Vincent is an avid aquarist from an early age, and a graduate of the Marine Aquaculture program from the Montpellier University in France. He's one of the founders of the first Indonesian Mariculture Coral Farm, and has been culturing corals for over 20 years.

He's worked in many reef restoration projects in Indonesia and Australia, and installed farms in many places. He has extensively traveled, dived, and photographed the underwater world all over the Indian and Pacific Ocean.

He's passionate about corals, and their habitat; focusing a lot of his time and love for corals and reef gardening. He has a deep understanding of the marine ornamental industry, and met a lot of the players in this industry, from collectors to retailers.

He's a writer for Reefbuilders and many other publications. While deeply involved with the Indonesian ornamental industry from early on, he's witnessed the birth and the fall of their coral industry.

This is exciting! I am very interested in the "what we can do to fix it" part - hopefully this will include both a systemic and individual level.
