Conservationist Loyiso Dunga aims to guard kelp, a crucial resource in South African waters that is home to invertebrates, fish and mammals.
Loyiso Dunga is a conservationist and marine biologist based in Cape Town, South Africa, working for Parley for the Oceans, a non-profit environmental organization based in New York City. Credit: Barry Christianson forI grew up deathly afraid of the ocean. But that changed in 2016, when I began mapping South Africa’s kelp forests for my biology master’s degree.
In this image, taken near where I first encountered kelp forests off the coast of Windmill beach, south of Cape Town, I am looking for the different types of animal, including limpets, sea urchins and octopuses, that live in these forests. In my advocacy work, I use films and social media to educate the public about how, for example, over half of the atmosphere’s oxygen comes from kelp forests.
