Thirty years ago Ziggy fought his deepest fear, the ocean, by taking a dive course in the Red Sea and realized the beauty and tranquility of the amazing big blue.

He weaves science and art together to promote the health of our ocean’s habitats and our connection to it. He has become a dedicated voice for marine animals who are paying a dear price as we damage their ecosystems.
