We aspire to carry on their legacy and commitment to making the world a better place by creating long-lasting impacts with a firm commitment to driving positive change for the environment and our ocean. We will never forget the light that Danielle and Micah brought to the world and will continue to keep them in our hearts.

What was your biggest challenge?
The most significant challenge in the Resilient Earth project was balancing the need for widespread awareness with the limited resources available. Navigating this, we strategically leveraged social media and collaborated with like-minded organizations to maximize our reach. We prioritized impactful storytelling to convey our message efficiently, making the most of available platforms. Additionally, fostering a sense of community and shared responsibility among project participants helped overcome challenges, creating a resilient support network.
