“We overrode logic to just go ahead and try.” Why we’re here, doing the work, every single day. . If you haven’t given our latest episode “Middle Brainer” with Rachael Miller a little love yet, this literal mermaid on land is helming the protection of our oceans on a macro and micro level, at the land-sea interface, and in homes alike. You can find her, the team, and their mission at @rozaliaproject @thecoraball .

“Every time we do laundry, our clothes shed tiny microfibers, which go down the drains of our washing machines, through wastewater treatment facilities and into our waterways.” . In referencing the natural ways in which coral filters our oceans, Rachael Miller and her @rozaliaproject team sought to expand upon corals’ role in this way by looking at the “ecosystem” of our own washing machines, and how we can address microfiber pollution at its root. . @thecoraball was conceived with nature as its cause, and nature as its answer. An at home laundry microfiber-catching ball easily implementable within your own domestic routine, designed for long-lasting use and endurance. Seriously, they remind me of Poké Balls and they really do catch ‘em all!! .

Just one of the many volunteers, researchers, and interns who found themselves amidst a crew with one commonality, our oceans. It goes to show that the blue planet touches each and everyone of us in one way or another; whether that be the rock pools you played in as a child, the holiday bucket list you’ve got sticky taped to your desk, or the very food on your plate. . She serves as a memory, a future, a home, an aspiration, and life vein to all. Never ceasing, ever providing, all-embracing. . If opportunities such as these are of interest to you, you can find all research, guest scientist, intern, and volunteer opportunities over at @rozaliaproject. .

The very boat that sets the stage for many of @rozaliaproject’s expeditions in connecting guest scientists, researchers, interns and volunteers alike in coacting as problem solvers, initiators, doers, and ambassadors to our oceans. . Call for 2019 expeditions! Last year saw a crew of people between the ages of 21-63 (minimum age requirement 18). Engineers, communicators, cinematographers, yogis, gamers.etc., all welcome. Rozalia Project is firmly rooted in the diversity of human community as we set about reflecting this very equilibrium back into our oceans. .

Four strategies, five oceans, one world, and a collective humanity. . Meeting people with where they’re at in ep 17 with Rachael Z Miller @rozaliaproject @thecoraball available at @itunes @applepodcasts @anchor.fm . #rozaliaproject #coraball #biomimicry #microfibersolutions #dataforsolutions #womeninstem #humanconnection #foracleanerocean #marinedebris #oneocean #greenproducts #gutsnglorypodcast #podcasts #intuition #storytelling #gutfeeling #illustration #characterdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv9M2RgIzuN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wcx5l0uv39ax

None of us are born at the finish line. If you can’t see any further than a few feet ahead of you, take those steps. Soon you’ll come to recognize the landscape ahead; the hills and valleys, and eventually the horizon. . More often that not we’re only ever presented with the individual journeys of those after they’ve attained a “desirable” level of success. We only share when it’s safe to, so as to be accepted, praised, approved of, loved. We emerge and depart as one and the same. This is you, right here, right now. . Allow for the play, the missteps, the wanderings, the search.

She’s the most comfortable in the water, albeit a little clumsy on land🧜‍♀️ . If there’s one way to describe Rachael, it’d be this spitfire energy. Which is ironic given her love for all things water. It got to a point where she had to make a choice between either sailing or swimming competitively, because obviously, she was doing both. With a hand in just about everything, a jack of all trades, she’s a prime example in that you can’t take anything at face value. In this case, surface value. . Former Olympic candidate, snow kite and windsurfing instructor, and the first in North America to offer ROV supported shipwreck tours, she’s the founder of nonprofit @rozaliaproject and @coraball, acting as spokesperson for our oceans. Through technology, innovation, solutions-based research, STEM programs, and a recent expansion into products, she’s bridging that land-sea disconnect between us humans and our home. .
