He's the first Australian and only the 12th person in the world to complete the 'Oceans Seven' - a gruelling combination of the toughest open swims in the world. We chat about these swims and his most recent epic splash - a 30km swim Lord Howe Island to highlight the plight of the Flesh-footed Shearwater (muttonbird) and help raise funds for the ongoing research by the Adrift Lab team.</p><p><br></p><p>Useful links:</p><ol><li>Adrift Lab's fund-raising page for Lynton's swim: <a href=\"https://adriftlab.org/news/2020/fundraiser-ocean-plastic-relay-the-day-of-30-?fbclid=IwAR1tWmM9rI-a3IYHwQYFiaOMhz0lhqk7CJbA5axZdK-al6V9jSkg2mOEVx8\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://adriftlab.org/news/2020/fundraiser-ocean-plastic-relay-the-day-of-30-?fbclid=IwAR1tWmM9rI-a3IYHwQYFiaOMhz0lhqk7CJbA5axZdK-al6V9jSkg2mOEVx8</a></li><li>Lynton's \"Clark Kent\" persona: <a href=\"http://www.hbmlawyers.com.au/our-people/lynton-mortensen\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.hbmlawyers.com.au/our-people/lynton-mortensen</a></li><li>YouTube footage of Lynton's swim (and post swim chat): <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KxT-hc2DHc\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KxT-hc2DHc</a></li></ol><p><br></p><p>This is the first of our two-part chat with Lynton with the second (and final) part released next week.</p><p><br></p><p>For further information about Ocean Protect, check us out at&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.oceanprotect.com.au/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.oceanprotect.com.au</a></p>","author_name":"Ocean Protect"}
