ALI LEEPER

Ali started scuba diving at 12 years old and has been hooked on the ocean ever since. After pursuing a BSc in Marine Biology and Oceanography she went to work offshore as a seismic navigator. Her work took her to remote locations where she saw first-hand the impact humanity has at sea and the inequity of food resources. This created a desire to drive positive change. Ali completed an MSc in Marine Environment and Resources and is now managing projects and carrying out her PhD in sustainable aquaculture jointly between an industry and an academic institution.
