About the Founder of PlasticMeNot

Cristina Robinson, Master's of Environmental Science & Management.

My passion for science education & marine conservation was first ignited while being an environmental educator at the Wetlands & Marine Science Education Center at the Colorado Lagoon of Long Beach, CA. During my undergrad, I gained research experience by working in the Reproductive Biology & Shark Laboratories, as well as participating in the Japan-U.S. E.S. Morse Scholar Exchange Program my senior year. During graduate school, I was a Pathways intern in the Protected Resources Division for the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) where I gained experience in federal policies & regulations, consultations, and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility, & Environmental Justice efforts.

I protect marine life with research, education, & by advocating for plastic pollution prevention.

I volunteered as a community scientist for Aquarium of the Pacific’s Southern California Sea Turtle Monitoring Project in addition to being a whale-watching naturalist for Cabrillo Marine Aquarium's Whalewatch Program. Over the last decade I've also gained experience in coastal habitat restoration, water quality testing, environmental consulting, grant writing, fundraising, sea turtle & marine mammal fieldwork, relationship building, and community collaborating. 

Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Grab 5!

I recently graduated from the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management program at UC Santa Barbara, specializing in Coastal Marine Resources Management and Pollution Prevention & Remediation. Prior to graduate school I worked at OC Coastkeeper & Laguna Ocean Foundation, providing environmental science education & communication, hosting cleanups, & advocating for marine debris prevention. I use my platform to highlight pollution prevention policies & how people can make positive impacts through daily actions by what we use & do. I encourage all to pick up 5 pieces of trash whenever outside to have a ripple effect & inspire others to join the cause of a cleaner planet for all.
