Who
we are
Protect The Locals was created by a Delaware local, Isabella Robinson. Born in Beebe, raised in Lewes, Isabella is a 23-year-old marine biology & sustainable aquaculture major dedicated to protecting marine life and ocean mammals. Growing up, she idolized her father, Joel Robinson, a local fisherman who taught sustainable fishing practices and never made a flounder dinner wrong. Her mother, Denise Robinson, who took her to the Jetty fresh after birth, before even taking her home. Her older brothers, Dillon, Cole, and Eric, who taught her to surf these waters, and her little brother Vaughn, who skims better than she ever could.
Protect The Locals donates 10% of EVERY purchase to the MERR Institute. Our goal is to help give a voice to those who don’t have one, because after all, they were here first.
