About SIDNEY OPIYO
I am an Environmental Scientist and Marine Ecologist from Kenya, deeply passionate about addressing environmental challenges and empowering marginalized communities. My work focuses on climate change, marine conservation, coastal resilience, and climate adaptation and mitigation. As an MSc Coastal Science and Policy Fellow at the University of California, Santa Cruz, I am committed to working with young people and local communities to co-create climate adaptation strategies that integrate traditional knowledge with scientific insights, fostering inclusive and sustainable climate policies.
Beyond science, I am a conservation storyteller and photographer, using powerful imagery to amplify the voices of coastal fishing communities and advocate for marine conservation and climate action. With over four years of experience in environmental advocacy, I strive to connect science, policy, and community engagement to develop innovative solutions for vulnerable ecosystems.

Hi Sidney,
Thanks for sharing about this brilliant event! Are there any recordings perhaps of the conference sessions that you could share with us?
I was also wondering if you add a summary of the deep dive article with us here because the link isn't working for me. Many thanks in advance!
Hi Thirza,
Could you try again, I guess there was a lot of traffic on the site but it should be working now. I will try and have the follow up posts as well so you would possibly consider subscribing to the blog so you are notified when I post.
