Client Story
Ryan Moralevitz
@the_fishes_wishes
From a nature loving 4 year old to a 15 year old humanitarian: Meet Ryan Moralevitz and his new book InspirOcean.
Ryan has raised $16,000 for ocean conservation.
Ryan has always loved books, especially non-fiction and books about fish and animals.
At the age of 4, Ryan created The Fishes Wishes to help raise awareness and funds for ocean conservation.
Ten years AND two books later, The Fishes Wishes has raised $16,000 for ocean conservation.
Inspiring Action Through Art & Education
From a young age, Ryan recognized that education is key to inspiring action. He wrote his first book at the age of 5 (Puffy the Pufferfish Saves the Ocean) to help kids understand the issues on their local beaches.
This Tampa Bay teen’s second book, InspirOcean (our first time printing for Ryan) may look like a children’s book, but it’s intentionally written for all ages.
InspirOcean is full of fish facts that have been fact-checked by two scientists. Interviews with respected ocean conservationists and the incredible aquatic images raise awareness about the threats and how we can protect species in our oceans.
Size: 8.5″ X 11″ | 110 pages
Binding: Smyth sewn binding to stand up to years of wear and tear
Text pages: 70lb matte coated bamboo tree free paper (a renewable resource)
Cover: 100lb gloss cover on 100pt recycled Eska board. Matte lamination on front cover and back
The sole purpose of Ryan’s books and other Fishes Wishes initiatives is to inspire readers to take action to clean up the ocean and local waterways.
“Action can look like supporting your local ocean conservancy organization, taking part in cleanup events, reducing the use of plastic or simply not littering”, says Ryan.
When Ryan’s not writing a book or studying calculus, he…
- runs The Fishes Wishes online shop where 100% of the proceeds go to his local Ocean Conservancy and Tampa Bay Watch
- creates and sells incredible hand-made sculptures from recovered sea trash.
This year to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Fishes Wishes, Ryan has a number of conservation events and a large beach sculpture installation planned!
We’ve been raving about Ryan since he first called us to discuss his printing needs. This young man’s philanthropy, inventiveness and knowledge is incredibly impressive! You can support Ryan’s efforts by following him @the_fishes_wishes
MCRL’s been a great company to work with. The service was great. Everyone on the team responded quickly. Mr. Josh was particularly helpful! I chose MCRL initially because of their environmental focus. I wanted a book made with soy ink and Bamboo paper and sustainable planet-friendly materials. It was a great experience.
