Drifting Through Dreamtime

Aloha! I am a mermaid that has journeyed from the sea to educate others about the natural world that we share and inspire them to help make a wave of change. I have learned a lot during my time on land. I am a marine biologist, educator, animal caretaker, and oncology camp counselor.

Today, I’m a conservationist because I believe that my species doesn’t have the right or option to determine the fate of other species, even ones that inspire fear in us.

I ordered a beautiful clam light for my birthday last month and it arrived as a 3D puzzle instead. I contacted customer service and they very kindly sent me a replacement. The replacement arrived a day after my birthday. I was so excited until I opened it to find another 3D puzzle. I was quite bummed out at first–especially when I wasn’t offered a full refund. Then I decided to put some hours into them and attempt to build my new puzzles. With all the small chips and pieces I had to work with amongst the larger chunks, I would say both came out very nicely. I will need to fill in the spaces with something and give them a new finish, but I am so truly pleased with how they turned out!

Touching Moon Jellies at the Aquarium of the Pacific

Sea jellies technically are not fish. They are 95 percent water, have no heart, brain, or lungs, and are planktonic, drifting with currents, unable to swim against them. They have been on Earth for at least 500 million years. Jellies are eaten by many different kinds of fish and sea turtles, so they have an importance within a healthy, well-balanced ecosystem.

At the Aquarium of the Pacific, we had the opportunity to touch moon jellies! The part of their body that I am touching in this picture has no stinging cells. Instead, their tentacles and stinging cells or nematocysts are located around their bell, and help them to capture their food. Species, like moon jellies, that consume very small organisms, such as zooplankton and brine shrimp, do not have a sting that can be easily felt by humans. If you feel anything at all it may be just a slight stickiness.
