On this episode, I sit down for a fascinating conversation with environmental conservationist, PhD marine biologist, MBA, and executive director and founder of Upwell, Dr. George Shillinger.
George and his team are making monumental discoveries about the movements of sea turtles through the use of cutting edge tracking technology. Every day, he and his team are helping put changes in place to save these amazing creatures. Our conversation covers; what started his passion for turtles, how society can balance our livelihoods with the world's natural resources, why having role models in your career drives innovations, what is causing sea turtle populations to struggle and what we can do to help prevent them from going extinct, the unique ways organizations like Upwell are collecting sea turtle data and what it means for the future of conservation, an overview of some educational institutions with amazing ocean conservation and marine programs, and so much more!
