Currently I design and implement our conservation focused expeditions and Voluntourism programs around the globe. Through our conservation travel programs, marine research, and investments in conservation, we are inspiring and empowering people at all levels of society to become better stewards of ocean ecosystems. I also work to involve professional artists on our programs to provide unique ways to interpret environmental issues encountered by our participants. As a non-profit our travel programs must support our mission - to conserve marine wildlife and habitats by deepening the connections between people and nature. We also try to go beyond that, and inspire behavior change post trip that will ensure that group members experience a new awareness of issues that leads to adoption of a lifetime commitment to pro-ocean behaviors.
