MEET TASNEEM
​
Diver. Sailor. Photographer. Artist. Adventurer. Biologist. Educator.
Tas is happiest underwater, knee-deep in the mangroves or working under the hull of a boat..
​
She has been designing and teaching immersive, experiential learning adventures for 18 years. As a dedicated researcher and learner, she is most often so immersed with a group of students in watery habitats.
Tasneem's formal training is in marine zoology with extensive research and field-work in the areas of intertidal & mangrove ecosystems. She sees her own process of experiential learning as an evolving journey and works with a wide range of field experts in indigenous knowledge, wildlife biology, sustainable enterprise development, oceanography and education design.
The currents of her work have taken her from the equator to the artic circle: the Andaman Sea (India, Thailand, Burma) the Maldives, SriLanka, Puget Sound, fresh water swamplands in Sweden, the Norwegian Sea and now immersed in the wild coastal seascapes of Ireland.
No matter the location, she is most interested in understanding how people relate to, engage with and learn from place.
​
Tas has curated her practice to facilitate interdisciplinary initiatives in the fields of ecology, conservation, education, and art-science communication.
​
Currently living in Dunmore East, she is in the process of creating a juxtaposition of coastal knowledge systems between the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic.
