It's #FathersDay!
‘"Nursing Fathers": A Humorous Commentary,’ The Sphere, April 1927. It depicts good king penguin and seahorse dads. The seahorse fry are being eaten by a jellyfish, though. Not sure what's humorous about that, but it's nice that male parenting in nature was celebrated in 1927 - we could do with more of that today. 🌈🐧

📰 WILDLIFE WEDNESDAY
🌍 Mozambique: A community-led effort to stop devastating seahorse harvesting has been successful.
💰 The effort had to overcome a high economic motivation to pull and dry the regulated fish illegally for the black market. The rate of extraction was projected to eliminate all seahorses within a decade.
🤿 The solution involved creating an alternative: community-led, seahorse-focused ecotourism. Former extractors now take visitors on easy, low-impact snorkeling tours through seagrass.
💪 The community protects the seahorses now as central to their livelihood.

#Nuns & #NativeWomen from the #indigenous #Shinnecook tribe in #NewYork have started a #kelp #farm to help remove #carbon & #nitrogen / #nitrates #pollution from their #ocean waters.
After two years, there are #scallops, #clams, #SeaHorses, and other #MarineLife not seen in years, sheltering the kelp lines.
It's not just an #environmental success story, but of #friendship, #allyship, & support as well. 💪
