Dennis Fay, Salty Monkeys

Born and raised in the Torres Strait, Dennis grew up spending as much time in the water as on land. Although he’s lived a full life across the world—whether it was professionally competing in sports in Asia, volunteering for an anti-poaching foundation in Africa, donating fish to local charities, leading soldiers in the military, or working as firefighter—community has always been at the centre of each endeavour. Dennis is the project lead for the Marine Debris Taskforce, an in-community taskforce focussed on the issue of marine debris and finding sustainable solutions on country.
