African Penguins also known as Jackass penguins, found along the Namibian and South African coast, are listed as endangered in the IUCN red list. They are expected to be extinct in the wild in 15 years, unless the decline in numbers can be halted.

I'm looking for a science illustrator who can draw powerful conceptual diagrams that can tell the story of ocean science concepts to a non-specialist audience. Any suggestions?

In light of all the revelations concerning dubious (if not fraudulent and illegal) practices by #Recon drilling operations in the Okavango region a clarifying statement by minister @TomAlweendo and the government is overdue. Be transparent and accountable and don't remain silent!

We need to stop the mentality of "Out of sight out of mind." The problem does not go away!

[Ocean Conservation Namibia @OCNamibia]

The majority of our entanglements are believed to originate from vessels in Namibia. Oil rigs, fishing boats or cargo ships - it seems easier to toss rubbish into the ocean than taking it back to shore, and many many marine animals suffer and die as a consequence.
