Our @WILDCOAST team in the field today in Tijuana surveying our 2 trash booms —thanks @UCSBenioffOcean for helping us launch this project and continue to scale its impact!! The second boom is made from a confiscated totoaba net from the Gulf of CA.

Happy Lunar New Year! Shout out to my fellow Snakes! (Wait. Do snakes shout?) #lunarnewyear #YearOfTheSnake

.#AmustRead OpEd at @sdut by Amb. @AliciaKerber. “As a new administration begins in the 🇺🇸 for Mexican consular offices abroad, it is time to double down on the protection of the human rights of 🇲🇽 migrants, regardless of their immigration status. They are the top priority of 🇲🇽”

It is good, I feel, to begin a new year, or a new day, with a little reservoir of gladness. Here are some gladnesses I have gathered as a conscious way of consecrating our days with the blessed fact that we weren’t promised any of this — that the universe didn’t owe us mountains and music, that we didn’t have to be born, and yet here we are with our physics and our poems and our ever-breaking, ever broadening hearts. themarginalian.org/2024/12/3…

🎊What a way to kick off 2025!🎊 Today, California’s statewide plastic foam foodware ban goes into effect. Think of things like cups, trays and takeout containers. So how did we get here, and what does this mean for the ocean plastics pollution crisis? Let’s dive in. ⤵️ #SB54 #HappyNewYear

So happy to read that @paloma4D1 is running for SD County Supervisor. She is the embodiment of a community member who has taken on political roles to ensure the community's well being. Bravo Paloma!! Suerte y éxito! 👏👏

No te dejes engañar. Si trabajas en 🇺🇸 tienen q pagarte en dólares y una jornada laboral regulada. Acércate a @ConsulMexSdi para información y protección!!

Imagine with heat wave if beaches from OB to Torrey Pines or Del Mar to Carlsbad were closed—it would be a national “emergency.” But beaches for South SD residents that provide cool breezes/water from border to Coronado are closed and response is ho-hum. sandiegouniontribune.com/202…

Wildfires in Brazil, the worst on record since the country started tracking fires in 1998, are taking a deadly toll on wild animals, including at-risk species that scientists have been working for decades to protect. nyti.ms/3T2nPsw

Excellent analysis of ocean/fisheries crisis by @carlsafina @paulgreenberg . For those of us who steward MPAs this is the crux of the issue: “Far too often, these protected zones are merely delineated on a map, devoid of meaningful enforcement.” nytimes.com/2024/08/11/opini…

WHALE WATCHING: While this form of eco-tourism is fun and fascinating, more people are doing it and not everyone knows the best way to approach the “blue super highway.” We talk to @WILDCOAST @sergededina about their latest campaign, @CBS8 Monday at 6pm and Tuesday at 6am.

Our @WILDCOAST team was out in the field and on the water in California and Baja California last week. Conservation happens outside from the ground and water up!!

"For us to truly be part of this world... we need to understand plants. They suffuse our atmosphere with the oxygen we breathe, they... build our bodies out of sugars they spin from sunlight. They made the ingredients that first allowed our lives to blink into existence at all."
