Marine biologist Dr. Diana Pazmiño is on a mission to inspire the next generation of Galapagos conservationists. After discovering that many island children didn’t know how to swim, she co-founded Chicas con Agallas (The Gills Club), giving young girls hands-on marine science education in the surrounding seas. Full of Life is a moving portrait of empowerment, education, and the future of ocean stewardship.
