Dr. Andy Lewis talks with SuperYacht Radio about his conservation work with the Coral Sea Foundation in Australia

An interview with Dr. Andy Lewis about the conservation work with the Coral Sea Foundation in Australia and his work with the indigenous people of Papua and young Melanesian women.

Andy is one of the most skilled and widely traveled ecotourism professionals in the Indo-Pacific region, with a strong background in small ship adventure cruising. He has managed the ecotourism activities aboard the luxury vessel True North for the last decade, exploring and delivering outstanding guest experiences across a wide variety of tropical locations, from the Rowley Shoals to the Kimberley and Great Barrier Reef in Australia; Komodo, Raja Ampat, and West Papua in Indonesia; the Bismarck Sea and Louisiade Archipelago in PNG, and the Western Province of Solomon Islands. Andy has a PhD in coral reef ecology from James Cook University and has extensive experience in scuba diving, surfing and kiteboarding in tropical locations. An expert underwater photographer and engaging public speaker, Andy’s passion for the reefs, islands and people of the South-Pacific is tangible, and drives the development of the Coral Sea Foundation as a platform for delivering his vision for sustainable reef management and the ultimate marine ecotourism experience.

An important aspect of his mission strategy involves selecting intelligent and determined young Melanesian women and training them in conservation theory, scuba diving and marine biology survey techniques so they have the skills to communicate the need for marine reserves to their local communities and are able to identify areas suitable for marine protected areas on their own coral reefs.
