Really grateful to attend the first day of @5Samls in the eastern cape today. One thing i'd definitely reckon everyone check out whether you're a fish fanatic or not is this video celebrating South Africa's 20 new Marine Protected areas! youtu.be/LI7Xx21ESoY via @YouTube

So why isn't it all over the media?

You won’t see our Christmas advert on TV this year, because it was banned. But we want to share Rang-tan’s story with you… 🎄 🐒
Will you help us share the story?

The results of a #5MinuteBeachClean near #LaChocolatera in #Ecuador. This whole beach is a site for nesting turtles.. I also met other locals doing the same! If we all spent 5 minutes doing this we’d have cleaner beaches in no time! #PlayasLimpias #2minutebeachclean #cleanbeaches – at Santa Elena, Ecuador
On board the mighty Snapper (the 🚤 ) again to sample #microplastics with @ThamesManta and @river_living . Here’s Tanya working her way through a 1mm sieve on the #Thames. #cleanerthames
Here's a short film i made for the @ThamesManta #citizenscience project.
Get your hands wet and volunteer! It's a great opportunity to try #microplastic sampling for yourself and understand what's in our rivers.
