A Window into the Underwater World

As an enthusiastic world traveler, Fund Director Laura Francis finds great joy in being in and around the water whenever she can. Whether it's scuba diving in kelp forests or coral reefs, snorkeling with sperm whales and whale sharks, paddleboarding, or kayaking, she loves joining together with friends and colleagues to share a meaningful connection with nature and the ocean. She believes it's these experiences that inspire hope, optimism, and action for our blue planet.
