About

My name is Karissa, and I am the storyteller behind Eco Mermaid, and founder of Eco Mermaid Conservation. I am a hiker, a climber, a diver, a conservationist, and an imperfect environmentalist based in O'ahu.

Right now, I travel around organizing beach and trail cleanups through my nonprofit, Eco Mermaid Conservation, and work as an eco content creator; sharing how anyone can live a sustainable lifestyle, whether you're at home, or out on an adventure.

With everything I share on here (and Instagram & TikTok) my goal is to inspire you to get outside, travel the world, love nature, and to make eco-conscious choices that benefit both you and the planet.
