to Boat International, London-
based Claire writes (mostly about
art) for the FT, The Telegraph and
Christie’s magazine. In this issue,
she interviews all the winners of
the Ocean Awards (page 123).
What’s the most impressive thing
you’ve learned from interviewing
the Ocean Awards winners?
It’s very good news, particularly
for Patagonian toothfish, aka
Chilean sea bass, that the
Ross Sea has been designated
a Marine Protected Area
What do you encourage
everyone to do to reduce
ocean pollution? We need to
consume less (especially less
packaging), reduce waste and
discard as little as
possible – and do it
responsibly and with care
Has anything really
surprised you during
your research?
I’m tremendously excited
by the discovery of
1,000km of pristine reef,
with a biodiversity to rival
the Great Barrier Reef, in
the mouth of the Amazon
