I am João, nearing the end of my high school journey and on the brink of pursuing a bachelor's degree in engineering. From an early age and thanks to my parents, I've been captivated by nature, finding solace in hikes, the serenity of the beach or even just spending time surrounded by nature.

This connection has fueled a passion for various environmental causes, with a special focus on ocean conservation. From planting trees to organizing beach cleanups, I've been actively involved in combating environmental issues.

Joining MARE Madeira is an opportunity for me to expand my impact and engage with the community in the fight against ocean pollution. Through education and advocacy, I aim to inspire others to appreciate and protect our precious marine ecosystems.
