“My ocean is my life.” These are the powerful words of Andre Miller, a marine scientist. He is also the owner of a dive shop that places heavy upon the exploration and conservation of his hometowns waters.
As a young child, Andre would be fascinated by tales of the sea told by his dad who was a fisherman. When he was six years old, his mum gave him his first equipment of diving. Then, Andre spent his time diving at a dive shop. With this training, the young diver was able to see new depths. But unfortunately, he saw much damage.
After finishing his studies in marine biology, Andre got to work as a member of the Coastal Zone Management Unit. It was here that once again he was horrified by the rapid decline of the numbers of sea creatures and the negative effects of poor boating practices which caused havoc to the islands coral (珊瑚). Therefore, the first mission of Andres team was to repair destroyed reefs and save coral. And they have been very successful in their efforts.
One of Andres perfect moments was his role in the creation of the Carlisle Bay Marine Park. The park has now become the premier dive site in his hometown. Andre describes it as “the best textbook example of how marine parks can benefit the islands”.
In 2016, Andre further promised his support of the conservation of Carlisle Bay through his work with other projects. Through their work, Andres hometown has seen an increase in underwater clean⁃ups, which has made marine life increase greatly. Andres contagious (有感染力的) passion for marine conservation doesnt end here. He is always searching for more. Andre Miller is a man on a mission.
