Last week our Science Director, Joe Gaydos, shared a message of compassion and hope during this time of social distancing. It can be difficult to think about anything right now aside from the pandemic that has is staying in place for the foreseeable future. In Joe’s message, he suggested the ocean as a place to send your mind in search of natural beauty and inspiration.
While we are rightly currently focused on this human crisis, the ocean–the place that covers 71% of the earth’s surface, contains 97% of the earth’s water and drives the water cycle–is still producing our drinking water, providing more than 50% of the oxygen we breath, and supporting the fish, shellfish and kelp that feed us.
We want to know: What are you thinking about to maintain hope during these times? What do you do each day that others might find inspiring or comforting? Submit below and we’ll compile them in our next newsletter. Stay safe!
