Some people say Ms. Mazor AKA Auntie Robin is a mermaid. She has created and operated many ocean education programs introducing snorkeling and the love of the sea to children and certifying teens in scuba, developing teen heroes who cleaned the rubbish off the reef in their free time. She is motivated by the opportunity to give children hands-on experiences of the marine environment and seeing their sense of wonder and their excitement in discovery, to watch them grow in understanding and appreciation, and make meaningful connection to the world that sustains us. That’s what drives her. "How lucky are we here to have our beautiful coral reef playground? Isn’t it worth the effort to educate our children to protect and preserve it?"
