Hi guys; we’re back in Isla Verde , where the constant growth of coral amazes me. As we’ve traveled to other destinations expecting bountiful returns of colorful coral, we find bleached and dying coral. Why ? Some places are damaged by man and it’s obvious while other sites are a mystery. Ocean temperatures have been constant for the 15 years we’ve been monitoring the oceans. Some places have blocked off the flow such as the Keys in Florida and warming has occurred beyond normal for years now. I’m hearing the great reefs of Australia are now bleaching beyond repair. I find believing the so called facts just to convenient . The Great Barrier reef is open to the southern Indian Ocean and exposed to a massive chemical dump along with massive plastic dumping and who knows what other unwanted debris swept under the waves. As far as we can tell the water temperature has been constant at tolerable levels but a natural level of bleaching isn’t what we see. We’re seeing a death across the reefs on a massive scale. Something only mans hand can effect , not nature.

On a scale of hidden truths we’d say this is one of the worst cover ups in world history. Blame it on the average human , cow farts, the green deal that we’ve ignored , on and on into the blame game and ignore the truth. We’re being polluted by chemical dumping and forever chemicals don’t go away. they just accumulate more and more until the reefs and humans choke on the shit that keeps products store fresh. please stop these crimes against humanity now. Our world is at stake.

We’ve gone to two sites showing stress in just the last couple weeks. The natural degradation has overtaken some of the reef as new coral springs up. It’s a process that combs the sea bed adding limestone to the oceans floor for a regrowth, maybe next season or ten years from now but coral is very resilient when given a chance to thrive. Think of it as a forest after a fire. Clears, cleans and leaves great nutrients for the next generation to use. It’s a natural cycle. It’s also easy to point out the manufactured damage as opposed to natural die off.

Most people don’t dive or look at what’s there in a scientific way. People just want to enjoy the cool of the water, feel the mist and trust there will always be living oceans to produce the oxygen needed to breath our air above the reefs. They want to fish and catch their limit. We would like to see their dreams come true but until we look deeper into the web of deceit and address the poisons frivolously dumped over the reefs, we are doomed. If the waters are too polluted for safe swimming how do the creatures that live there feel? We have no place to escape to and once we destroy our paradise it’s gone.

In most of our posts we allow for everyone to think for themselves. Ask the questions that come to mind. We also try to pack enough information to feed those brain cells with the questions. I know everyone reading these posts have empathy for the people and planet around them to follow through, to ask.

As with most crises now days the false denial always points to we the people. If only each and every one of us would have done something to help. That’s shifting the blame away from the factories and organized leaders taking the payoffs. It’s not your fault or responsibility but chasing your tail keeps you busy. let’s instead try sending a message of concern to our representatives explaining how drastic the problem has become. Just don’t believe the ” global Warming ” is the root of our problem. We’ve had enough of that lie, or the nicer term of ” misinformation ” that dismisses responsibility in such a flowery way.

As we swim the reefs here I can’t help thinking we’re protected by neutral government around the South China Sea. Today the reefs are vibrant, alive and producing the worlds fish in mass that no farming or hatcheries could ever match. It’s a marvel to watch the births of hatchlings or the puffs of coral spores during a full moon. It fills our hearts with hope, survival and even abundance. That we do address this very important issue is paramount to our lives and most of us don’t even know the importance of keeping our waters clean.

Unlike Australia where the Great Barrier is open to one of the worlds largest oceans, aided by deep water currents to keep cool. Between Indonesia and the Philippines is shallow waters running through thousands of islands. One thought is those shallow areas filter some of the forever chemicals along their flow helping protect the young schools and coral. We would like to examine some of our theories in more detail and plan to although our budget only allows for slow inspection and what we can see as proof with our monitoring systems. It’s rather antique but proven methods for the last few hundred years. Spreading the word is also grass root growth and we could use your help. please help spread the word. Let’s clean the gyres , enable more clean water to flow and live happy, healthy lives.

It’s 2023 , almost years end and we haven’t touched more than 3% if what we’ve learned this year. Some highlights.

We’ve gone to Mote Laboratories a few months ago . Located in Florida U S . Great people devoted to protecting the reefs in south east United States. The waters have warmed and it’s hard to keep coral thriving above 90f . They are growing Elk Horn coral and displacing it in safe areas along the Atlantic coast. Elk Horn coral is hardy and can withstand temperatures above what the corals here in the Philippines need. So much more information is on their site for those wanting more information.

