Madeleine Sherman
Project Manager
Being raised in Maunalua Bay on O‘ahu, the ocean was always my happy place, and witnessing the degradation of our coral reefs first hand has pushed me towards coral reef restoration. I have a broad interest in marine ecology and conservation, but my passion lies with educating youth and the community on anthropogenic impacts on the marine environment and all it's critters. I wish to share my dedication to science with others through education and hope to inspire them to become climate warriors!
