From Passion to Mission for the Jordanian Marine Life - with Beisan AlSharif from Project Sea

They saw the plastic waste in the Jordanian sea increasing, and did not only stay silent..
In this episode, we have our first guest from the Middle East, Beisan AlSharif.

Beisan is a marine enthusiast with a passion for diving and the environment. During the pandemic, she found a traumatizing amount of waste underwater caused by the skyrocketing plastic usage. This then led her to co-found Project Sea, to extend her passion for scuba diving.

Project Sea aims to change the culture of littering and waste disposal by organizing monthly diving clean-up events in Jordan. They also educate the public by arranging interactive lectures, campaigns, and collaboration with local brands.

We also discussed how we often turn our eyes to Europe and sometimes forget that ocean plastic is a global and wider problem. We gained a new perspective from Beisan about what the situation is like in Jordan.
