Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation

This report highlights the development of an online science communication platform called “SQUID INK”. The project seeks to create: 1) A Creative Portfolio: the author assembles her own Creative Portfolio of creatively written conservation expressions 2) Supportive Community: establishes a supportive online forum in which other aspiring or professional writers and artists may creatively express their own conservation concerns and experiences within the field and 3) Broad Environmental Impacts: to allow open and creative discussion of conservation topics to filter across a broader audience than perhaps mere scientific or political journal articles may reach otherwise. Project includes short writing samples and tentative business plan for the development of SQUID INK.
