There is a sliver of hope, a baby orca was born this year in January and scientists name her Lucky. With any hope, she will be the first orca in four years to grow to adulthood.

I wish you the best of luck, Lucky, may your name hold true.

During the summer of 2018 I have been lucky enough to partake in a research and conservation project in South Africa looking at the Conservation of marine mammals! Along with this I will also be building schools and educating local school children, and performing beach cleans for the local citizens in the area! This is a project very close to my heart as I am of course an Ocean Science and Marine Conservation student, and have had an invested interest in the mammal side of this field since I was 8 years old. I am fundraising until I leave for my trip; partly to get me there but also to help once there with the volunteer work that I will be contributing to for the duration of my stay. I would appreciate it so much if you could follow the link below/in my bio and donate, or simply share the link to spread the word.. anything will help! Thank you! ☺ ️ https://www.fundmytravel.com/campaign/0zNbhWMIne

Microplastics are ubiquitous in marine sediments, and many have unique chemical signatures. This makes them ideal indicators of the Anthropocene; however, we know little about their movement as sedimentary particles and how they accumulate. This project aims to investigate the movement of...

So a bit of ~~real life~~ stuff, but i’m running a project on microplastics in marine sediments, studying how they are transported in sediment underwater, how to identify them in small samples, and how they can be used as a chamical marker of the Anthropocene (a new, hypothetical geological time period characterized by human interactions with the environment). I’m working with some amazing professors all of whom really care about this issue and how it affects societies and the natural environment. Don’t worry if you don’t have money to donate; signal boosting this would be amazing! especially if you work in research and have colleagues in earth science.

Getting this funding would be amazing, since i’m part time and on a limited grant, most of my money comes from teaching and other side-jobs. There’s only 10 days left until the deadline so we don’t have long, and we’re really far from our target at this point!

Microplastics are one of the actual biggests environmental problem of humanity right now. Are small particles of plastic found in all oceans, from the sea surface to deep sea. Support this important project to discovere how these particles acts in the marine sediment.
