The LiVBLUE Angels are the patrons who support J financially and with their trust in doing the work he loves, excels, and works very hard at.
They are committed ocean lovers, who fight for what they believe in. Knowing they share our vision for a healthier ocean is very motivating for our team.
Fast Company calls LiVBLUE Angels "a personal kickstarter for one marine biologist" but it's much more than that.
By making a monthly recurring contribution of any size to support J's work, his "LiVBLUE Angels" allow him to remain a highly collaborative, independent scientist, advocate, and communicator in a time when new ideas and the freedom to express them are sorely needed.
J. continues to work on behalf of sea turtles, making the oceans safer and collaborating with coastal communities and grassroots organizations around the world.
He is also leading an effort to connect the seemingly disparate fields of neuroscience and ocean exploration through BLUEMIND: The Mind and Ocean Initiative. Nichols has become a leading voice in the emerging new field called neuroconservation.
Dr. Nichols constantly mentors and supports the next generation of leaders, both informally and formally as a member of graduate student committees. The 100 Blue Angels make this important work with young conservation leaders possible.
You can be part of our LiVBLUE Angels tribe, working hard and collaborating globally for the ocean, by making a recurring monthly pledge of any size. You'll enjoy early access to new ideas, research, gatherings, and media as well as an invitation to the annual 100 Blue Angels Appreciation Dinner.
Deep Blue Angels who make a recurring monthly donation of $100 or more will get a bronze wave buckle made by sculptor Joshua Hoy. You'll always see J. wearing his!
