With an inventive and proactive approach to ocean conservation, Packard utilizes art, design and new media to transcend cultural and linguistic boundaries inspiring positive global change.

For over half a decade Packard traveled throughout Asia documenting some of most remote and challenging locations bringing to light never before documented fisheries contributing to the destruction of ocean ecosystems and the often illegal trade of threatened marine life such as sharks, tuna and manta rays. An award-winning filmmaker and photographer, Packard’s work has been featured in festivals and publications around the world.
