João Melo
I loved every single person it this lab, their minds, their heart and of course their individuality. I learned a lot about ocean noise pollution, and that awareness urged me to act against it.
“It was an extraordinary gathering with very creative minds over a topic of global importance. Despite being my second MTF, this lab exceeded my expectations.. again!”
Since the MTF Labs 2021,
several results have travelled the world.
One is the documentary produced about
