Two examples of collaboration stand out for their scale and ​interdisciplinarity. SeaLife was part of a team of five experts in policy, education, and science, tasked with advancing sawfish research and protections at the regional forums and two priority countries in the Caribbean. The project culminated in ministerial-level meetings where the experts made their case for legislative amendments targeting existing gaps. SeaLife was also a member of another team of five experts in science, project management, and policy dedicated to launching a project based on a regional action plan focused on the Northwest Atlantic leatherback sea turtle and four priority countries in the wider Caribbean region.
