Jess Cramp

Profile: Jess Cramp is a scientist, surfer, diver, pilot, writer and conservationist whose philanthropic adventures have taken her from a field hospital in post-earthquake Haiti to a rural mountain village in Guatemala. She spent the past 3 years in the Cook Islands, spearheading the establishment of the Cook Islands Shark Sanctuary, legislated in December 2012. Currently without a permanent address, Jess is in a different country every month and in the ocean as much as possible. She splits her time between assisting the Cook Islands government in establishing a large-scale marine park, leading marine research expeditions throughout the Pacific, and helping her own burgeoning organization, Sharks Pacific, to become a key player in community-based shark research and conservation. She smiles a lot. www.jessaddwater.com Instagram: @bunchofbullshark www.sharkspacific.org (coming soon!)
