Dr. Kerry Sink is the Marine Programme Manager and Principal Scientist at the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI). She loves what she does, which entails exploring the ocean and mapping all the habitat types in South Africa’s oceans, assessing the state of marine biodiversity, supporting the establishment of Marine Protected Areas, and training a new generation of marine scientists with a passion for sustainable oceans.

Kerry is inspired by the infinite possibilities of the ocean, the discoveries, the beauty, the wonder and things that there’s yet to find out. The writings of South Africa's first marine biologist, John Gilchrist, has also inspired her to “go deeper, try harder and look more closely”. She says her students also inspire her to keep learning, try new methods and help maintain options for future generations. Dr. Kerry Sink is the Marine Programme Manager and Principal
