Nice to be here

May 11, 20242 yr

Hi! My name is Erika and I'm a coral reef ecologist who dabbles in underwater photography. I also run a non-profit based here in San Francisco called The Hydrous (www.thehydro.us) which is devoted to ocean science education. One of the tools we use is VR/AR for scaling "virtual dives" for ocean literacy and conservation.

Glad to be part of waterpixels!
