About

Kavya Hegde dives into the heart of the ocean to protect its vibrant coral reefs, battling the silent killer of plastic pollution with every breath she takes.

Backstory

The first time Kavya saw a coral reef, she was eight years old, and it was love at first sight. The vibrant colors and teeming life captivated her, but it was the sight of a plastic bag entangled in the coral that sparked her lifelong mission. She chose to dedicate her life to studying and protecting these delicate ecosystems, earning her degree in marine biology and becoming a vocal advocate for ocean conservation. Her work often takes her to remote locations, where she spends hours underwater, documenting the impact of plastic pollution and advocating for change.
