In case you haven’t been following along my stories... I’m in Ireland this week! Even had sunny blue skies today! Looks so inviting to jump in that water! Except it’s 45 out, 20mph wind and the water is 49! - #leica 240 + 35 2 - @pacsafeofficial #pacsafeofficial @solvesunglasses #solvesunglasses @sunbum #sunbum @olukai #olukaisandals @rvca #rvcaloha

A hatchling loggerhead sea turtle bravely ventures outside the sargassum seaweed patches in the Gulf Stream. These patches of sargassum provide a complete nursery to grow up for baby sea turtles. Unfortunately they also are home to all the plastics that end up in the ocean that these little guys think is food. Please try to reconsider your single usage plastics! #oceanminded - @pacsafeofficial #pacsafeofficial @solvesunglasses #solvesunglasses @sunbum #sunbum @olukai #olukaisandals @rvca #rvcaloha

Just under 2 months away from visiting the world’s densest leatherback nesting colony in Trinidad with @oceanic.society ! Together we’ll be heading to the main nesting beaches to look for nesting and hatching turtles at the peak of the season. We’ll also be meeting with local conservationists and fishermen to learn about their work and to explore conservation challenges and solutions. This is the third of five expeditions that Oceanic Society is leading to explore important ocean areas and conservation issues as they celebrate their 50th anniversary as America’s oldest non-profit dedicated to ocean conservation. Want to join? There are still a few spots left! For details see https://5x50.oceanicsociety.org and stay tuned for more. We’ll also be posting live throughout the expedition, and you can follow along with #os50trinidad. #os50 #trinidad #leatherback #turtle #seaturtle #expedition #travel #adventure #oceanicsociety
