Rita decided from a very young age that she wanted to make a difference for the Ocean by being a vegetarian. If you look closely you can see she is surrounded by small black fish, known as "Castagnola mediterranea" in Italian, and by it's scientific name in English: Chromis chromis.

What you can do to make a difference for the Ocean?

Rita's favourite place to go swimming is at Torre Faro, in Sicily. She loves looking at the biodiversity underwater and swimming with people she likes. It makes her feel like an observer who is able to identify different fish, and she likes the unpredictability of being underwater, she never knows what she'll discover! Every swim is a surprise!
