Julia is a talented photographer from Germany, and for the last ten years, she has dedicated her photography to the ocean. Collaborating with her fellow ocean enthusiasts, research institutes, and NGOs, Julia has documented their incredible work and the endless beauty of the ocean.
While residing in the landlocked city of Stuttgart for most of the year, Julia proudly founded the OCEAN GALLERY – a space dedicated to raising awareness for ocean conservation through art.
Julia’s documentary tells a story of hope amid a relentless battle against dangerous ghost gear in the open sea ecosystem, particularly focusing on the Mediterranean Sea.
The documentary features two ocean guardians tirelessly working to address this issue—saving one turtle at a time and striving to make the Mediterranean Sea safer for marine life.
Ocean Born Foundation has supported this year’s Storytelling Grant.
