“Öresund is often described as the body of water that divides Sweden and Denmark. I believe it’s time we start seeing it differently. Öresund is what connects us. The Sound holds us together. Not a border. A bond. That is why Öresund Patrol exists.”

This is how Lukasz opens a letter he wrote on behalf of Öresund.

After moving to the shores of the Öresund, he began to truly understand the richness of this region — and the many untold stories hidden beneath its surface. By bringing these stories to life, he believes we can strengthen public understanding of the ocean’s vital role in all our lives.

Lukasz is a co-founder of Öresund Patrol, a National Geographic contributor, and an award-winning documentary photographer, cinematographer, and TEDx speaker.

In his work, he connects the science-curious with the science-serious — bridging the gap between research and the public. His storytelling, often focused on environmental challenges, has been featured in National Geographic, Science Magazine, The New York Times, The Guardian, and more.

At Öresund Patrol, we are proud to have Lukasz on the team. Because Öresund deserves the very best — especially when it comes to bringing the stories beneath its surface to life for the people who live around it.
