What’s in ISSUE twelve / Coral gardeners?

   

CoraL GardenerS

What does it take to protect a coral reef? Patience, dedication, determination and know-how. These are the tools that an NGO  in Mo'orea uses to defend its reefs and capture the attention of the global ocean community.

FINDING ANSWERS IN THE SNOW

To what extent can citizen science contribute to remote microplastics research? To find out, Airbnb Sabbatical sent five volunteers to collect and anaylse snow samples on Earth’s most unforgiving continent.

CHASING DRAGONs

Of all the extraordinary creatures that reside in the ocean, seadragons have to be some of the most mythical. But, like so many marine animals, they're at risk from heating waters and habitat loss. But what can we do to protect them?

SAFE HAVEN FOR SAWFISHES

Only five living species of sawfishes remain, and all five are threatened with extinction. Researchers at the NOAA Southeast Fisheries Sciencer Center are working tirelessly to figure out how to save them from that fate. 

FROM PREDATOR TO PROTECTOR

Millions of sharks are hauled out of the ocean each year for their fins and their absence from the global seas is already having a negative impact. Project Hiu, founded by Madison Stewart, seeks to convert those same shark fishermen into shark conservationists.

A GUEST IN THE WILD

To many, adventure means discovering nature's secrets at 100 miles an hour with a decent hit of adrenaline. But sometimes, the most fulfilling adventures require us to slow down. On Anclote Keys Island of Pasco County, this is certainly the case.
