Leadership at the intersection of science, conservation, and engagement
Nick Whitney is a marine biologist with three decades of field research experience, including leading a long-term shark study at the world’s only marine protected area created to protect a shark breeding ground. That work now informs an effort to secure international recognition as an IUCN Important Shark and Ray Area. His research has been supported by millions in federal funding and featured in testimony before the U.S. Senate. He has also spoken to audiences of thousands, from TEDx to national television news and documentaries, translating science into stories that build public trust in conservation.
