🌊✨ Exciting News! ✨🌊 I am thrilled to share with you my incredible experience participating in the remote externship with Extern, in collaboration with The Nature Conservancy and National Geographic Society, focusing on marine conservation. Marine environments are the lifeblood of our planet, sustaining not only countless species but also providing essential resources for human livelihoods. However, the sustainability of our marine resources is increasingly under threat due to various human activities. Recognizing the urgency of this issue, I embarked on a journey to delve deep into the complexities of marine conservation and find solutions applicable to my local community. Throughout the externship, I had the privilege of learning from the foremost experts in marine conservation through engaging weekly webinars hosted Extern. These sessions provided invaluable insights into the diverse range of issues facing our oceans and the innovative approaches being undertaken globally to address them. One of the most enriching aspects of this experience was conducting my own research and informational interviews with local conservation organizations. By immersing myself in the unique marine ecosystem of my region, I gained a profound understanding of the specific challenges and opportunities for conservation efforts in my community. I utilized ArcGIS technology to create a captivating story map highlighting the conservation efforts in the Gazi community. By integrating geographical data with compelling narratives and visuals, the story map effectively communicated the importance of community-driven conservation initiatives and showcased the progress made in safeguarding marine ecosystems. One highlight of the externship was conducting a comprehensive landscape analysis to pinpoint areas where conservation efforts could be enhanced. By identifying these gaps, we were able to propose targeted strategies aimed at maximizing the effectiveness of marine conservation in our area. Furthermore, I honed my skills in written and visual storytelling, empowering me to effectively communicate the importance of marine conservation and inspire others to take action. Through compelling narratives and visuals, I shared stories of hope and resilience, illustrating how individual actions can contribute to the preservation of our precious marine ecosystems. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to have been part of this transformative experience, and I am excited to apply the knowledge and skills gained to drive positive change in my community and beyond. 🌊💙 #MarineConservation #ParagoneOne #Extern #TheNatureConservancy #NatGeo #Sustainability

We are getting ready to announce the second round of American Bird Conservancy Conservation and Justice Fellowships! I greatly appreciate the recent flurry of inquiries and interest - please do keep contacting me with questions. Applications open in early February and we will have a range of new projects focusing on either storytelling or community engagement. The former focus on early career individuals, with a stipend of $10,000. The latter focus on mid-career individuals, with a stipend of $20,000. Topics include neurodiversity, environmental education, Lost Birds and discovery narratives, Indigenous stewardship, and more. The new group will start in June and work part-time over a full year, but the expectations and scope of projects will remain similar (most 2022 fellows took about a year to complete their projects, not six months as we initially envisioned). Working with the 2022 fellows, their ABC hosts, partners, and with students over the past two years has changed how I view my own work as well as the role of fellowships. This experience helped crystallize for me the idea that this work is not about “saving” the earth. Rather, we are collectively serving the earth and supporting the ability of birds, trees, and wild places to save us. https://lnkd.in/etfwqN5p

Marine Ecologist | Associate Director, Reef Restoration | Innovator in Conservation & Habitat Restoration
🌊 Diving into 'Seascape Restoration': A Global Conversation 🌊 Seascape restoration is more than a term; it's a vision for a healthier ocean that supports vibrant marine life and sustainable human communities. But what does it look like in practice, and how can we amplify our efforts for large-scale impact? As we navigate the currents of coastal ecosystem recovery, the inclusion of diverse voices, especially from outside the familiar waters of the US and Australia and western science, is crucial. It's the collective wisdom that will foster resilient and thriving marine habitats worldwide. Alice Howie, a PhD researcher at Macquarie University and Conservation Information Coordinator with The Nature Conservancy, Australia, is spearheading research to demystify the term 'seascape restoration'. Her goal? To progress the field towards resilient coastal ecosystems teeming with life and offering substantial benefits for both nature and society. 🔍 As part of her mission, Alice is seeking to understand the breadth and variety of innovative seascape restoration projects taking root across the globe. 🤝 We're reaching out to the LinkedIn community for insights: If you're involved in marine, ocean, or coastal habitat restoration, your perspective is invaluable. Take a brief moment to contribute to Alice's research and help shape the future of our oceans. 👉 Share your thoughts and insights: Participate in the Survey: https://lnkd.in/gMhNbBCT Together, let's chart a course for a more resilient and diverse seascapes! #SeascapeRestoration #MarineConservation #CoastalEcosystems #NatureBasedSolutions #CommunityEngagement #TNC #MarineBiology #OceanScience #Sustainability #Conservation #CallToAction
