In our fifth episode, we reach the French Mediterranean coast and Greg Lecoeur, who shares with us his journeys, his experiences with marine wildlife, the power of images and how raising awareness begins with individual actions.
A lover of the Mediterranean Sea since early childhood, Greg became interested in marine biology and diving at a very young age. At the age of 32, with a diving instructor's certificate in his pocket, he sold his company and lived his dream: a year around the world with his camera. Since then, Lecoeur has dedicated all his time to his passion for the marine world.
Greg was National Geographic's Photographer of the Year in 2016 and has been honoured with many other international awards ever since, including the recent Underwater Photographer of the Year in 2020.
By telling the oceans' stories, Greg aims to raise awareness everywhere he goes, talking to communities about the preservation of underwater ecosystems and sharing the stories of local heroes that do their part to enhance ocean literacy each day. His next quest: documenting his home - the Mediterranean Sea!
