24. Mermaids fighting against plastic! - Tamara Adame

Born and raised in a fishing village on the coast of Quintana
Roo, Mexico, Tamara grew up in the water and experienced nature
since a very young age and has been in the water all my life!


Tamara started teaching diving in 2014, became aware that most
divers, including guides and instructors, didn't know much about
the ocean and its inhabitants and there was a huge lack in
connecting people to the environment they visit when diving, so I
went on to found my first scuba business MANATUS, a dive school
based on using scuba to teach environmental science and
conservation.


She became interested in plastic pollution a few years back after
a tragic visit to the reef where a massive arrival of plastic
happened. That was the start of her journey into documentary
film, without knowing it, That's where I met Sylvia Johnson and
were we first talked about the Mermaids project.
