Anna R. Oposa is a marine conservationist and co-founder of NGO Save Philippine Seas (SPS), an organization that aims to protect coastal and marine environments through education and community-based projects.[1] She helped create the first shark sanctuary in the Philippines and helped designate the thresher shark as a nationally protected species.[2] Oposa aims to combat what she believes are the biggest barriers to marine conservation: lack of coordination between local interest groups and a lack of public education around marine issues.[1]
