WHERE DO I BEGIN?
I guess I should start at the beginning...
Last night at the Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, I attended my first OAT. (Ocean Awareness Training)
Our first guest speaker was a man named Dean Tokishi. He is an Ocean Resources Specialist for the Kaho'olawe Island Reserve Commission.
He talked about the history of Kaho'olawe;
How it wasn't only the bombing that lead to it's degradation, but the ranching period from 1858 to 1941. They had cattle, sheep and goats, which degraded the island.
Have you ever wondered what Ocean Acidification, marine debris, poaching, and pollution mean? Well, I am here to help. The first step to improving our world is to understand the issues we face. Only then can we work to prevent and counter them. Here I share my adventures in protecting and improving our oceans in hopes that you will be inspired to help as well. Even if it's just spread the word. This way we can all live up to my motto: “From the mountain to the ocean, everything is connected.”