We’ve experienced an oil spill along our coasts ranging from Palawan to Luzon , flowing between Mindoro and Luzon and surrounding inlets. 900,000 liters spilled before being contained . Little was heard about this disaster , maybe due to so many other world atrocities at the time. It will not be forgotten.

The ongoing push of World warming and pollution has met with unscientific claims yet the plastic and forever chemicals are still flowing into our oceans like a bad case of diarrhea . Going unchecked by any world health organization or green type system billed as our saviors. Seems the green is only dollars and the health is for the elites .

If we’re being pushed into WW 3 all this will fall into the blind eye zone , or are we being poked in our eyes just for fun. The cost is overwhelming to us all while the governments seem not to notice. We people are left with yet another cleanup job to keep us busy . Do we really throw all our plastic bags and wrappers into the wind? Do we fart too much ? Has the glimmer of smell , taste and the world dream of milk and honey so invaded our lives that we have to keep up with what’s new , no matter the cost? Soon we will coat the fish in Plastic to protect them from harmful chemicals , feed them steroids and only allow swimming on alternate days ? So, don’t fish with the bugs cuz we need to eat that protein . The trade off for electric cars is approximately 17 dollars per gallon of what would have been oil fuel. That doesn’t count the pollution of the batteries. And many listen to this insanity.

This trip to the reefs show many species are recovering and that’s a bonus , an epic boost to the reefs and nurseries throughout S. E. Asia and on to Australia . We expected to travel more this trip but health issues stomped on that right away. Within a few weeks we have hopes of visiting the reefs in the northern areas and will enlighten you all with pictures and news of life there . I hear good things about the cleanliness and desires to help nurse the reefs further into happy healthy habitat for new outcroppings of fish and coral. What we see is what you get. The truth is all I have to teach since I was taught to read and write. Defense becomes our best offence as we endeavor to persevere.

We could try explaining the devastation surrounding us all right now but we think you all know why, so just to survive is a plentiful fruition of humanity. I have faith in humankind and fully expect the time to come when life is happy and we all get along. There are a couple of amazing new items I’d enjoy sharing with you , so excited about and helpful for all . They may change the course of our lives. There is a water filter coming out , reusable and cheap . When governments are alerted to the potential of this filter everyone will have a cleaner healthier life. This will add to quality and longer life as well as eliminate harmful chemicals before they enter the main flow into our oceans. You’ll hear more about this fantastic device as time passes. The second is a resonance device to help with health, healing and negative outlook among other positive contributions in our daily lives. With all the negative signals bombarding us , along with harmful chemicals constantly thrust on us , we now have a scientific proven device to cleanse us inside and out. Pretty fantastic items for the future of life on our little blue marble. Just my opinion but I feel this is a life changer for us all.

There’s only one way we can travel and that is up. Into and on the red path as my forefathers would say. There is no tear it down and make us all suffer as that is the most negative thought pattern we could ever adapt. Make life a beautiful place for all . Provide what is needed for all and expand into the universe with our eyes open and heads held high .

We’ve made our way back to Batangas with an appreciation of the reef just steps away. I also grew a heart for the Florida Keys and the battle they have with keeping the coral alive there. We are gifted here in the bulls eye of reef and nursery growth . I could estimate 25% of the schools of fish world wide come from the naturally protected reefs between Australia and here in the Philippines.

First and foremost the new births impressed me immediately upon entering the water. schools of baby fish every direction I turned. All colorful species, blue, yellow , stripes, dots, tiger stripes, catfish, groupers, and many others like the ever present parrot and clown fish. We’ve been busy adjusting to the time change and opening the house, so batteries were dead that first dive. Next day rained and most of the schools were hiding under coral, but enough were curious and posed for me. Being overcast and suit clouding the water took some of the brilliance away yet I came away with a fulfilled feeling of peace and comfort. We will all survive.

After visiting the Mote Laboratories in Florida, seeing the effort those people are taking toward restoration of dying species, I would like to see something like that present here as well. We have a lot to offer the world and informing people of the importance these reefs. As the world seems to be going crazy the one place that remains constant is the coral reefs here. I’ve been monitoring temperatures, tide, acidic and alkaline stability among diseases that just naturally come and go like a common cold. What we’ve seen is no unnatural global warming, no rising ocean levels just a world that needs to be cleaned up and respected. Placing blame or creating a disaster for the sake of fear and money doesn’t make a man made disaster. If there was one we’d address it full force with every country in the world. We’d all be in trouble.

There doesn’t seem to be much damage done from the oil spill last year and that’s a blessing. The people here acted quickly , put up barriors to capture the oil , and keep the spill to a minimum. Thank you all, people of the Islands effected by that disaster. 900,000 liters of oil flowed into the straights between Palawan and Luzon averted by the people on site. Seems the media and Government had their hands full at that time.

