Sustainable Seas began in 2018 at the proposed Fulbright project of the founder, Kim Sawicki. For the first three years, the project was known as Sustainable Seas.
In 2021, the project became the full-time focus of the author of the blog, Kim Sawicki. (PhD research at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth)

Kim is a Ph.D. student studying conservation engineering at UMASS-Dartmouth’s School of Marine Science and Technology. As the founder of Sustainable Seas Technology 501 (c) (3), she is dedicated to working with innovative technology, fishers, and engineers to save marine mammals from unnecessary human-induced deaths, and to preserve coastal fishing communities as they are. She is recognized as a leading expert of subsea buoy retrieval systems for fishing applications and has extensive experience working one on one with fishers wishing to adopt on-demand fishing technologies.
Annika is a German-born artist and marine biologist living and working in Denmark. She graduated with a Masters in Marine Biology from the University of Southern Denmark and currently works at the Nordsøen Aquarium and in the past has performed extensive research to rebuild the population of endangered European eels. Annika has joined the Sustainable Seas project in an effort to reduce the vast suffering she has seen in many of the marine mammals she has worked with in necropsy; both whales and porpoises which were accidental casualties of fishing gear.
