HEALTHY RIVERS, HEALTHY SEAS – CITIZEN SCIENTISTS TRAINING IN AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS MONITORING
Join the Movement! Starting June 8th, help the ocean by avoiding disposable plastic bags for at least one year. I made my commitment. Let’s see how good I’ll be doing!
Today is World Oceans Day, let’s make a commitment to the Oceans! Join the #WaveforChange and help fighting plastic pollution!
World Oceans Day is a global day of ocean celebration and collaboration for a better future. This year’s theme is “Healthy Oceans, Healthy Planet” and individuals and organizations across the planet are taking action for prevention of plastic pollution in our ocean.
FreshWater Watch High School students training @ Liceo Linguistico Giovanni Pascoli, Florence (Italy).
The outreach part of POSEIDOMM project has started yesterday with the first high-school students in Italy joining the global community of FreshWater Watch citizen scientists! After a training at school and a training outdoor, here you go, ready to get samples! In the picture you can see the students of IV D/L (Liceo Linguistico G. Pascoli, Florence, Italy) and science teacher Prof. Bruna Figliomeni. The students will use the data collected for their science exam at the end of next school year (end of high school, 2017). We will tell you more in the next months…have a nice summer and nice sampling everyone!
Marjo and Edwin, adventurers, seafarers and environmental advocates welcomed me into their house on the ocean in Lanzarote. They are really great people and I hope we can manage to work out something together, bringing them to the Mediterranean Sea on cooperative projects.
Orion of Aberdeen, a 17 meter (54 ft.) Koopmans Vanguard design steel ketch, built in 1988, is their home and they sail throughout the world with a minimal carbon footprint, reaching areas of difficult access and helping us scientists filling data gaps.
Ocean Conservation and Research is a platform for research, a platform for education and a platform for connections: by working together, scientists and citizens and advocates of the sea, we can contribute gathering knowledge about the oceans, their importance, and the threats they are facing, like plastic pollution.
Thanks Marjo and Edwin for the great job and for welcoming me to your world!
