Ana Lucía (she/her/ella) is a scientist and photographer focused on visual storytelling for ocean conservation & eco-social justice.

With a Master of Science in Oceans and Fisheries from the University of British Columbia, Ana’s interest on ocean topics strengthened while working with The Nature Conservancy in La Paz, Mexico. It was where she first learned scuba diving and underwater photography, while also learning about local ocean issues from talking to ecotourism guides and conservationists. This planted a motivation in her to communicate these important topics visually to wider audiences.

Since then, Ana has gained extensive experience in research and communications while working for academic and non-profit organizations, and has earned scuba, photography, and filmmaking credentials.

Born and partly raised in Mexico, Ana also grew up in Belgium and France, adopting a third culture kid identity and developing a strong multicultural understanding. Currently, she is based in Vancouver and is a permanent resident of Canada.

Whether on land or underwater, Ana Lucía combines creativity and knowledge to connect, educate, and advance solutions to socio-ecological issues.
