The most remote point in the ocean lies in the South Pacific Ocean and is known as ‘Point Nemo’, or the ‘Pole of Inaccessibility’.

If you pass Point Nemo at the right time of day, you’ll be closer to the astronauts in the International Space Station some 400km up in space, than any other humans on earth.

“Most tourists who enjoy these encounters (wildlife experiences) don’t know that the adult tigers maybe declawed, drugged, or both. Or that there are always cubs for tourists to snuggle with because the cats are speed bread and the cubs are taken from their mothers just days after birth. Or that the elephants give rides and preform tricks without harming people only because they’ve been “broken” as babies and taught to fear the bullhook. Or that the Amazonian sloths taken illegally from the jungle often die within weeks of being put in captivity.” . This issue is something that most of us don’t really know is happening. Businesses both domestically and abroad are great at making everything appear like the animals are happy and taken care of-all for our enjoyment. Behind the scenes, it is far from a happy life for the animals involved. . Just like social media is a highlight reel of someone’s life that make it seem like they have everything and are so happy, it’s a facade. They could be depressed, lost, struggling, and nobody knows because we judge by what we see on their social media platforms and not who they are as an entire person. . The wildlife tourism industry is no different. Seeing pictures of people riding elephants looks amazing but the process that happens to the elephants to allow this to happen, called phajaan, is truly heartbreaking. Even though this report was incredibly hard to read, it gave light and awareness to a major issue that everyone needs to be aware of. . Before you decide to participate in anything involving wild animals, consider these factors: 1. Freedom for hunger and thirst, 2. Freedom from discomfort, 3. Freedom from pain, injury, or disease, 4. Freedom to express normal behavior, 5. Freedom from fear and distress. More can be found at natgeo.com/wildlifetourism. . The more awareness we can spread, the more we have the chance to end this and give these animals the happy lives they deserve. #NatGeo #wildlifetourism #elephant #tiger #monkey #slowloris #riverdolphin #dolphin #baluga #polarbear #macaque #pangolin #anteater #awareness #justice #education (at Jacksonville, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzWiJIrB2o4WPXuCHhItTTMj5KBKSZdli22D6I0/?igshid=hknzo74xshvh

Happy Birthday, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service! We’re wild about you! On this day in 1940, the Department of the Interior consolidated the Bureau of Fisheries and the Bureau of Biological Survey into one agency, calling it the Fish and Wildlife Service. With roots tracing back as far as 1871, the history and programs are some of the oldest efforts dedicated to natural resource conservation.

Happy #ScienceSunday!! . Today I want to share an except from a book titled “The World Is Blue. How our fate and the ocean’s are one by Silvia Earl. . I also want to challenge you to daily stop and absorb what is going on around you. Maybe it’s really feeling the warmth of the sun hitting your face, the wind in your hair, hearing the birds sing around you, really tasting the food you’re eating. Just being 100% in the moment. . “…I turned off the sub’s lights and sat in the dark, savoring the moment, knowing that no other human had occupied this particular place on the planet, trying to imagine what it must be like to be a lantern fish or squid or one of the slender eels that I had seen disappearing headfirst into a hole in the muddy sand and instantly reappearing-headfirst!” Photo from my first flight west of the Mississippi River for a NASA social a few years ago. . 📸 by @tina_conservation  #liveinthemoment #beinthemoment #SilviaEarl #exploring #imagination #littlemoments https://www.instagram.com/p/BzVpKOPhEzm/?igshid=irl0kuc73e05

I love flying. There is something so peaceful when you’re flying through clouds or looking down at clouds. Clouds in themselves amaze me. And then seeing how the land changes from the air: mountains, plains, snow...seeing how rivers wind through landscapes. It is just stunning and takes my breath away sometimes.

.

This sunrise from the air was gorgeous. I hope you get to experience a sunrise or sunset from the air. They are magical.

I recently went back home to Cincinnati and saw this honeybee in the yard and got so so happy. We need bees. Why? Pollination. Without it, we would have very limited food choices. These little flying helpers are essential to every human life and wildlife as well.

Save the bees!!

Loggerhead turtle hatchlings, Heron Island, Queensland, Australia

This is an example of what the egg chamber in the sea turtle nests look like. This was as deep as your elbow and this sand was packed meaning patted down and hard. The sea turtles use their back flippers to carefully dig this out to lay their eggs. It amazes me how perfectly round each nest is. Sea turtles lay ~100 eggs per nest. After a few months, the babies emerge. The sex of the turtle is determined by the temperature of the sand. Warm temps produce females and cold temps produce males. If the temperature is neither to hot or to cold, the nest produces both males and females.

