@zuzu_askin

Hi everyone! I’ve been on the road for a year and in that time many new names have joined this space and started following my journey so I thought it would be good to introduce myself again! My name is Arzucan, but most people know me as “Zuzu” and I am a marine #scientist, #CCR diver and #sailor. Specifically I am a conservation scientist, political ecologist and animal geographer. That means both my research and work focus on the issues that arise where our oceans meet society, covering everything from illegal wildlife trafficking to the management of marine protected areas all the way to the impact of tourism on endangered species. A graduate of @oxford_uni I specialize in human-shark relationships, studying the impact of human activities on our world’s apex predators and shining a light on some of the many untold stories about sharks. Driven by a passion for innovation and impact, my focus is on developing transformative solutions for the protection of sharks and the livelihoods that depend on these animals.🦈 As a CCR diver and sailor, I have a deep love for the scientific exploration of our ocean’s wild places both above and below the surface. So if I don’t get back to your messages it’s likely because I’m underwater. 😊 Want to join me in the blue? Great! I will soon be launching trips to share some of our ocean’s most beautiful wildlife with you - of course with a scientific twist 😉 Stay tuned for more updates and all things tech diving, sharks, science and sailing in the next weeks!
