Dr. Anamarija Frankic is a founder and director of the Green Harbors Project, a research professor at UMass Boston, and an adjunct professor at the Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography, Split, Croatia. She is a Biomimicry Educational Fellow, and a Fulbright Scholar. Her educational background in biology, ecology, limnology and marine science, guided her interdisciplinary work in coastal and watershed ecosystem restoration, nationally and internationally. In 2008, Anamarija and her students established the Green Harbors Project to discover how urban harbors can become healthy, wealthy and sustainable, right here and now. She initiated and established the ‘livinglabs’ as part of the applied science education where students and local communities are able to ‘learn and teach by doing’ biomimicry, applying nature’s wisdom for sustainable future; her premise is that ‘our environment sets the limits for sustainable development’.
