Why Your Support Matters
Your donation directly fuels marine science that makes a real difference—both in understanding how our oceans are changing and in supporting the communities who depend on them. My research focuses on how coastal ecosystems respond to disturbance, climate change, and human impact. But this work doesn’t happen in isolation. Every project is built in collaboration with local fishers, educators, nonprofits, and community leaders who help shape the questions we ask and the solutions we pursue.
By contributing, you’re not just supporting scientific research—you’re investing in a more resilient future for people and the marine environments they steward.
What Your Donation Supports
Field Research: Supplies, equipment, and travel needed to monitor reefs and collect ecological data.
Community Partnerships: Co-created projects with local fishers, nonprofits, and educators.
Student & Youth Engagement: Workshops, classroom activities, and mentorship for young ocean stewards.
Science Communication: Clear, accessible outreach materials that translate research into action.
Sustainable Research Practices: Ethical, low-impact field methods and responsible data collection.
Every donation, no matter the size, makes a significant difference. If you would like your donation to go to a specific project or goal, or for updates on my work and ongoing projects, feel free to reach out directly through the contact form below!
