A piece at a time

Being environmentalist often times I come across people and after long conversations we end up at this... "What if" moment.
Just as an example it could be
  • What if I don't drive my car every time it's further than 100 meters/yards
  • What if I look at the labels and don't buy endangered species fish
  • What if I pick up that wrapper I see in the street?

And there are many more of those questions. Now for me the big step is that if all the thousands of people who ask exactly those questions would actually stop asking them and just stepped up and did what they are thinking about we were one step further already!

So here is the idea: What if we all made an attempt and at least one time a day we actually did what everyone is talking about? Go ahead, pick up that piece of garbage before it ends up in the ocean.
Pick your bike for that errand, that is only a few meters away, have a closer look at the label and maybe check back if that is really what you want to buy.

It is small things that make a difference if followed by a lot of people!

Join in, make a difference with us - A piece at a Time!

And just as a motivational starter: Feel free to share your little moments of victory on Facebook, flickr, twitter, Instagram and whatever else there is out there and mark them so we can all see that YOU stopped talking and started acting! #APieceAtATime

Invasive Species - What does it mean?

What exactly are invasive species? An invasive species basically describes a species (for the time being it really doesn't matter if we are talking about a plant or an animal) that appears in a geographic location where it usually did not appear. But: To qualify as "invasive" the species also has to have a negative effect on the local environment. --> IF a species is freshly appearing in a new location but does not cause any negative effects in that location it is considered an "introduced species" For a lot more detail on what exactly an invasive and/or introduced species is make sure to check back on the video below!

Getting Ready again

Sea Nomad at Anchor in Boulder Bay With the End of the Season right in front of us there is one last showdown coming out here on Boulder Island in the Mergui Archipelago. The Owner of "Boulder Bay Eco Resort" along aith 30 friends and employees is coming out here for 4 days and a big meeting amongst all the higher ranks of his endeavour. For us (Project Manaia) this could be the time when things are decided for the next Seasons to come. With bureaucracy in Myanmar being rather painful and difficult to deal with (and more expensive than most other places in the world) it is somewhat questionable if Sea Nomad will be able to sail Myanmar waters again any time soon. Also because our 2 year Permit for Mergui will be expired by the beginning of the next Season. We are already looking into Projects in the Philippines to Pursue ones Sea Nomad had her earned Rest back in Phuket and another little makeover befor heading past Sinagpore and on to the Philippines. Reef Restauration would...

INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AT SEA

With Many Marine Biologists out there driven by the passion  for the Ocean, dedication and Inspiration we want to try a new approach of Research at Sea. While Research Ships are hard to get a hold of and expensive to run we offer a platform on a budget! The Idea is simple: The big problem for most projects is the funding. With the simple Idea of making the Oceans a healthier place and research affordable (and possibly even sustain ones living while doing it), we run our constant Pa treon Page via which everyone can support us.  Those donations should keep the boat going (at some stage) and the crew fed. This way we can offer spots for researchers on a shoestring budget or even free - depending on your funding situation - we are obviously happy to help you set up a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for a project as well - just send us a proposal and get in touch to have a chat about it. For everyone else who wants to get involve...