OK , more to come later, more reefs to explore and we’ll be in touch.

All Love

This is our first post in 3 years, but far from our last. It’s been a rough road to follow and hidden damage becomes exposed again like calm after the storm.

When I first swam the reef this year what I noticed was a lack of nurseries, lack of plentiful reef fish or the aquatic life that encompasses those fragile schools. I immediately sounded the alarm to families living along the shore. Most knew what had been happening but had no knowledge of the why or how to combat the loss of life. Sound firmillar? It should because that’s the norm for our everyday life now. We are to blame for the misuse and destruction of our world and to eliminate us is the chosen fix. No science, no logical explanation, just put fault on the confused and concerned people starving for reason.

It’s been a hard road traveled and we’re getting older. No excuses can supplement the loss and now is not the time to quit. So in the time we have, for the next few weeks we’ll be examining as much reef and sea life within our grasp as we can. We will express the facts to you as honestly and scientifically as posiable then allow you to make a decision. Help or ignore the problems but you can’t unsee the train wreck that is in front of us right now.

In my first few dives I recognized the coral growth. Most years, because of Typhoon activity the coral takes a beating. Building back to display a beautiful, colorful new reef for schools of fish to hatch out, be protected and thrive. I saw that was close to normal for our reefs. What was missing was the schools of colorful fish that usually carpet the mesa and horn coral. What usually gives shelter is there then where are the hatchlings I enjoy so much? As in previous writings , I feel the pollution has a major impact on the eggs just as the song birds are fewer that years past. The chemical pollution is almost as bad as the plastic, we can’t see and ignore. Stopping the industry is like fighting a brick wall. What tools do we have, what unity or voice holds together in a myriad of misinformation and non science. Hold together , become a collective voice and stand strong. Else wise we fall, just like the powers that be have planned. Without our reefs and schools of fish the food is lessened and we starve. We have to protect the fragile birth of all species not just our human children. You see the attacks in every move these media people make. Make a choice now or regret it while you and yours are without.

This is a short post but we’re happy to be back. In the next couple weeks I hope to send out more positive news. We plan to visit as many reefs as possible and send as much information to you as we can.

Throughout the world the word for mother is similar, that’s for purpose as well as showing a nurturing from our mothers.

This post ends the collection of realities explained by our past posts in the lock down era. May we never see that oppression again, never forget and hold those responsible accountable. We’ve shown the neglect of leaders without concern for fellow man. Actually our world is dying because of man made problems like pollution and chemicals that are so destructive they will end life on our planet forever. We the people are being blamed for these manufactured attacks as if we just don’t care about the rest of the people. That’s the opposite of what’s going on but when their trying to kill and control life, nothing else matters.

Mother earth needs our help now more than ever before. Global warming , Green deals and attmosphereic manipulation are all wool over our eyes. blind us with false promises false science and word salad that confuses even the brightest minds. To top it off we introduce disease as an excuse to hold humanity in a prison setting.

Mother would never kill her child, cause harm to others or ignore the facts but if they can take motherhood and make it something else like corrupted man being called mother, well the soup is getting hot. Woman has been knocked off her throne. The king is expected to honor these few IT’S for the sake of riots against what was a loving , accepting society. And Then What ?

To change life we make choices for the better. What has presented as ” tear it all down” has nothing to replace the what worked fine with. Does that make sense? Throwing a fit is a childish prank done to see the limits a child can achieve, usually to their mother because she will passionatly scold while to through a fit to the unknown may end very badly for the child. How far are we , the common sense majority, going to bend to these tyranical few child like people doing the bidding of a corperate overlord? Sorry if that fact hurts those still hiding from the riots of Portland and Seattle. Let’s clean this up before we have nothing left to clean up. What was once a peaceful world is now devided and ready for conquer, just not by the Chinese or Russians, not even the people of the so called free world. You know as well as this writer the culprit is big Pharma run by the world bank and D.O.D. That’s not Dad or Mom.

Our next post is here and now, on the reefs again. It may be a shock to some but truth is a hard pill to swallow. Mom needs us more than ever right now. She’s stood by us , taught us and nurtured our needs. Let’s not believe the end is so near that trusting the enemy is our only option. Trust Mom. Our world.

