The Travels of BlueMenpachi

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.”

A Dream of Energy

So I was thinking. Mokulele Hwy here on Maui is a daily commute to and from Kahului to Kihei.

Pollution Awareness for Maui: Ocean Acidification and Poisonous Plastics

Earlier this morning in my marine biology class, our presentations for our semester projects were due. I chose to do my presentation on Pollution Awareness.
Basically, a lot of people really are NOT fully aware of how every single day they are polluting the Earth and Oceans in some way.
I started my presentation with Ocean Acidification. Ocean acidification is when there is too much CO2 being released into out atmosphere and when our atmosphere touches the ocean (yes, it literally touches the ocean) it mixes with the water and basically makes an acid.
