"The risks are big, the opportunities are huge. We are all in the same boat, and it’s time to make the change, it’s time to move in harmony with nature around"- Eyal Kapulnik
In this weeks episode, I chat with Eyal Kapulnik from Israel. Growing up he was active in various youth movements and learned about the therapeutic side of the ocean through sailing with special needs groups. In the Pacific islands, he was part of an Oceans Watch ecology research & humanitarian aid expedition and experienced first-hand environmental issues that are apparent in our oceans. Eyal pursued a BSc in Marine Biology and gained a deeper science-based understanding of key global sustainability topics. Over the past few years, Eyal has worked in marine conservation with youth and adults in order to raise awareness and connect to the oceans and the water around us. Today, he is an Emergency oil pollution volunteer Coordinator with Ecoocean as well as a freediving instructor. We chat about his journey and work as an emergency oil pollution coordinator as well as his campaign developed for Peace Boat US and Pendulum's World Oceans Day celebrations called " Open Your Sail". To learn more about the campaign check out Pendulum's website and be sure to follow Eyal on Instagram to keep up to date with all his work!
