Recentemente, a algarvia abraçou um novo projeto fotográfico, “She is Home”, desenvolvido em parceria com o fotógrafo Mica Veras dos Santos e que visa, precisamente, a sensibilização para a sustentabilidade dos oceanos.
Através do estímulo visual, o projeto procura sensibilizar as pessoas para realidade atual da poluição e para a urgência que existe em salvá-los. Mais uma iniciativa com o cunho da campeã nacional em prol do meio ambiente.
Obrigado, Joana!
EN// “She is Home” is a photographic project developed by the Portuguese photographer Mica Veras dos Santos in partnership with the 2017 World Champion Joana Schenker whose objective is to raise awareness about the sustainability of the oceans and maritime pollution.
As a rule, photographic campaigns for awareness and against pollution of the oceans use the animals that live in this habitat (and well) as objects of exploitation. However, sometimes it becomes more effective to raise awareness through identification, thus using a person who makes the sea their home and who also suffers the consequences of those same acts.
Joana Schenker was born, grew up and lives in Sagres, on one of the last borders of beautiful Portugal. She made Sagres her home, and its walls of waves and sand. She spends much of her time on the beach and there she spends her best moments, whether it’s a beautiful sunny day or a cold winter morning.
The unpredictability of giving and winds, made her fall in love with the mysteries that the horizon and the future bring. She wants to live and breathe the sea, but she is also conscious to protect, love and treat it as if it was home.
At the end of the day, Joana’s foundations will always be the sea, the wind and the sand. When she is at the beach she is at home. Joana takes care because Joana loves it. And from this premise comes the idea for the salvation of “Joana’s house”, which is, after all, not only the home of all maritime beings, but ultimately the home of all of us.
The ultimate objective is to sensitize people to the sad reality of what is happening in our oceans and how urgent it is to come together to save it.

Once this spot catches the right swell and all the elements align, this high-performance beach break is Jared Houston’s ultimate playground for big airs, deep barrels, and getting his signature Hubboards Houston range dialed in to the max! xxx
Watch Willy Lujan, a young gun from the Canary Islands, travelling through Indonesia and Mexico, in a state of absolutely Sunshine.
A atleta algarvia, de 15 anos, que participa regularmente no Circuito Nacional de Esperanças, deu-se bem nas ondas de Duranbah no passado fim de semana, ao ponto de ter conseguido alcançar a presença na final em duas categorias distintas, Senhoras e Cadetes, tendo vencido a primeira e terminado como vice-campeã na segunda.
Esta foi a primeira de uma série de cinco etapas programadas por este clube da Gold Coast e também um dos primeiros campeonatos a ter lugar na Austrália após surto da pandemia da Covid-19.
Parabéns, Maria.
