What others say:
‘Gloria is a passionate and well-informed champion of marine conservation. She is an ocean adventurer, scuba diver, film maker, scientist and an educator who has recently turned her hand to writing books for children, young and old. Her exciting stories are aimed at helping young people to understand the issues that threaten every one of us, as we all depend on an unpolluted ocean environment.
Many young children in the UK affectionately know her as ‘The Weirdfish Lady’ due to her primary school workshops, assemblies, talks at parent evenings and her published teaching resource material.
Apart from her writing, Gloria has shared her message to a number of interested groups as an international speaker. Her presentations and books are based on her underwater encounters in seas around the world. She has swum with sharks and been attacked by an angry Titan Trigger Fish in the Red Sea, got stung by a jellyfish in Indonesia and fought off a deadly Sea Krait (sea snake) in the waters off the Philippines. She has also amassed an extensive film footage and stories of gentle, strange and amazing sea creatures who live above and below the surface.’

Feedback from zoom talks
Stavanger, Norway
WOW! That was superb – thank you so much! Now you can add Stavanger to your list of accolades!
I’d wondered how you would manage to cover such a massive general topic… but you did an admirable job of enticing us all into your world before hitting us with “the important bits”! I also know just how difficult it is to talk to a silent audience without any feedback at all, but you are clearly the consummate professional!! I had a slew of messages right after we closed the meeting, all were very positive and wanted to pass on sincere thanks for your time and very engaging talk. (Dee)
Bernie, Southport, UK
Many thanks for your fabulous talk today, I have gained a greater understanding of the importance of protecting our oceans, I found it fascinating, very thought provoking and could have listened to you all day. Everyone was very positive and they all felt they had increased their ocean knowledge from your talk. (Bernie)
Liverpool, UK
Thank you so much for joining us this morning. The conversation carried on after you left and all said how much they had enjoyed your talk and how much food for thought it had given them ! Not only are you entertaining so many of us with your wonderful stories and photos but educating us about our ocean world and making us realise how much we need to look after it and not abuse or harm it ! (Ann)
