From an early age, Bodhi Patil fell in love with the ocean and felt how it truly connects us all and the living shared ecosystem we inhabit.
Uncovering crabs under rocks, he found peace in the blue waters, becoming an ocean climate activist and solutionist, passionate about the interconnection between Ocean Health and Human Health.
Patil believes in the power that young people have to create impact at scale, and was recently recognized by the United Nations as an esteemed ocean activist.
With a team of four fellow young impact makers, he co-won the UN Oceans Conference Youth & Innovation Forum with project INVASEA - Innovating with Invasive Species.
