Image by @jim_abernethy // Interacting with Wild Dolphins in their world is definitely one of the most enjoyable wild animal interactions I've had the pleasure of experiencing! Frequently, like these dolphins here they will have sex right in front of us! These very intelligent social creatures appear to be having lots of fun all the time! We run 2 different trips to experience their world with them. One is our Wild Dolphin Encounters trip for snorkelers and the other is our Marinelife Overload trip! These wild dolphins are just one of the species were experiencing during our new summer live-aboard trip called..."Marinelife Overload"! We will be targeting encounters with the large aquatic life of both Bahamas and Florida! In the Bahamas we will visit the Little Bahama Bank for Tiger Beach for sharks and the Sugar Wreck for Sea Turtles and other abundant marine life with gorgeous healthy corals. On the Great Bahama Bank we will experience the World's Friendliest Wild Dolphins, Atlantic Spotted Dolphins as well as the Sapona Wreck! In Florida we will spend time with Goliath Grouper that aggregate on our beautiful ship wrecks, as well as up to 5 species of Sea Turtles that reside on our vibrantly colored reefs and wrecks! So there is no question why we labeled it..."Marinelife Overload"! DM me with your email address if your interested in receiving more information on either of these trips!

We will be experiencing these gentile giants as well as many other amazing creatures on both our Florida live-aboard (May 23-25) and our "Marinelife Overload " trip! Our Florida trip will be doing 10 dives in 48 hours! Imagine Diving to your heart's content eating delicious hot meals and then just crashing without having to put anything away for the entire trip!

Image by @jim_abernethy // in the cetaceans world, this species is known as the friendliest wild dolphins worldwide...The Atlantic Spotted Dolphins of the Bahamas! This image was shot during our amazingly calm and crystal clear waters of our Bahamian summers! To be able to interact with them on there terms in their world is humbling, amazing and definitely life changing! In fact I'm almost speechless trying to come up with words describing how it makes me feel! We still have space aboard if your interested in joining us this summer! Contact my office at the link in my bio for more info so you can join us soon. In Florida our wild dolphins and many other wildlife had massive death numbers that is most accurately described as "death of biblical proportions" as a result of Red Tide that was fueled heavily by phosphorus and nitrates! I believe the main cause was 4 decades of Government Sanctioned Poisoning of our Rivers, lakes and Aquifers with Glyphosate and other terrible chemicals that are killing everything! In 2017 the Aquatic Plant Management of FWC increased the active ingredient of glyphosate 250% and increased the number of gallons sprayed by 25% to nearly 1 million gallons! The hurricane churned up these chemicals that were accumulating in the mud as dead plants, forcing it through Lake Okeechobee to the east and west killing everything in its path! Glyphosate is a registered antibiotic that kills the immune system of all creatures, including humans! We must stop our government from killing everything! Please, please please help by going to the links in my bio! @jim_abernethy @wildlifevoiceinc @sealegacy #TurningTheTide #redtide #wilddolphins #savedolphins #saveoceans #paradise #beautiful #glyphosate #iloveflorida #protectwildlife #endglyphosate #cleanwater #stopthepoison #carcinogen #needlessslaughter #atlanticspotteddolphin ilovedolphins #wilddolphinencounters #conservation #gorgeous #Bethechangetheworldneeds (at The Bahamas) https://www.instagram.com/jim_abernethy/p/ByNHVxmpSeq/?igshid=ma4c6pnp8v0k

Image by @jim_abernethy // The American Alligator is one of the perfect examples of great conservation efforts. This species was hunted to the brink of extinction by the 1970's. In 1967 it was put on the endangered list. The huge demand for their skin and meat nearly wiped them out however huge conservation efforts actually reversed their collapse and the American Alligator is no longer on the endangered list! Cousteau said it best, "We only protect what we love! I love all wildlife, so thank YOU very much for all your help! My favorite Alligator in the wild, Fluffy! Join me in the everglades to see our beautiful wildlife for yourself. Please sign the petition in my bio to end the spraying of nearly 1 million gallons of glyphosate, a registered antibiotic in our aquifers where 90% of our drinking water comes from! This is the cause of all of the worst Red Tides and will continue to be until we stop it! @jim_abernethy @wildlifevoiceinc @sealegacy #TurningTheTide #everglades #stopthepoison #saveplanetearth #redtide #toxic18 #bluegreenalgae #SaveFlorida #glyphosate #iloveflorida #protectwildlife #endglyphosate #cleanwater #saveprotectedanimals #savetheeverglades #bethechangetheworldneeds #savewildlife #protectwhatyoulove #ilovecrocodileans #ilovewildlife #epicimages #sustainable #saveplanetearth #conservation #jimabernethysscubaadventures (at Dupuis Management Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz1jglipgtJ/?igshid=jsox2z6m5vrg

