About

Our Mission
Eco Mermaid Conservation is committed to saving our worlds oceans and nature trails by educating and involving both tourists and locals in its preservation.
How It Started
My obsession with wanting to save nature and wildlife began when I was five years old, watching Steve Irwin in 'The Crocodile Hunter.' I was captivated. From then on, all I wanted in life was to get outside, travel the world and immerse myself into anything and everything nature had to offer me. With the more time I spent outside, the more pollution I became exposed to. I started to find myself questioning what beach I could take my niece to, where I wouldn't be worrying if she ended up with glass in her foot. I wanted change.
So, instead of getting salty about litter, I decided to get involved, and Eco Mermaid Conservation was created.
In 2021, I hosted my first ever cleanup. It was in my neighborhood in Colorado, we had eight volunteers and removed a little over 30 pounds of trash.
At the start of 2022, I set Eco Mermaid Conservation out on the goal of removing 500 pounds of trash from the environment.
How It's Going
Today, Eco Mermaid Conservation has tripled our goal, removing over 2,000 pounds of trash from the environment in 2022.
Our most recent event had over 55 volunteers, removing over 800 pounds of trash in just two hours.
Eco Mermaid Conservation now operates out of Hawai'i, Florida, Colorado & travels around the world hosting cleanups.
