Organizations & Partners
Shared Purpose, Collective Impact
Around the world, countless organizations are working to protect biodiversity, restore ecosystems, and inspire awareness about the ocean’s importance to life on Earth.
The organizations featured here are ones I’ve connected with through membership, partnership, field experiences, conservation efforts, or educational initiatives. Some I’ve had the privilege to work alongside directly; others I’ve engaged with through contribution, travel, community, or shared mission. Each organization contributes in its own way to a healthier, more resilient ocean—and together, they reflect the spirit that drives Camera and a Shark: collaboration, respect, and collective action for the planet we share.

The Coastal Aware Alliance

Coral Watch
CoralWatch is a global coral reef monitoring program based at The University of Queensland. They combine coral health monitoring with education and public outreach, creating reef awareness using simple and engaging tools. Their Coral Health Chart enables anyone to collect coral-color data related to bleaching, with information openly accessible through their worldwide database.

Reef Check
Reef Check is a non-profit organization leading citizen scientists to promote stewardship of sustainable reef communities worldwide. They train and organize volunteer divers to collect reef-health data used by marine managers, scientists and policymakers. Their programs integrate public education, research and conservation to protect tropical coral reefs and temperate kelp forests across more than 40 countries and territories.
Looking Forward
The work of conservation thrives on curiosity and connection. As Camera and a Shark continues to grow, I hope to engage with additional organizations—scientific, educational, and community-based—that share a dedication to the ocean and the stories it tells.
Every new connection reminds me that protecting the sea is not the work of one voice, but the harmony of many—all inspired by the same endless blue.
