WOW! @HarringtonMarie, you are flippin' awesome! 🐳

Thank you so much for your support and fundraising efforts, we couldn't do this without supporters like you!

So, I wrote and self-published an educational kids book called Salvador the Sea Lion. The aim is to raise awareness about human influences on the marine environment and to raise money for @Seal_Sanctuary

The world may have advanced digitally but human psychology hasn’t really changed. Customers don’t care about your story, they care about their own. It’s time to get back to basics. Here's our latest musings on the current state of mid-pandemic marketing.

So shocked at how much crap was collected from Eastern Beach. It took no time at all to fill a black sack with about 6-7kg of trash. So much plastic, drink cans and cartons, remnants of take-aways, discarded face masks, wipes and carrier bags. We are a plague. It’s heartbreaking.

[OurPreciousOcean @OurPreciousOce1]

The results of today’s beach clean on Gibraltar’s Eastern Beach. I may be smiling but I wasn’t happy at all. So much crap, in particular plastic. I fed the fish with the plastic recycling afterwards. We have to do better than this Gibraltar!

The world's wetlands are some of the most productive habitats on earth. They provide vital ecosystem goods and services that benefit humanity but we are losing these critical areas at an alarming rate. We must do more to preserve our precious wetlands

Spectacular viewing of Great Northern Gannets diving for fish around the eastern side of the Rock today. Beautiful to be able to observe these birds feeding around our coastline.

@shaunoboyle I’m a freelance writer and content creator. I founded Our Precious Ocean to use storytelling & creative content to increase awareness & inspire change. I blog for the World Cetacean Alliance, produce videos and interactive calendars and write books for kids about marine mammals💙

Accept the things you cannot change or change the things you cannot accept? Take part in the #SmallRipples January Challenge. It’s fun, educational and inspiring. Do it with your family and help to raise awareness of the importance of ocean conservation.

From small ripples come big waves. If enough people made a few tiny changes then it would make a huge difference to the health of our oceans. Download this interactive calendar and take part in the Our Precious Ocean #SmallRipples January Challenge 💙

I’ve been working on my debut children’s book Salvador the Sea Lion. I’m delighted with the illustrations produced by Jackie Evans @JacsStudio She has executed my vision perfectly and brought Salvador to life. Coming to a shelf near you soon!

Great to have the Minister for Education & Environment @cortes_john visit us today @Uni_Gib. Fantastic that he was so interested in our sea urchin sampling at Sandy Bay. His unrelenting passion for marine life and conservation is inspiring #MSc #marinescience #Gib #ingoodhands

[OurPreciousOcean @OurPreciousOce1]

There are many other sanctuary projects ongoing thanks to the wonderful work of these and other amazing charities and their supporters. This is hopefully the beginning of the end of whale and dolphin entertainment shows. We’ve got a feeling it’s going to be a whaley good week!🐳
