Natalie is an international oceans attorney who believes that legal protections should be earth-oriented, community-inspired, and respect all living beings. By focusing legal strategies through the lens of keystone species, such as sharks and cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises), Natalie advances protections for wildlife and their ocean habitats. She currently tackles international ocean issues as an attorney with Earthjustice and as a volunteer with Cet Law. Her previous work has taken her to five continents and spanned corporate law, academia, non-profits and international governmental organizations. Natalie loves to spend time with her clients diving, swimming, paddling in or on the water.
