Carlee Jackson is an incredible shark conservationist based in South Florida. She is one of the co-founders of Minorities in Shark Science (MISS), a group that advocates for the inclusion of individuals from diverse backgrounds in shark research. MISS aims to amplify the underrepresented voices in shark science and raise awareness about the importance of diversity within the field. Inspired by her work, I created drawings showcasing her studies of sharks in the ocean, intending to honor Carlee Jackson as a hero who is advancing shark science and making a positive impact on the marine ecosystem. Completing this artwork has provided me with a valuable learning experience, highlighting the significance of minority perspectives in ocean conservation. It has also deepened my understanding of the active efforts undertaken by climate heroes like Carlee Jackson, who are dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion in their respective fields. This experience has truly inspired me to take action and actively contribute to making a positive impact on our planet.
