PHOTOGRAPHY
ABOUT
Born and raised on Long Island (New York), Chris Paparo has been exploring the wilds of the Island for over 30 years. He is a wildlife photographer, writer, and lecturer who enjoys bringing public awareness to the diverse wildlife that call the island home. His passion for coastal ecology, fishing, and the outdoors led him to obtain a BS in Marine Science from LIU/Southampton and currently manage the Marine Sciences Center at the Southampton campus of Stony Brook University.
Chris is an award-winning member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America and the New York State Outdoor Writers Association. He is also a freelance writer for several fishing and wildlife-related publications. Although his work tends to focus on marine life, everything in the natural world is fair game.
