PLANTED JOURNAL 🐙
@worldrise_onlus co-founders, Mariasole Bianco and Virginia Tardella, have been featured on Planted Journal, an online magazine that bridges the gap between man and nature through art and romance.
The interview, accompanied by a photo shoot by Giovanni Santarelli, is the occasion to dive deep into the history of Worldrise, from its foundation to the last initiatives, with a focus on “artivism”, the idea of using art to spread awareness about the ocean and its problems.

CLEANUPS 🗑️
Why do @trashheroworld do cleanups? 🤔
It is about so much more than removing plastic pollution from the environment. Here are a few reasons why cleanups are crucial in creating a plastic-free world.
🤝They get people involved
Cleanups bring people together in a fun and energising way. A group of people come together to take action in working towards a common goal.
🗣️ They start a conversation
Where does the trash come from? Where does it go? These are all questions we encourage volunteers at cleanups to have. By asking these questions, you start to think about the most effective ways to reduce plastic pollution.
💛 They help build a community
Regular action helps to create strong relationships. Businesses, schools, local leaders and volunteers are united in reducing plastic and protecting their communities.

SAVE THE MED 🌊
Students have categorised over 350.000 plastic objects with @savethemedfoundation

In 2022 alone, 83,453 objects were removed by nearly 1700 students.

NURSE 🦈
@olirileyphotography capturing the action up-close in The Bahamas 🇧🇸
Nurse sharks are found in the warm, shallow waters of the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific oceans. They are abundant throughout their range and have no special conservation status, although the closeness of their habit to human activities is putting pressure on the species.

SEAFOREST 🌳
The seaforest is a deeply cryptic environment. There are animals many of us don’t even know exist.
This giant clingfish is using her suction pad to cling to a kelp stipe in very turbulent water. These suctions pads can hold hundreds of times the animal's body weight. Here she is laying a large mass of eggs in the kelp leaves.

CORAL REPLANTING 🪸
Transplanting has begun! 05June 2022 marks a milestone for the @oceanswithoutborders Mnemba Island team of Community & Conservation rangers.
This is when they transplanted the first coral colonies grown in their flourishing coral nursery onto degraded sections of the local house reef.
As part of this restorative phase, they are also testing and monitoring the effectiveness of coral clips used to secure the introduced corals. To ensure biodiversity and genetic integrity, clusters of 4 - 5 pieces will be transplanted together onto different reef sections. The goal is to out-plant 100 corals a week!

REEF MANTA RAYS 🐠
The Maldives is home to the world’s largest population of reef manta rays. However recently, a significant population of their larger cousins; the oceanic manta rays have been uncovered. Worryingly, this area is in close proximity to one of the world’s main oceanic manta fisheries in neighbouring Sri Lanka. Tens of thousands are killed every year for their gill plates. 800 manta rays have been identified, however, there are still many unknowns and continued observations are needed to confirm the timing and drivers of their movements.
@yachtsforscience are looking for vessels in the Maldives to take Simon and his team April - May 2023 for 10 days. Interested? Please 📧 rosie@yachtsforscience.com
