The translation of research through media provides an additional mode of outreach that has potential for reaching diverse audiences.  It also challenges us as scientists to understand conservation issues from multiple perspectives.

FILM AND DOCUMENTARIES: 

 

I am collaborating with Matt McCoy of Loggerhead Productions on a series of short documentaries about sustainability and coastal ecosystems. 

 

Matt and I have been filming in Haiti for the past four years.  He has produced this video about our work there and more recently finished a short video in Haitian Creole about our research (see below on right as well).  We are currently distributing the video to schools throughout the region where we work.   

 

We are current working on a short abstract film, and a longer documentary about conservation, fisheries and ecology in Haiti - the first  of which we have submitted to conservation film festivals.  See some sample clips below.
