Caroline Lewis, Ocean Warriors​ 

Picture
Caroline Lewis is 16 years old and a junior at Redwood High School. She does a lot of activities in the water when not at school including playing water polo and surfing and she is a certified SCUBA diver. She was inspired to become a marine biologist at the age of 10. As a surfer, she grew up with both love and curiosity for the ocean. She says, "I love the ocean because when I’m in the water I get to see this whole new world in which I never knew. Underwater you get to see new creatures and sites on every corner and you don’t know what to expect. It breaks my heart to see that every time I go to Muir beach to surf, I see more and more trash in the ocean and it makes me feel so angry that people are doing this." Now with the opportunity to work with All One Ocean, she can make a difference by inspiring the next generation by teaching them about the importance of preserving and protecting the ocean. She can’t wait to work with All One Ocean.
