Magdalena Gschnitzer is a SouthTyrolean activist, author, speaker and film maker. Ten years ago she began to dive where the encounter with a grouper changed her life forever. During a touristic dive in Thailand she found this magnificent creature that was caught by an old abandoned fishing net. Maggy was still eating fish at that time, and for the first time in her life she felt responsible for the suffering of this animal. So she decided to help him and to remove the net. When the fish was free, he hid himself under the corals. With parts of the ghost net under the arm, Maggy and her friends moved on. After some minutes, the grouper came back, swam side by side with Maggy and looked into her eyes and at the same time into her heart.
Since that day, Maggy felt this deep connection with nature and the animals. She started to collect trash on the beaches, under water, gave hundreds of speeches about ocean conservation and became a volunteer for different organizations such as Sea Shepherd.
Maggy has this strong beliefe, that every single person can make a difference: „Our daily choices are creating an immense impact and we have the possibility to choose new, every single day. Let’s take wiser choices! Let’s connect to protect!
“Right now Maggy is working on a documentary about HOPE. She knows, to hope alone isn’t enough. What it needs to make hope visible is courage: „Be courageous and stand up for our home and all living beings in it!"
Nadège Z. has studied sea turtles in the Pacific and Caribbean, mollusks in the Mediterranean, seabirds of the Arctic and many organisms in the Öresund and Baltic seas. We are happy to collaborate and spread awareness about water via the Memory Of Water projects.
