A thalassophile is someone who loves the oceans. That basically sums me up in a nutshell. I’m Tyler Keitz, and I am studying to be a marine biologist. My goal as a marine biologist is to protect the oceans on our planet, to find a balance between the life that lives in those waters and with humans, and to bring as much knowledge I can to people about that life and the waters that contain them. The best way for me to do that is to share my adventures and experiences, and to try and bring the ocean to those that may not have access or to those that want to know more. Awareness of the oceans and the problems that threaten them are also my goals.
