering is my way of giving something back and helping protect the ocean for future generations.

My Blue View🐳
Beneath the waves I feel a relaxation and awe I haven’t found anywhere else. At the same time I know and see the problems. Overfishing and pollution makes these waters lesser. The life and discoveries that could have been are not. Working at the National park visitor centre helps me learn more and be inspired by the ocean to inspire more people. To help them care and live for the wonders of the sea.

My Blue Action🌊
Currently I share knowledge and love for the ocean, but doing practical restoration also feels meaningfull and fun. Doing more in this area and helping secure stronger protection for the ocean would be great.

My Blue View🐳
Mangroves are the ocean’s womb. I stood alone in the shallow water, surrounded by tall mangrove roots, quietly absorbing nature. Time seemed to stand still on this remote island in the Indian Ocean, far, far away from civilization. I thought I was alone there — deliberately. But suddenly, within a short window of the rising tide, I saw a baby octopus, a baby eel, and a baby sea snake almost all at once. In that moment, I realized I was not alone. I was standing amid rich biodiversity, in the heart of the tropics. But I also knew I was not alone in another way. Plastic generated by humans had travelled all the way there — carried by winds, tides, currents, and us. Beautiful mangrove trees wore unpleasant ornaments: blue plastic bags caught among their roots. The contrast of seeing some of the richest biodiversity alongside plastic pollution, all at once, in one of the most remote parts of the Indian Ocean, is something that will stay with me forever.

My Blue Action🌊
When I go back to the Andaman, I would love to organize a clean-up drive to gather the mangrove plastics and make it clean and pristine for the sea juveniles, and to promote responsible tourism.
