Renate van der Veer - van der Geestsecretary Oceans at Work Foundation‘Observing fish never fails to fascinate me. I can spend hours snorkelling, it's a totally relaxing experience for me. The fact that the oceans are warming up and the sea level is rising as a result of the climate crisis keeps me pretty busy. At the same time, I also like a fish on my plate. That gives me mixed feelings. I see my commitment to Oceans at Work Foundation as a wonderful opportunity to contribute to a healthy future for the oceans.’ |

Frans van der Veertreasurer Oceans at Work Foundation‘It would be great if the concept of circular aquaculture could become a reality. Because it is still so new, it really feels like pioneering. Coming from a banking background, I would like to dedicate myself to the special work of the Oceans at Work Foundation. It's also in my own interest, because I love fish, both on my plate and when I'm fishing along the riverside.’ |

I think it is fantastic to contribute to a healthy future for the oceans. As a biologist, I have an eye for the big picture, both in nature and in the way we work together as people.