🚨CALL TO ACTION🚨 Video by: Jim Abernethy Over 800 gentile manatees like the ones viewed here DIED from the Red Tide here in Florida due to the high nutrient loading caused by decades of Government sanctioned aquatic plant management! We must end Glyphosate and other chemical use that are being sprayed right into our dring water...our aquifers! We must switch to mechanical harvest now! Yesterday a scientific report came out stating that if your exposed to glyphosate you have a 41% great chance of getting cancer! Everyong in Florida has been exposed to Glyphosate for decades! We spoke and the FWC listened! Help bring an end to the state sanctioned spraying of glyphosate in Florida's waterways once and for all! Glyphosate is the main chemical found in most chemical herbicides (weed killers). Its being sprayed in our fresh water systems, which in turn gets into our aquifers - the water we drink, bathe in, cook with, wash our clothes with... Glyphosate has been linked to certain cancers and health problems in humans, as well the death of NON-TARGET species, such as native aquatic plants, amphibians, fish and waterfowl, leaving large areas of our lakes and tributaries with oxygen deprived DEAD ZONES. Nutrient run-off has also been linked to exaserbated effects of red tide, which in 2018 set records, with the deaths of several HUNDREDS of manatees, turtles, dolphins, sharks, fish and sea birds. Florida has the most diverse range of flora and fauna in the United States and it's currently all at risk due to man-made causes. It's up to us to use our voices to protect our greatest natural resources! Let's keep  this momentum going! WHAT YOU CAN DO: -Attend the next FWC meeting, Feb. 21 in Gainsville -Sign and share the petition, which can be found through the link in my bio -Email FWC with your thoughts on the use of Glyphosate at [email protected] @jim_abernethy @sea_legacy @wildlifevoiceinc #TurningTheTide #manatee #saveprotectedanimals #SaveFlorida #bluegreenalgae #endglyphosate #toxic18 #cleanwater #glyphosate #RedTide #toxic #conservation #manatee (at Manatee Lagoon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt8iLRIHDWe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h9sobyptpnuf

🚨CALL TO ACTION🚨 Image by: @Jim_Abernethy So far, 6 species of sharks have been found dead, some in significant numbers from the Red Tide here in Florida largely due to the high nutrient loading caused by 4 decades of Government sanctioned aquatic plant management as well as the 2017's 250% increase of the active ingredient glyphosate and 25% increase in the gallons sprayed to nearly 1 million gallons a year. We must end Glyphosate and other chemical use that are being sprayed right into our drinking water...our aquifers! We must switch to mechanical harvest now and end this archaic means of plant management that is destroying our own health as well as the planets! Everyone in Florida has been exposed to Glyphosate for decades! Help bring an end to the state sanctioned spraying of glyphosate in Florida's waterways once and for all! Glyphosate has been linked to certain cancers and the exponential growth of many chronic diseases in humans, as well the death of NON-TARGET species, such as native aquatic plants, amphibians, pollinators, fish, mammals, reptiles and even sharks such as the lemon shark pictured here! This is turning Florida into a huge DEAD ZONE. Florida has the most diverse range of flora and fauna in the United States and it's currently all at risk due to GMO'S and Aquatic Plant Management It's up to us to use our voices to protect our greatest natural resources, our only home...EARTH! WHAT YOU CAN DO: -Attend the next FWC meeting, Feb. 21 in Gainesville at 8am. I will see you there! -Sign and share the petition, which can be found through the link in my bio -Email FWC with your thoughts on the use of Glyphosate at [email protected] -repost this post and help us save Florida Join us to see sharks up close for yourself! @jim_abernethy @sea_legacy @wildlifevoiceinc #natgeo100contest #TurningTheTide #manatee #saveprotectedanimals #SaveFlorida #bluegreenalgae #endglyphosate #toxic18 #cleanwater #glyphosate #RedTide #toxic #conservation #dolphin (at Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuFnDjEnYnz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15qp0s20f37bm
