Red Whelan

Pennsylvania, USA

Red has participated in the Ocean Awareness Contest for several years, most notably making the cover of the 2019 Yearbook and receiving a Gold Award in the 2020 Interactive and Multimedia category. Their view on the ongoing climate crisis was formed by their awareness of the effects of unfettered capitalism in America, and the lack of government action taken against fossil fuel corporations that are the root cause of ocean warming and acidification.
