About this Project
Meet the author
My name is Sam Atkinson-Nicolls
I am a marine conservation biology student at Unity Environmental University with a passion for wildlife conservation, ecosystem restoration, and field research. My background includes prescribed fire management, invasive species work, wildlife rehabilitation, and conservation projects throughout Florida. I created this project to help others better understand the importance of marine predators like the smalltooth sawfish and the role healthy ecosystems play in supporting life both above and below the water.
