Autumn Blum is an entrepreneur, cosmetic chemist, scuba diver, animal advocate and ocean warrior. She grew up in Sarasota, FL and graduated from Eckerd College with a B.Sc. in Chemistry and environmental geology. After spending 15 years as a cosmetic chemist formulating products for the natural products industry, she noticed a sunscreen slick coming off a group of snorkelers while diving in Palau. She observed with increasing frustration the divers and crew bathing on deck after every dive – the soap, sunscreen and conditioner residues washing right overboard into these pristine waters with some of the most beautiful reefs in the world. As a cosmetic chemist, she knew that we could do better for our oceans, reefs, and ourselves. She came home from the trip determined to create a performance-based product line that would be safe for us and for our waters. In 2015, she launched Stream2Sea. Now, she continues to work harder than ever to create new Aqua Warriors to help spread our message. When Autumn’s not in the water or talking about protecting it, she enjoys spending time with her life partner John, their 6 dogs, 11 ducks, and 65 chickens. If you ever come by the warehouse, you will most likely leave with not only sunscreen, but a dozen eggs as well.

Autumn’s dogs Chewy and Max keep us entertained in the office. They are the sweetest dogs and love to be hugged!

Belinda is Stream2Sea’s Bookkeeper and Inventory Control Guru. She has a fiery personality, passion for our mission and is a mermaid whenever she has free time. Mother to two strapping young men, her maternal side comes out daily whether making sure the busy team has stopped for lunch, or holding us accountable for our goals. Belinda also makes sure all of the non-profit ocean related foundations we partner with are supported.

Vicki is, without doubt, the least adventurous of the Stream2Sea family but she’s just as passionate about protecting our planet. She’s a seventh-generation Conch from Key West who grew up playing in pristine waters off the Florida Keys. A journalist by profession, she specializes in “translating” complex scientific documents into readable — and actionable — reports. For fun, she rescues senior Shar-Pei and grows food for people, pollinators and caterpillars.

Leslie is the ultimate mother – of her children and our planet. She never passes up an opportunity to play on the waves as a paddleboarder or beneath them as an avid scuba diver. Leslie is an animal rescuer, ocean warrior, and real life mermaid. Stream2Sea’s mission is close to her heart since she grew up in Texas, playing in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and fortunately still gets to call them home in Florida.

Cat’s immense love for the calmness created when the ocean kisses the shore, piqued a desire to find ways to protect our waters and beautiful aquatic life. To be a part of a team of equally ocean obsessed warriors would only make perfect sense. Cat is Wauchula FL. born and Miami FL. grown. In her spare time, you will find her traveling, snorkeling, volunteering at local Nursing Homes and petting any animal that can’t run faster than she can. (I bet you just pictured her chasing a raccoon with treats). Ocean, Tacos, Animal lover, and office prankster Cat. 😉

Anya left her corporate career to start a dive shop in Key Largo. In the 15 years she owned her dive business, she saw the decline of reef systems around the world and decided to become active in coral preservation, so she joined Autumn’s tribe. She can be found in all aspects of Stream2Sea’s operation, and loves to help wherever she can. Anya lives on her sailboat full-time with her husband Rob, and never stops looking for new ways to minimize people’s impact on the aquatic ecosystem, so she loves the entire Stream2Sea product line!
