Marine Biologist Uli Kunz to Speak at Festival of Seas

CCMI is pleased to announce this year’s Festival of Seas guest speaker as marine biologist, professional diver, photographer, and TV presenter Uli Kunz. Hosted annually by CCMI, the Festival of Seas gala celebrates the beauty and importance of our oceans while raising critical funds to support CCMI’s ongoing efforts and allowing the team to respond to new opportunities and challenges that may arise during the coming year. Uli’s participation as speaker will add a level of information and energy to the gala, helping make this once again a memorable, fun, and engaging evening for guests.

Uli has worked on numerous scientific diving expeditions worldwide and is part of the German research diving team Submaris. He is best known for his work in ocean exploration, underwater photography, and public science communication. His enthusiasm for the marine world makes his presentations both educational and highly engaging. 

“Why do I do all of this? Why do I take extremely expensive cameras in a metal box into environments which do not treat electronic components well and due to their darkness, the particles, a lack of contrast, the cold and mud are not particularly well suited to photography?

Because as a marine ambassador, through my photos, slide shows and presentations I can give lot of people insight into a world they do not know, and I can promote the protection of our oceans.

Because I love the ocean.”
