Pippa Ehrlich    

Nature Journalist, Conservationist, Filmmaker & Co-Director of the Documentary "My Octopus Teacher"

Philippa "Pippa" Ehrlich spent much of her childhood in Johannesburg, dreaming of nature. Some of her earliest memories are of wading into the sea at Boulders Beach in Simonstown where she learned to swim. As an adult, Ehrlich set out to explore nature and our relationship with it as humans. Her role as conservation journalist for Save Our Seas Foundation brought her back to the shores of False Bay where she met Ross Frylinck and Craig Foster and experienced her first taste of Sea Change magic.

Ehrlich's growing love for the Great African Seaforest draws her into these cool waters on an almost daily basis, where she goes in search of stories that deepen her connection to this incredible wilderness and its weird and wonderful inhabitants. Ehrlich edited the Sea Change book and co-directed the Sea Change Academy Award-nominated feature documentary film "My Octopus Teacher".
