To the #islands where #conchshells are plenty... to the #Florida coast I call my beautiful home; may your shores be safe, your seas soon be calm, & the #waves of the #storm give the world a sense of the power & beauty the almighty God holds. #peace #love #ocean #imreallyamermaid #loveflorida ~💜~ @mermaidcoralbeth #hurricaneirma #hurricaneirma2017 #calmthestorm #prayforflorida #protectourreefs #coralreefs #fashionista #floridalife #floridamermaid #floridasmermaid #catcayisland #bahamas #catcayyachtclub #carribbeanmermaid #carribbeanmermaid (at Cat Cay Yacht Club)

It was fun to be behind the camera for a change yesterday filming my favorite surfing doctor @waterliliblue and all my new Fiji fish like friends! Swimming under waves is the most liberating, exhilarating and sketchy situation - sky diving inches from sharp reef! #alisonsadventures #protectourreefs #fiji @rawelementsusa (at Cloudbreak)

Feeling like Alison Wonderland going through an aquatic looking glass! Big Mahalos to @bigtonyalvarez and @sweetleaf70 for including me in their @tavaruaislandresort week and making me feel like part of the ohana! #alisonsadventures #protectourreefs #cloudbreak 📸 @hisarahlee (at Cloudbreak)

Off to @tavaruaislandresort Fiji to save some coral reefs with @waterliliblue and @rawelementsusa!!! . Studies show almost 70% of our oxygen comes from ocean plants! If the oceans die we die...yikes! . #savethestarfish #alisonsadventures #protectourreefs 📸 @hisarahlee (at LAX - Los Angeles International Airport)

Dr David Vaughan, Executive Director of the Mote Tropical Research Laboratory (@motemarinelab), stands among his tanks of baby coral. Vaughan (an Earnest Hemingway doppelgänger) raises the slow-growing organisms so they can be replanted in areas where coral bleaching events have taken place. Listen to his interview in “Coral Reef Rescue.” #protectourreefs #coralreefrescue @coralrestorationfoundation (at Mote Marine Lab Center for Tropical Research)
