Claudia Allen

I became a Rep for Surfers against Sewage as I wanted to actively make a  positive difference to the state of our oceans and inspire other young people to get excited about our natural world and everything in it.

Having studied BSc Zoology and MSc Environmental  Biology, Conservation and Resource Management at Swansea University I am particularly passionate about the Welsh coastline and giving back to my local community.  I love marine mammals and have been lucky enough to study humpback whales and harbour porpoises as part of my research.

I am very much a beginner surfer but am really hoping to get better. My love of the sea began when I learnt to scuba dive on the great barrier reef 6 years ago and I have continued to enjoy exploring life under the water!
