Amber Sparks/ Emily (Callahan) Hazelwood Co-Founders Blue Latitudes Foundation + LLC. Marine Scientists. Explorers. Entrepreneurs.
Blue Latitudes as a marine environmental consulting company with a non profit foundation understands the often-complex environmental issues that face the offshore energy industry and has developed relationships with both federal and state regulatory agencies that are based on a shared goal to manage offshore resources in a way that is both environmentally sustainable and fiscally responsible. Some of the Earth’s greatest opportunities for conservation lie at the intersection of industry and the environment. The dynamic duo at the helm of this planet forward operation, marine scientist Amber Sparks and environmental scientist Emily Hazelwood, (both made the Forbes 30 under 30 list in the energy sector and met at Scripps Institute of Oceanography), have seen the human demand for ocean resources increase incrementally, and have laid solid plans to broaden the dialog on traditional ocean conservation practices to find ways to use our oceans without using them up! Their credo is profound; to elevate the traditional concept of ocean stewardship by uniting government, industry and the community to work together to conserve our oceans! In doing so, their foundation and consulting business, strives to explore innovative solutions to traditional marine conservation challenges, by uniting science, policy, and communications to develop sustainable, creative and cost-effective solutions to manage the environmental issues that surround the offshore energy industry. Today, they work with government and industry around the world to develop RtR strategies and, using remotely operated vehicles, literally diving into the deepest depths of the ocean to evaluate the marine ecosystems found on deep offshore energy structures.
