I was presenting a film in which I had been featured, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cradleofcoral.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Vamizi: A Cradle Of Coral<\/a> which had been awared &#8220;best cinematography&#8221; at the NYWFF. I accepted the award on behalf of National Geographic Fellow Mattias Klum and award-winning producer\/writer at National Geographic TV Maryanne Culpepper. During the film festival I met with NYWFF Founder and Director Nancy Rosenthal as well as The Explorers Club 44th President Ted Janulis (both appearing in the picture above). Both unequivocally said I should come back to speak at their <a href=\"https:\/\/explorers.org\/events\/detail\/visiting_explorer_program_with_william_winram\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Visiting Explorer speaker series<\/a>, which I did in October of that year. They had also asked me to consider applying to become a Fellow of The Explorers Club.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Why did you accept?<br \/>\nA: I accepted because it was a great honour for me to be asked. The Explorers Club is the world\u2019s oldest Club of its kind. I am humbled to have been accepted amongst this great group of explorers who have been expanding the horizon of our knowledge in all realms by achieving what was once thought impossible. <\/p>\n<p>Q: What do you hope to accomplish as a Fellow of the Explorers Club?<br \/>\nA: The same as I have been doing for the past ten years. To continue to explorer the ocean and the relationship between humans and marine creatures to present true stories to the public. I will also continue to break records in the sport of breath-hold diving as a means of traction on the media to shed light on the plight of the oceans and sharks in particular.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fellow of the Explorers Club March 10, 2018 William Winram attended his first annual event as a Fellow of The Explorers Club during the TEC&#8217;s 114th Annual Dinner in New York City.
