I'm passionate about

Cleaning up the horrible polution created by the almost unregulated Global Salmon Farming industry. Companies make billions and have little or no concern for the environment.

An idea worth spreading

Putting in place psychology based programs to catch rubbish before it gets to the Ocean.

Areas of expertise

Cross Cultural Negotiations, Mentoring Environmental Technology Companies

The TED story

TED and the Environment - there is no better combination.
