Who will be teaching?

Born in France on the border of the Doubs river, Jonathan spent his childhood studying the river. He particpated in fishing, diving and building different setups with aquariums and ponds. As a child he was fascinated and began to observe and study the aquatic life of the river.

Jonathan has always been interested in aquactic ecosystems and about the possibility of growing food without damaging the planet. He believed that aquaculture was a sound way to avoid overfishing and to minimize the negative impact on Earth but what he discovered during his career truly changed his mind.
