About MMMN

Founded by microbiologist-turned-marketer Audra Hessenflow, Marine Mammal Media Network (MMMN) is a publication dedicated to connecting science, policy, conservation, and storytelling in support of marine mammal and ocean conservation.

Audra’s lifelong passion for marine life began in the lab, where she studied microbiology and marine mammal health. Over time, she discovered her calling in digital marketing and communications, using storytelling and strategy to make science more accessible and impactful.

Through MMMN, she brings together experts, students, and enthusiasts to stay informed about marine life, conservation policy, and the people and organizations driving change. Her mission is to help conservation nonprofits strengthen their marketing and communications, amplify their message, and inspire action that protects our ocean and the species that depend on it.
