Hello, I’m Inka a marine biologist, wildlife filmmaker, and ocean conservationist passionate about sharing the magic of our oceans. 🌊 My work takes me beneath the waves to document everything from coral reefs to the polar deep-sea, collaborating with scientists to bring vital stories to life.

Congratulations to Erin Easton, Ph.D. & Javier Sellanes, Ph.D., recipients of the 2025 Citation of Merit from The Explorers Club! In 2024, they led an international team with @schmidtocean.bsky.social & discovered 150+ new species on unexplored #seamounts in the Nazca-Desventuradas Marine Park.

2 photos of the arctic both taken in the summer more than 70 years apart show the dramatic change in the continent ice cover.

🐙🌊 Meet Coco, the octopus created from over 2,000 pieces of ocean plastic waste! This incredible sculpture was inspired by the curious and intelligent octopus featured in the Indian episode of Our Oceans, who has made a home on a trash-littered ocean floor.

Deep-sea hermit crabs without shells? 🦀 Meet Parapagurus! Instead of traditional snail shells, many species use deep-sea anemones for protection. It's a mutualistic partnership—crabs get shelter, anemones get mobility and scraps of food. #marinelife oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/okeanos/expl...

It's time for the penguin weigh-in! 🐧

These three macaroni penguins from the 'Little Mac' colony on Bird Island near Antarctica are off to forage at sea to feed their new chicks.

We use an automated weighbridge to monitor their weight and foraging patterns! 🪶

THE SOUND OF THEIR LITTLE FEET 😭

Shifting baseline syndrome explains how we normalise the continual visceration of once unimaginably rich ecosystems.

Rewilding – our minds, lands, and seas – is the solution. 🌏

Deep sea mining plans blocked in Norway 🇳🇴🚫

Environmental groups described the news as a “historic win” for ocean protection.

Oslo had planned to let companies apply to mine 280,000 sq km (108,000 sq miles) of its waters, an area greater than the UK, for deep-sea minerals.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but sharks absolutely get cancer.

Even if sharks didn't get cancer, eating shark wouldn't cure your cancer any more than eating LeBron James would make you better at basketball.
