Visited San Francisco's Visitacion Valley library branch today

Construction has closed a lane of street traffic in front of Mission Blue coffee, where I get a lavender oat latte. They always put two lavender buds on top 💜💜

Mission Blue

Nicht „nur“ Strömungen in Gefahr - it’s the „living ocean“!

Dazu zwei Tipps zum Anschauen, die ich heute entdeckt habe:

Mission Blue (Netflix), eindrucksvolles Porträt der Meeresbiologin Dr Sylvia Earle und ihrer Mission, die Meere zu schützen (dazu auch missionblue.org)

und ganz aktuell zu deep sea mining:
Deep trouble. Mit Sylvia Earle und Yo-Yo Ma 🎻

"Deep Trouble" With Dr. Sylvia Earle and Yo-Yo Ma

YouTube
I was just reading content from @PLOSBiology about #climatechange and remembered... About 5 years ago my elementary-school aged daughter watched the documentary "Mission Blue" (#missionblue #nonprofit #CharitableOrganization) about marine protected areas and Dr. Sylvia Earle's research. She was so inspired, she would skip the occasional class (with her teacher's permission) to join #missionblue Zoom calls to learn more. She's been studying to become a marine biologist ever since. 👍

Not concerned enough?

Give this one a try as well, from 2014 (7 years ago).

And the talk about this matter, from the 2009 year.

Just sharing to give something to reflect on about the speed of progress we as humans we're making.
What kind of world we're going to leave to our children? And the unborn ones?
Even I couldn't see much of the beauty of marine diversity, so what are they going to see?
