Pitches Wanted (Coastal Ecosystem, Research, Scientist Profiles)

Hakai Magazine explores science and society in coastal ecosystems. Our editorially independent web publication examines the ties between the ocean, land, and human societies through long- and short-form journalism, illustration, photography, and video. Before you pitch, please review our website and these guidelines. Pitches can come from a variety of perspectives—archaeology, ecology, biology, geology, oceanography, anthropology, environment, business, technology, policy, engineering, history, and more—but they must pertain to marine coastal environments in some way. We invite you to submit brief query letters detailing potential stories that focus on coastal ecosystems, cultures, and communities around the world. Indicate the story’s angle and some of its important elements. Include your credentials and three links to your published work. No phone queries, please. If, after two weeks, you have yet to receive a reply, contact us by email to make sure we received the pitch.
