Welcome, Zack Karvelas!

Please welcome Zack Karvelas, who is the latest D.W. Bennett Fellow for Coastal Advocacy. The Fellowship honors Dery Bennett who was the instigator of Clean Ocean Action, and was a remarkable coastal advocate who spearheaded the American Littoral Society for decades. His leadership was renowned and his impact on ocean and coastal protection is still making waves.
Zack previously worked as the Field Intern for Oceana and helped organize against federal plans for offshore oil and gas drilling.
Zack is a graduate of Monmouth University where he majored in Communications with a concentration in Journalism and Public Relations.  While living on the coast, he became inspired to advocate for clean and healthy waterways. Aside from fighting for the environment, Zack likes to capture his natural surroundings and wildlife through his photography. He can be reached at ZKarvelas@CleanOceanAction.org.
