Wavemakers In Action
Eldon and Marilyn Ball are Wavemakers.
In their second year as World Oceans Giving Day Wavemakers distinguished scientists, Eldon and Marilyn Ball are making waves in marine protection.
With careers spanning diverse marine topics, Eldon focuses on corals, while Marilyn studies mangroves, the expertise of scientists such as Eldon and Marilyn forms the foundation of AMCS advocacy, earning trust across politics.
As avid supporters of environmental causes, they’ve witnessed the transformative impact of campaigns like ours.
They urge more supporters to become involved; “Everyone can contribute to the cause in some way, financially, politically, or by actions in their daily lives, such as reducing the use of plastic.”