All 7 species of sea turtles nest every year from May 1st-October 31st. During this time, of you live where sea turtles nest, you can spot these tracks in the morning or even if your lucky, the turtle itself! Each species has a specific track that helps identify which species it is. This track is from a loggerhead. We know this because the middle of the track is flat and each flipper mark, indicated by the swirls, are alternating. Each track has a entry point, markings which indicate where the turtle nested and turned, and then a exit point. In this picture, the turtle came in on the right and exited to the left. You can almost see a “x” where each path intersected. I believe I have a good picture of the nesting area of the nests. If I find it, I will post it.

.

Imagine the strength and endurance it takes these turtles to come out of the water, crawl up the beach, dig in the sand to lay their eggs, cover them up, and then crawl back to the water. How exhausting!

Tips to help sea turtle numbers!

Happy world sea turtle day!! These amazing creatures need our help and I’m going to give you some simple tips you can do to help their population numbers 🐢💙

1. When you’re at the beach, pick up your trash and fill in any holes you dug with sand before you leave. Things left on the beach make it hard for sea turtles to come up and nest and huge deep holes not only run the risk of humans falling in and getting injured but if the sea turtle falls in, it can be deadly.

2. Turn off your lights! If you live on the beach or know beach front businesses, turning lights off during sea turtle season, which runs from May 1st to October 31, helps prevent disorientation during hatching season. Disorientation is when the sea turtle mistakes a street light or a lamp inside a building for the moon and heads to that light instead of the ocean. Sea turtles instinct is to crawl out their nest and head to the ocean guided by the moon. Disorientation is deadly for sea turtles. They can get misguided and head to a storm drain or even out into the street and when this happens, the outlook is grim.

3. Spread awareness! Education is such a powerful tool to help spread awareness of the issues sea turtles are facing. Don’t purchase products made of sea turtle shells or food produced from sea turtles. Taking a stand also speaks volumes!

4. When you see a sea turtle laying it’s eggs on the beach or baby turtles hatching, don’t mess with them. You can observe sea turtles nesting with a red light but it’s important to not touch them and just stand back and observe. Sea turtles do go into a trance like state when they are laying but they are still wild animals and deserve our respect. Also if you see sea turtles hatching, keep your distance. If you see them heading away from the ocean, contact your local fish and wildlife organization or sea turtle organization. If you want to pick them up to help them, only turn them toward the ocean and then put them back on the sand. Picking them up from the beach and carrying them to the ocean can hurt them later in life when they come back to lay their eggs if they are females. They may not remember what beach they were born at.

If you have any tips not mentioned, reply to this post or send me a message and I’ll add it 😊

Happy #WorldSeaTurtleDay!! Each one of these 7 amazing species of sea turtles are at risk for being gone from this planet forever. #Loggerhead, #leatherback and #oliveridley are vulnerable, #hawksbill and #kempsridley are critically endangered and #Green and #flatback are all endangered. All of these sea turtles are facing a variety of causes that is affecting their population numbers. They are: bycatch, climate change, human impacts/consumption, among others. . Bycatch is a result of anything caught in a net or cage besides what is being fished. Say for example, shrimp. Sometimes fisherman use a net and drag it across the sea floor. They catch the shrimp but other species a well including fish, sharks, dolphins and sea turtles. They have nowhere else to go when they get tangled in the nets and usually drown. For crabs, TED cages have been introduced to help the sea turtles escape if they are caught in the TED cage. . Climate change is another factor being the sex of the turtles is determined by the temperature of the sand as their eggs incubate. Warm temps produce females and cold temps produce males. As the temperature warms, nest are starting to produce mainly females which isn’t good for the reproduction of the species as time passes. Only 1 in 1,000 babies make it to adulthood to reproduce. Even the mad run from their nest to the ocean they run the risk of being picked up by a seagull or crab. . Human consumption is also a risk. There are parts of the world that still eat the sea turtle eggs and their shells are used to make everything from eyeglass frames to hair clips-especially the hawksbill turtle. . So what can you do to help these amazing creatures out? First, take your trash with you and don’t leave it on the beach. When trash is left and also when you dig in the sand and leave the hole unfilled, it becomes hard for the sea turtle to nest and also poses a risk for the turtle as well as humans to fall in the unfilled hole and risk injury.
