🐳🐠🌊The ocean covers over 70% of the planet. It connects, sustains, and supports us all — but its health is at a tipping point.

Meet some #HomewardBound alumnae and participants who are doing important work to protect our oceans.

“Overfishing & bycatch threatens the survival of seabirds & this is among the reasons for steep seabird population declines.”
Dr Dell'Ariccia manages a regional monitoring & research program for seabirds which informs management actions and conservation policies.

Dr Gaia Dell’Ariccia from #TeamHB2 is a seabird scientist at @AklCouncil. She says seabirds forage at sea & breed on land, sustaining the cycle of nutrients from ocean to land. They are the most threatened group of birds.

Fascinating: Milan will reopen its streets by turning them over to bikes and pedestrians,not cars
Deputy mayor: “Of course, we want to reopen the economy, but we think we should do it on a different basis from before."

HB alumnae, climate change expert and environmental scientist @shine_tara has recently launched her new book 'How to Save Your Planet One Object at a Time'. This is the perfect guide to making smarter choices about everyday objects, tasks and habits. https://t.co/3sbx562NM0

Abundant tweets suggesting researchers without children should be super productive is hugely damaging to many PhD students. Many feel like they are failing for not overachieving, ashamed and embarrass to seek support, worsening the huge mental health issues among PhD students

Happy Women and Girls in Science Day!

Are there any women and/or girls in your life who inspire #ConservationOptimism?

Share your stories!

Excited to be featured as one of the #WomenInScience working for the #conservation of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park to celebrate #InternationalWomenInScienceDay. Look how many awesome women work to protect the Gulf islands and #seabirds!

[Department of Conservation @docgovtnz]

The celebration continues!

Today, we turn our focus to the scientists who help protect the gulf islands as well as the seabird species that connect these terrestrial systems to the sea. #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsInScience

Ever been curious about what it's like to be a seabird biologist working on islands? Here's what I get up to during the field season! https://t.co/ZLXaS0S8g3

”People are suffering, people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth.” Watch Greta Thunberg speak at the UN Monday morning. https://t.co/Akkxm9sXdr

I honestly don’t understand why adults would choose to spend their time mocking and threatening teenagers and children for promoting science, when they could do something good instead. I guess they must simply feel so threatened by us. ->

Wildlife-selfies under scrutiny. Great output from the #IPC10 panel discussion.

To tackle the climate emgcy the main problem is LACK OF POLITICAL WILL. To tackle that we must vote and inspire to rise awareness. Great talk by @PengChiara, also very fine sense of humour. #IPC10

[International Penguin Conference @IPC_penguins]

Interesting panel about human interactions with wildlife and the use of photography/social media. What are the social norms? What do we want them to be? #IPC10

[International Penguin Conference @IPC_penguins]

Who can relate? #ipc10

[Nikki B @OceaNikk_1]

There are stickers around the building calling for a fossil free world. I'm very in favour of reducing societal reliance on fossil fuels, but let's keep the fossils. We are learning so much from New Zealand fossil penguins this morning at #IPC10 https://t.co/Cp7Balj7QK
