Environmental Speaker Series

WWU College of the Environment
WWU Alumni Association
Get ready for a dynamic underwater experience as photographer and filmmaker Annie Crawley shares stories from the Salish Sea and beyond to captivate and awe. She embraces the power of story, while challenging you to connect your work to a wider audience. Learn the power of an extended network, the importance of community, and finding your voice while sharing lessons learned from the sea.
Recommended video to watch before the talk: Take a deeper dive into what lies below the surface at Edmonds Underwater Park a 50 year old marine protected area in our region.
More information about the speaker series is available here, and past Environmental Speaker Series recordings are available here.
We are excited that we will be live-streaming from a WWU classroom for the webinar for our off-campus audience. Due to the pandemic, only WWU students will be in-person for the presentation but we look forward to welcoming you all to class virtually.
We have moved to a new event system! We encourage you to create a new profile and login when you register for this and future events, however, you are not required to login to register. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at alumni@wwu.edu and we will help you update your information. Thank you for joining us, and we'll see you soon!
Annie Crawley
Speaker
For the past 20 years Annie Crawley has worked around the world with cameras in hand, specializing in documenting life below the surface of our ocean. Born and raised in Chicago, she didn’t explore the ocean until after college. Taking a calculated risk, she sold her car to purchase her first underwater camera systems and never looks back. As an underwater explorer, she continues her mission connecting people to the ocean as a filmmaker, motivational speaker, photographer, writer, and a PADI Master Scuba Diving Instructor. Annie was inducted into the Women Divers Hall of Fame in 2010, earned a Master of Communications from the University of Washington, and continues to inspire audiences via multi-media presentations. She has created a series of illustrated books and programs to entertain, educate and awe people about life within our ocean. She works in the Greater Seattle area and travels with a dive team of kids and teens documenting their unique experiences. Click here for more information on Annie.
