"The island girl finding her way"
Today's blog is by Jhenelle Williams @j.a.willi
Jhen's interest lies in exploring and understanding the environment, particularly the marine environment. From an ocean engineering background, designing and building offshore renewable systems Jhen transitioned to a more investigative role. She is focused on utilizing nuclear techniques to understand the marine and atmospheric environment in order to play a positive role in meeting the outlined targets under the sustainable development goals. #exploration #education #conservation #islandgirl #STEM

My blog "Protecting the blue gold" for @peopleofthewater is now live.
It's about, why @cristinazenato and I are working to protect this hidden gem, this ecosystem that’s so fragile, and can be so easily destroyed.

We are a small nonprofit trying to expand our work

We are a small nonprofit trying to expand our work in #exploration #education and #conservation of our underwater world with a focus on sharks and caves. It would feel that sharks and caves have very little in common but thank you to the work of our founder @cristinazenato we now know how each one depends on the other.
We are extremely thankful to @animal.stone for their support. They donate a portion from the sale of Bahama the Shark and Ohana the Mermaid to our organization and help us continue our work during these troubled times.

Ten years ago I traveled to learn more about shark diving from @cristinazenato . That experience helped inspire me to start sharing my knowledge and experiences of shark diving with others. I am excited to connect with my mentor tomorrow night for her first webinar in the Middle East. To join sign up using the link in my bio.

May 5th is world #GivingTuesdayNow day.
We have been able to continue our work in #exploration of our cave systems to promote their #conservation.
Please consider help our work with a donation, no matter the amount every little bit helps us continue our work.
We are currently focusing on the exploration and identification of underwater, underground systems in The Bahamas to support their conservation to protect fresh water supply, the mangroves areas and expand into shark conservation. @shelbyreefsavessharks @animal.stone @cristinazenato @kewinlorenzen

As somewhat typical at this time of year our pine

As somewhat typical at this time of year our pine tree forest has started to burn. It is usually a low crawling fire, necessary after the dry season and prior to the rainy season to create natural fertilizer for the rejuvenation of the entire eco-system. This year, however, there are huge concerns over the fires, their possible size and strength and consequences for the entire island. The island is dry, extremely dry, the pine trees are for the most part dead, after drowning for over thirty hours under up to thirty feet of salt water, huge piles of debris, knocked down trees, debris, humane possessions washed everywhere by the flood will burn with a power never experienced before and while hopefully clear out some areas create additional risks. The fumes from these fires won’t be all of organic matter, they will be mixed with the fumes created by the human objects burning everywhere, the dust and ashes will mix with the rain and infiltrate the below ground fresh water areas. These are the times when monitoring our fresh water supplies and caves will be very important. These are times to learn how in general discarding garbage in the wild will return to us in different forms. We are working hard to educate on the subject in cooperation with the Bahamas National Trust. #exploration #education #conservation

Connecting the underwater world and its creatures

Connecting the underwater world and its creatures with the surface sharing beauty and misery allows to further the #conservation of these precious areas.
