Catherine Uden, the Senior Field Representative for Oceana in Florida, will let us know how Florida residents, business owners, and local elected officials can help Oceana advance legislation to protect our oceans and marine life.

For over ten years, Catherine’s work has focused on ocean and coastal conservation in Broward County and led efforts to reduce plastic pollution, protect coastal habitat, and ensure public beach access.  Previously, Ms. Uden taught in the Broward County Public School System for fifteen years.

Evan Orellana, Regional Surfrider Foundation Manager for Florida and Puerto Rico, will let us know how local volunteers can protect our ocean waves and beaches through beach cleanups and water testing.  

Mr. Orellana earned a bachelor's of science in Marine Biology at Florida Atlantic University, who specialized in the study of corals and jellyfish.  Evan, a graphic artist, previously served as Director of Education at the Sandoway
Discovery Center, an oceanfront historic nature and shark conservation museum in Delray Beach, Florida.
