Ana Belén Yánez-Suárez studies deep ocean regions that harbor pristine coral communities. To protect these oases of life, she’s working to understand how corals in Costa Rica’s Isla del Coco and Ecuador’s Galápagos Islands have adapted to and suffered from the increase of deoxygenated waters due to climate change.
“I see my work as a way to help make justice for the ocean on which health we all depend … [and] as a way to light the way for others, especially women like me, who dream of working in marine science.” Explore more of Yánez-Suárez’s story here.
