With your help and that of hundreds of other organizations worldwide, we will support and grow the global movement to protect at least 30% of our blue planet by 2030 (“30x30”). A healthy ocean is a critical part of the solution to the climate crisis. By supporting 30x30, we can protect our planet’s life support systems – specifically the interconnected issues of ocean, climate, and biodiversity.
Decisions about the future of our blue planet are being made this year by world leaders, and they need to hear from you! The actions that our leaders take (or fail to take) this year will determine the health of our blue planet and security of future generations for decades to come.
Leading scientists worldwide have determined that we need to protect at least 30% of our blue planet by 2030. World Ocean Day joins with many organizations on this important initiative. By signing the petition you are telling world leaders that you want action too! Working together we can protect our blue planet home for all!
Extreme E’s goal is to highlight the impact of climate change in some of the world’s most endangered environments, promote the adoption of electric vehicles to pave the way for a lower carbon future, and provide a world-first gender-equal motorsport platform.
The first sport to ever be built out of a social purpose, Extreme E aims to minimize environmental impact while maximizing awareness, racing in places that have already been damaged or affected by climate change or human interference and taking fans deep into the heart of the most pressing issues facing our planet’s future.

It’s important to be critical of whatever information we consume, and @seaspiracy is no exception. This rundown of the problematic aspects of the documentary by @browngirl_green is really great, have a read through and share your thoughts!
The bottom line is, fearmongering may not help, but systematic change and continuous activism definitely will.

I recently met Mike Savas and Charyse Schark while adventuring on Boom Sharkalaka in the Bahamas. Mike started Month in the Making where he set himself on a personal journey and challenged himself to learn 12 unique skills in 12 countries over 12 months!

Just in time to celebrate #WorldOceansMonth/Day and my birthday in June, My Life in Shades of Blue - A Visual Story of a Girl & her Ocean, my first photography book, is now available for pre-order.
Read MoreYou cannot seek to tame her. She will not be forced into a watered-down version of herself to satisfy the ideals of a weak man. She needs room to roam and the freedom to be who she is. If she feels too constricted, she will rebel against it. She is not docile or submissive and doesn’t need to be doted upon. If she feels she isn’t seen as an equal, she won’t hesitate to break away.
Read MoreA lot of people have talked to me about the new Netflix documentary ''Seaspiracy''. Although I'm glad it gets more people caring and talking about the oceans and what we can do to help, I also don't think eliminating fish from our diets is the solution.
I believe that being all ''doom and gloom'' and guilting people into doing something is not the way to inspire change in behaviors. I believe that a little hope, realistic advice and encouraging people to explore, learn about and protect our oceans is a more effective way to go about it.

I wanted to share one of my favorite swimsuit brands I recently discovered last summer after I met Hannah while on a sailing trip.
Hülya Swim not only makes bikinis that look amazing, they are also focused on the greater good of the planet.

It’s not easy to describe the way I feel towards the ocean, it’s been my safe place, my peace and my passion.
My Life in Shades of Blue is a compilation of some of my favorite pictures and sayings about the ocean.
All the profits from this book will be donated to Oceana. Oceana is dedicated to protecting and restoring the world’s oceans. Oceana seeks to make our oceans as rich, healthy, and abundant as they once were by winning policy victories in the countries that govern much of the world’s marine life.
Read MoreI’m a true believer that we have to follow the things that excite us because they aren’t random. They are connected to our purpose. We have to follow them and the world will thank us for it. Our dreams and our passions, our curiosities and our sources of joy, they are on purpose, and they are part of something bigger that we could ever comprehend.

Did you know that coral reefs around the world are vanishing at an unprecedented rate ?
Coral reefs are the rainforests of the oceans, providing a home for a dazzling array of life. Reef-building corals are the trees that form the foundation of the ecosystem.
Coral reefs play a vital role in sustaining the health of our oceans and our economy.
Even if you live far from coral reefs, you can have an impact on reef health and conservation.
Read MoreI recently started my journey into freediving and so far, it’s been magical. Freediving offers more opportunities to see marine life and it’s a great complement to scuba diving.
I like freediving because it’s the most direct and intimate way to connect with the ocean. Freediving is all about letting go, all the distractions of life are left at the surface.

We do get hungrier at sea as we’re rarely just sitting around doing nothing, we spend all our days being active, swimming, fishing and island exploring. So we had to cook often and be creative to make meals that were going to sustain everyone.

When I first started diving, I never thought I would ever jump in the water on purpose to swim with sharks. A few year later, here I am observing and diving with sharks in the ocean. I discovered that they are not only fascinating creatures, their symbolism also really resonated with me.
