Carissa is a marine biologist, conservation storyteller, and ocean climate advocate.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the past 10 years, Carissa has focused on ocean recovery efforts related to endangered species, reef restoration, conservation financing, community outreach, and environmental literacy. She co-founded Futureswell<\/a>, a conservation consultancy dedicated to advancing community-based ocean climate solutions alongside NGOs and coalitions through storytelling. Carissa’s work, company, and media projects are united by the shared goal of increasing pathways to ocean climate action and accelerating collective conservation solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, Carissa has focused her efforts on supporting coral reefs through restoration and community education. Since coral reefs support 25% of marine life and are on the frontline of climate change, supporting reef health has cascading benefits to the rest of coastal ecosystem health. She fell in love with coral reefs as the first ecosystem she ever snorkeled as a child. Now, Carissa works to bring coral restoration to the public, in partnership with NGOs and as an ocean-focused content creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
