U tijeku ovog tjedna obilježava se Svjetski dan oceana i donosimo vam sadržaje u koje možete uključiti svoju dječicu i učenike. O čemu se radi?

Na linku možete pogledati događaje u učionici Svjetskog tjedna oceana Kluba istraživača!
Okupila se uzbudljiva posada istraživača oceana, istraživača i zaštitnika prirode kako bi poveli djecu i učenike do krajnjih morskih granica
i istraživačkih izazova.
Mi smo se pridružili ekipi kako bi učili od onih koji su na prvoj crti istraživanja, dokumentiranja, razumijevanja i zaštite našeg oceana.
Živimo na plavom planetu, dođite ga i vi istražiti zajedno s nama!

Što smo sve radili i što ćemo još raditi:
– natjecanje u crtanju hobotnice u partnerstvu s Octonationom
– Richard Garriott de Cayeux | Putujemo do dna oceana
– Peter Girguis | Istražujemo morska stvorenja
– Live From EV Nautilus | Mapiramo 
– 5 Deeps | Pridružujemo se ekspediciji
– Callie Veelenturf | Čuvamo morske kornjače
– Pablo Borboroglu | Upoznajemo društvo zabavnih pingvina
– Chelsea Bennice | Istražujemo što se događa u vrtu jedne hobotnice
– Fabien Cousteau | A New Era of Ocean Exploration
– Pier Nirandara / podvodna fotografija
– Ripleys Aquarium of Canada | Ronimo po opasnim lagunama
– Dr. Pamela Fletcher – promatramo morske kornjačice na njihovom putu

Benjamin Jones | Seagrass

June 9th @ 9:00am eastern

Join Ben as he takes us into the incredible world of seagrass! He cofounded the marine conservation charity Project Seagrass after realizing that seagrasses were frequently ignored in the world of marine conservation. This global organization aims to conserve seagrass ecosystems through education, influence, research, and action. Ben focuses on working to enhance understanding of the importance of seagrass using creative design to communicate scientific research to the wider public. Previously he focused on examining factors that affect seagrass growth and using of Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) systems to assess fish in the Indian Ocean, was a scientific advisor in the development of BBC’s landmark series Blue Planet II and since 2015, he has primarily focused on how seagrass meadows provide food security and poverty alleviation, mainly across the tropics.

Cheryl Doughty | Mangroves

June 9th @ 10:00am eastern

Join Cheryl as she takes us into the incredible world of mangroves! She’s a postdoctoral researcher studying how blue carbon ecosystems like mangroves and salt marshes are responding to climate change. Cheryl combines information about plants on the ground with imagery collected from drones, planes, and satellites (remote sensing) as she seeks answers to how and why mangrove ecosystems are changing across scales, from individual plants to landscapes across the world. She is currently a NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) Fellow at the Goddard Space Flight Center working with Dr. Lola Fatoyinbo and mapping where tropical mangroves meet temperate salt marshes in order to uncover changes in mangrove habitat, structure, and carbon storage in coastal ecosystems.

Josie Iselin | Kelp

June 9th @ 11:00am eastern

Join Josie as she takes us on an adventure as an artist exploring the world of the seaweeds and kelps. She walks the beach a lot, brings seaweed and kelp specimens back into her studio and has learned how important these beautiful plants of the ocean are, and how much they can teach us about their ocean world.

Josie is the author of numerous books combining the art and science of our oceans. Her newest book, The Curious World of Seaweed, was released August, 2019. She holds a BA in Visual and Environmental Studies from Harvard and an MFA from San Francisco State University. Her writing and art focused on seaweed, kelp, and sea otter put her on the forefront of ocean activism, collaborating with scientists and groups working to preserve the kelp forests of our Pacific Coast. Through art, design and research, she celebrates the marine flora and brings thoughtfulness and stewardship to this realm of our oceans. You can often find her on various coasts at low tide exploring tide pools and investigating the intertidal realm.

Andrea Marshall | Protecting Manta Rays

June 10th @ 11:00am eastern

Andrea was the first to complete a PhD on manta rays. She stayed on in Mozambique to spearhead the conservation efforts of these animals along this remote coastline. During this time she co-founded the Marine Megafauna Foundation, an organization dedicated to saving our ocean giants from extinction. As a conservation biologist and principal researcher at MMF, her team focuses predominately on questions related to the effective management and conservation of threatened marine animals. Andrea campaigns globally for the protection of marine giants from whale sharks to manta rays, using her scientific background to formulate plans for their management. Aside from dramatically increasing the level of knowledge on manta rays themselves, Andrea’s discovery of a new giant species of manta ray in 2009 was one of the largest new species to have been described in the last few decades.