In the beginning we were blended for the acknowledgment of our species. That we could help life throughout the universe and beyond. We have shown to follow is easier and comfortable if we just let that cycle control us. The migration pattern of the Hopi people and where they came out expresses the need to make choices for the whole, keep our minds open and follow instinct. When we get too comfortable we give away the unity of mind and spirit. We have this time to make our own cycle and that door will close again soon. Those controlling destiny must know this and want to continue oppressing the people, unlike any mother or leader we’ve ever encountered. Yes, it’s the end of the fourth world but we can make our own cycle, destiny is in our hands. Otherwise we forget and are condemned to follow the controlled life as slaves. Listen to these words and express them to others. Blend in harmony what octaves you are and the beauty will grow. Trust yourselves.

We can see water easily change from solid to liquid and vapor and that is enough to show our path along dimensional lines. We are 80% water and internally flow like the streams, creeks, rivers and into oceans that circulate throughout our world. We are that flow as well.

It has been said we influence water crystals by thought but could it be more internal as well? Yes I think so . After realizing how water crystals form after being influenced by positive or negative thought the conclusion can only show we effect everything in our lives. This is a profound statement for those wishing to just follow or be led. With all the mistruths most of us have lost our minds anyway. It’s very simple, just think positive. Use your thoughts to send loving feelings into all situations and those thoughts spread to others. Flow keeps thoughts balanced, negative thought is like a damn holding back that flow. Everything beyond or down stream has to change because of the lack of positive flow. If we are uncertain or angry our course develops blockages like ponds with scum and bad bacteria that sickens our flow.

Resonating harmony through water strengthens vibrations enabling frequencies to blend. This gathers and unifies people making a stronger thought pattern. Just expressing positive thought blends with other people. Negative thought is jagged and repels others, so it has to be repeated over and over to convince people it’s for the best. Sometimes what doesn’t taste good isn’t. Even things we can’t taste or see have been introduced into our world, not for the better but to make profit. In this modern world we have developed many toxic molecules unknown to their effects long term. These retard our decisions, damage our immune systems and sicken our flow. Not a good thing in any way, shape or growth.

PFAS is , Per- Polyfluoroalkyl substances or easily stated, forever chemicals. These man made molecules replace hydrogen in their bonds with fluorine, creating an almost unbreakable bond that lasts thousands of years. We now have these chemicals in everything including ourselves. This causes diseases such as cancer among many others. It replaces the hydrogen with an oil\ grease bond, ” fluorine” to the carbon that prevents breakdown for easy cleaning of carpet, clothing, paper dishes etc. What does it do to us ?

Other than melting clouds, as I was taught as a child, water crystals can be influenced by our children as mind expression and strength. There are many other exercises we ignore today that used to be fun before modern electricity. Now we’re in the big time, ha. I think if we knew the power we hold in our thoughts we’d accept different life styles. Some of what we learn today is just wasting positive thought for an acceptance of expectation. Some is a belief that fellow man wishes us all well and will to protect life above all else. Sorry to disillusion you. Buyer beware.

Thinking in terms of, Frequencies, Resonances, and Vibrations brings us to Harmony. Harmony is blending our positive thoughts with others, expanding like a chorus, and developing beauty to enjoy. Coming up with solutions where alone we couldn’t have imagined. There’s more to this frame of thought. There are harmonies that elevate our mental growth as well. Certain tones open neuronal pathways we overlook that bring love and patience, growth into our other dimensions such as 4th dimensional sight and mind. This allows seeing into mercurial places aura and etheric along with many other advances. The world will balance better once we’ve grown to invite this. As we grow toward this maturity we begin protecting self space as well. Many of the modern items we take for granted aren’t for our good but stagnate our natural growth, Who would want to do that to humanity? Now the fact that big business isn’t concerned with our health and happiness comes to light.

Watch yourself and be aware of what you put in your body. Use clean water always , at least as best you can. Flush out the toxins as best you can. Stop using manufactured goods and grow what vegies and fruits you and your family need. Grow extra for those unable to. Question things like carbon emissions and resetting the environment to fit the dictates of underqualified people. THINK.

Is water in other dimensions? The molecules vibrate forward and backward. We are in a negative vibrating universe. What is between solid here may be solid somewhere else, another dimension. Being said, everything is connected through dimensions. Nature places the two most abundant molecules Nitrogen and Hydrogen along with carbon to make almost everything. I assume fluid must be the basic atmosphere for most levels of dimension if not all. Water blends with water around the world. Water carries thought and holds memory. This is how we send and receive intuition, love, grace, and will continue to thrive. Drink to our survival.

All Love Love All

Man’s will has followed ritual dictates through religious demands. In some places the noncompliance to follow leads to ostracization, expulsion from social standing and eventually humility. The hidden truths won’t prove right or wrong but usually gives unity of good people to gather and ponder spiritual thoughts. This in itself is a grateful feeling of being a part of something more than just self.

