Andrea Marshall, a world-renowned conservation biologist, has been working in Mozambique for 2 decades. She was enthralled by the ocean with its diverse fauna, including humpbacks, whales, marlins, sharks, mantas, and dolphins littering the aquamarine water. When she was studying for her Ph.D., she found many anthropogenic influences such as people transitioning from fishing in artesian wells and subsistence fishing to aggressive gears, using gill nets, for instance. Then she realized none of the information she'd studied would be applicable in this area. Ultimately, she embarked on a long journey that would take over 40 years or more. In her eyes, promoting diving tourism would connect people with nature, enhancing the synergy with lots of organizations and governments and switching the light on ocean conservation issues. Andrea and the tourism centers are aware of the limitations and don’t want to develop this industry too quickly, as they acknowledge it’s difficult to wind it back when the issues are out of control.
