bullshit-bullsharks asked: I couldn't help but remember you did a dive at Malapascua Island in Cebu for pelagic threshers...I was wondering if it's hard to get PADI certified in order to do it there (I also know the same place offers lessons and training for PADI certification a week beforehand); and if you did the whale shark snorkeling as well? I'm going this summer and I'm so excited, it's just...

When writing to ________ in protest.
When you write to a website/restaurant/person in protest of something they are doing, try and put yourselves in their shoes - what would get through to them, considering they are getting bashed left, right and centre on something they are doing.
The answer isn’t swearing, emotional, hyperbolic language. That kind of rhetoric is not going to be taken seriously. It appears childish. Try not...

Shark burger coming to a fast food joint near you?
anoceanactivist:
A place called Island Burger in Brooklyn, New York has started selling shark burgers for $9.50 and it’s become so popular that other fast food places may attempt to sell their own shark burger!
Why not visit their Facebook page and give them a piece of your mind?
I just did!

lspisdabomb asked: I love marine biology, and there is nothing I want more than to become a biologist. But I'm really scared I'm not smart enough, or that I won't be able to accomplish what I want to. Im only a junior in high school, so I still have a ways to go, but do you have any advice for young, pre-college marine biologists?

I gather by what you have written that it was an energetic and inspiring place to be, but I was hoping if you could give me a little more insight please? I am currently...

Anonymous asked: Hi! I will be graduating from college soon and I am quite nervous about finding a job right out of school. I am interested in working in a communications department for fisheries conservation or something related. Do you have any suggestions for where to start searching??

For those of you with Smart phones
adorablespiders:
there is an app called Project Noah (its free) where you can upload images of wildlife you see in your area and can either post it with its identification or post it as unidentified so others using the app can identify it :) I just got the app and I’m totally obsess with it :D
you’re welcome
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again - amazing project. Well...

Calling all divers...
All you divers out there - if you were to rock up at a dive shop and wanted to learn more about marine biology - what kinds of things would you want to see in a marine biology course they offered?

hollymaia asked: Hey! Thanks for taking the time to answer that! I've been interested with turtles once my friend introduced me to his research with Earth Watch, and I admit that I would love to one day study and help protect them myself. That's a huge fear for me, because right now I'm taking a human services course, but I don't feel like I'm learning anything. I feel like I have a hunger...

Imagine a world without MAAMB? (or free speech). I can’t.
