Supporting creativity in the #oceanconservation story. 
Many thanks to all the schools and early learning centres who participated.

Dr Joseph di Battista explains e-dna testing. A no Dr Joseph di Battista explains e-dna testing. A non- intrusive research technique collecting DNA from water samples. 
The colour wheel 'tree of life' graphic shows every species in the waters of Parsley Bay  whose DNA was in the water sample that day. 
The research shows endangered species such as the #whiteseahorse live in the bay.  They need better #marineprotection 
Blue World was proud to support Dr Battista's work in the 2022 #valerietayloroceanprize

2 grey nurse sharks were recorded at #southbondi/ 2 grey nurse sharks  were recorded at #southbondi/ McKenzies Point, 18 March 2023, part of the first ever #greynursesharkcensus 
It would be great to see the protection increased to include this  grey nurse shark habitat, as the shark is  critically endangered in NSW. Because everyone needs sanctuary!

We're excited to announce award-winning jazz vocal We're excited to announce award-winning jazz vocalist, Emma Pask as our first Blue World Ambassador. 

"I am a rough water swimmer and passionate about ocean conservation. The ocean is my favourite escape - where I head for adventure and exercise, and my place of calm. There is nothing quite like watching a beautiful blue groper pottering about in the submerged rocks or spotting a magnificent bull ray gliding over the sand. These experiences of marine wildlife are magical. But the ocean is crucial to us beyond its role as our blue playground: it also provides us with a lion share of oxygen and regulates our global climate. Literally we cannot live without the ocean. 
In my performing work, I love to share stories and use creativity to connect with people. I hope that with Blue World we can advocate and communicate complex marine issues using science, the arts and community action. Altogether, our small accumulative changes can secure a thriving sustainable ocean and a brighter future for us all, both in in our blue backyard and across the blue world." 
Looking forward to working with you in the future.
