Our Patrons
Maya is a marine ecology and coastal expert, writer and TV presenter who can be seen on BBC’s Springwatch and Autumnwatch. She has a BSc Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology, and an MSc Integrated Coastal Zone Management. She runs her own marine education business, Learn to Sea.
Maya says, "Sea-Changers is an incredibly exciting charity that helps allow sea-users and businesses to actively support marine conservation. I am delighted to join the Sea-Changers team to help make our mutual dream of better-conserved seas a reality!"
Theo Stocker, sailor, writer and environmental enthusiast, is editor of Yachting Monthly magazine and was a founding trustee for Sea-Changers.
Theo says, "It is a privilege to be a Patron for Sea-Changers. It is clear that we as humans have had a huge impact on the marine environment, and it is great to see Sea-Changers taking action by supporting charities, initiatives and grass-roots marine conservation projects. By supporting Sea-Changers, sailors can help protect the environment we all love so much and I hope I can encourage more sailors to do just that."
