GOOD NEWS from 2022…A look back on some of the G

GOOD NEWS from 2022…A look back on some of the GOOD STUFF - Part 1 An #OceanClimateSurvey done this year, by the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation and NORC at University of Chicago revealed some fascinating numbers on where our heads are at in the US when it comes to ocean conservation… Survey found that - 🌊 ONLY 16% of American’s think the ocean is healthy - GOOD NEWS on the awareness level of the remaining 84% 💰2 out of 3 people in the US want more federal funding for ocean protection 🐳 77% worry about commercial activities harming the ocean… and want more action by our government to protect marine life from the impact of business 🐟 82% are in favor of #MPAs that protect environmental, educational or cultural resources 🪷86% said that visiting the ocean was good for their mental health… ummmmm, yeah it is!!! 💪🏼70% favor establishing marine protected areas that do not allow oil and gas drilling These numbers highlight the growing support in the US for more action on conserving and protecting our waters. It’s all connected! The very fact that this knowledge is catching on - that we are collectively GETTING IT - and understanding the need for more and better protection - well, it gives me hope! You really can take care of the ocean…from anywhere - There are more and more individuals, and organizations - and governments around the world - getting it, and taking action too. The choices you make everyday, matter, and I hope this is all good news for you, and to know that you’re not alone!! Ok! More good news from 2022 to come… To read more on this survey, get all the data and the full report, link in my bio👆🏼 @noaasanctuaries @marinesanctuaryfdn @uchicago @wdhof @the_explorers_club @noaa

Did you know that YOU can can designate a marine sanctuary?! Well, it’s true!
And hands down, it’s way cooler than naming a star (that is so 1980 🙄😆) The world needs more marine protected areas and I LOVE that this access is now available to all. Check out the new online tool kit with National Marine sanctuary and National Marine Sanctuary Foundation to support community led efforts to nominate National Marine Sanctuaries. Using all the latest technology, this tool-kit provides a how-to guide on the process – from advocacy, to nomination, and designation of the new sanctuary!

The IMPERFECT Conservationist…Giving with purpos

The IMPERFECT Conservationist…Giving with purpose! Coolest conservation Christmas gifts - day one… It feels good to give a gift with deeper purpose, and go beyond just buying something for the sake of buying it. So I’m always on the lookout for ideas that support conservation and sustainability. First up on my list this year are these beautifully awesome National Marine Sanctuaries commemorative 50th anniversary posters. I’m absolutely in love with all of these! The posters were specially designed by Matt McIntosh, senior graphic designer for NOAAs office in National Marine Sanctuaries to help us all celebrate the 50th anniversary of the sanctuary system this year. One of the things I love most about these, is that they are like touchstones to inspire and engage us - to learn more about, and visit the sanctuaries - ocean and Great Lakes! They can start impt conversations and help our understanding on how we can help take care of these special places. To get a poster - and give a poster - that supports conservation and the work of our sanctuaries, you can download digital copies - or - you can request printed copies from the NOAA outreach center by emailing your request to education@noaa.gov tell him I sent ya 😉 These posters won’t be available forever - so check them out today!
