“As... excessive heat and energy warms the ocean, the change in temperature leads to unparalleled cascading effects, including ice-melting, sea-level rise, marine heatwaves, and ocean acidification. These changes ultimately cause a lasting impact on marine biodiversity, and the lives and livelihoods of coastal communities.” -- UN Given the beauty and abundance of our oceans, learning about oceanic issues can be incredibly disheartening and difficult to younger children.

An Ecosystem and Its Inequities: The Bahamas Seagrass Meadow

1. Introduction The Bahamas are home to an expansive underwater seagrass meadow, consisting of 40.7% of recorded seagrass area in the world (Fu et al., 2023, p. 1). The meadow exists in a unique area in the Atlantic Basin that is prone to major storms, including tropical hurricanes (James et al., 2020, p. 301). It is found in clear, nutrient-poor tropical waters close to the equator (Fu et al., 2023, p. 2). The nutrient-poor environment causes species to adapt to highly sp

Roots of Reciprocity:A Reflection on Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

ontrary to the expectations of many in her scientific field, Kimmerer reveals that sweetgrass flourishes when harvested. It benefits from a respectful relationship with humans. To me, this was one of the most hopeful takeaways: that healing the planet doesn’t mean removing ourselves from it. In fact, it might mean leaning in, tending, and participating in the care of land with respect and reciprocity.
