BLUE PLANET

Dr Joaquim Garrabou

Sea watcher

Marine conservation ecologist and scientific coordinator of Sea Watchers

“Nature will go on with or without us but if we want to continue living on this planet, we must work with it and not against it.”

Joaquim Garrabou looks under the sea to find nature-based solutions to climate change. The marine conservation ecologist’s work focuses on adaptation plans for coastal areas as well as sustainable uses of marine resources, giving a voice to the ‘silent world’ that’s fighting to survive below the surface. With Observadores del Mar (‘Sea Watchers’) he unleashes the power of citizen science for marine conservation.

Joaquim is a senior researcher at the Institute of Marine Sciences-CSIC in Barcelona and the coordinator of T-MEDNet network and the Marine Biodiversity Conservation Group MedRecover.
