Story
hi there! for those who know me well, you know i can't stop talking about diving the minute it comes up. apologies to that one kind soul who had to sit through 30mins of me yapping away about how amazing diving is at a work networking event last week...
for my birthday this year, i am doing a dive in the great barrier reef. while i’ve been counting down impatiently to this trip the last couple of months, i have also heard from multiple sources that i'm wasting my time and there are other more beautiful reefs out there that have yet to be infected by coral bleaching. based on an article on the straits times, the great barrier reef is suffering from its 7th bleaching episode since 1998. loss of the coral reef habitat can result in extinction of marine species and disrupt fisheries, while reef degradation means that shorelines have less of a buffer against waves and storms. while i'm still brimming with excitement about seeing one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, i can't help but feel a sense of sinking dread too.
however, it's not lost on me that there's tons of good work out there that's being done! the australian marine conservation society (amcs) aims to protect critical ocean ecosystems with marine conserves around the nation. it doesn't take a genius to figure out that our oceans are not in good shape. severe overfishing, climate change, oil spills, are just a few threat actors that are slowly sucking the life out of ocean. amcs, the voice for australia's oceans, drives a few campaigns that does amazing work. one of the campaigns that speaks to me is 'fight for our reef".
'fight for our reef' calls on key decision-makers like political leaders and corporations to enact change and work for the protection and conservation of the great barrier reef. in the upcoming days, i will share a little bit more on coral bleaching, how 'fight for our reef' has been leading the good fight, some milestones, any literature i come across while researching and why there is still hope!
to make this birthday(month) even more meaningful and special than it already is, i am raising funds for this amazing cause & involving all of you too! it would be the best birthday gift if you could donate ur time/$ 🤍
