In this episode of Upwell, we chat with Shawn Heinrichs, a photographer, conservationist, Emmy-winning cinematographer, and cofounder of Only One.

In the conversation, Shawn talks about what has driven his own passion of the ocean, his favorite moments in the water, how storytelling can advance critical conservation work, and the global campaign to protect requiem sharks.

You can find Shawn on Instagram and Facebook.  For this week’s action, join the campaign to protect requiem sharks at CITES.