The deeper offering of family dominance entices men to follow without question. Men are top of the heap in that respect. Woman is just second best, always subservient to man’s will. Above man is a priest spouting a god’s words of obedience, telling us we are of sin and will forever work toward a better self, just out of reach. Personal aggrandizement, self motives, and a loss of direction through following dictates of powerful policy, weather political or religious always leads to barbaric warfare. We as a race of humans have been caught in that cycle for thousands of years, believing what we are told must be the truth or the threat of humility for not.

Oracles, savants and profits in their recordings show us one thing. The cycle doesn’t improve our spiritual growth. Reincarnation goes forward and backward like a ping pong ball. Without focus we have no path to follow . In one life you’re a great person and the next you’re stealing just to survive. In that respect it’s hit and miss but mostly miss with a lot of pain. It’s also been said there are six levels of life on this planet. Two lower are hell, the mid realms are easier and the two upper are positive places for growth. The problem is we’re always in the lower and mid levels, never to advance to the place we could grow from. The belief of harmony, octaves, and the unity between spirits ends following the slave cycle and habit brings that along from life to life. This is unrecognizable, and suppressed by all those religions that thrive on humankind. You don’t need to ask why.

Think for yourselves. Start a new cycle of peace, love, truth and honesty, then let that spread through your personal vibration to those you love. On and on it will grow to elevate our world, unite people in these troubling times. Believe in yourself, it certainly can’t hurt. At present we the people are being blamed for everything going wrong. We’ve polluted the world, hated our brothers, been lazy and suppressed the female to extinction. Man wants to be woman and woman is ashamed to be female. Nobody can make a clear decision. In our waking up to the truth we all want aluminum hats. It’s all boulderdash, poppycox and the like. Hiding our heads in the sand won’t make anything better.

My personal retreat is under the waves. When I’m visiting the fish and coral I get a calm feeling of security. The baby schools hiding between the fingers of coral are amazing. Swimming in harmony like a dance that involves everyone. Finding protection before they learn to chance a life in the open world. Learning confidence and trusting those swimming along with them . Even under the waves we can’t escape the plastic, then when we pop our heads up for a breath there’s more man made pollution above. These things can and should be attributed to a few greedy individuals pushing consumerism on the rest of humanity while shaking a finger saying we haven’t done enough. Truth is, most people try to do their best. Those that just don’t care will always be among us and always try to take what isn’t theirs. This brings us back to todays lesson of making your own choices. Make the best ones you can and do what you can because you might not have another chance.

Love all All Love

The title of this post is written in some of the oldest acknowledgments to life known. Found all over the world, some still holding this belief as the beginning of man’s consciousness.

In our attempt to give understanding through these posts , the next step brings us to evolution of man, us, in all our colorful expressions of life. Time passes , culture rises and fades like sun bleached murals worn out over eons. Our intricate and confusing rituals depict truthful cycles of interpretations of a supreme creative plan. This force of thought precedes human will as if it were biologically placed in our DNA. We need to know who and where we come from and why.

Who are we? Although evolution has been used to gloss over any question , giving control to a few academics, it just isn’t true. Proof shows many steps missing in our genes. Spliced DNA is the logical path to follow. When the facts eliminate what seems to be true, what is left has to become noted as possible. What would be the logical debate for opposition? Why control of every aspect of our lives of course. We are a hybrid, a work force, a vessel to contain a spirit in the 3rd dimension. What we will become is much more but don’t let that interfere with your ego, growth. We are a child that needs care, an explanation, guidance and patience. That child makes many messes.

Where we come from is still up for debate, but some logical answers and a few ancient scripts will help. Let’s say we began as spirit. Our spirit was without physical form . After eons of time our spirits began to fade just like the sun bleached murals. Look at it like this . Everything needs to eat, replenish it’s energy by absorbing energies around itself. If the molecule is spread thin in creating universes, it must regenerate by bringing in new molecules. If the life force of our spirit can’t hold ourselves together we become vulnerable to reabsorption. Get it , gone.

We not only need a solid body from time to time, but we need to advance mentally to hold that form. Like the octaves in the musical scales we harmonize together, helping other spirits become focused. Gravity holds us to this solar system and magnetism draws us together by the harmony of our spirit. Very cool to be a part of. This somewhat explains the where and why but there’s so much more to us than imagined.

Our cycle has been rough as best. Having to be punished for misdeeds like the child we are is part of a growth cycle as well. If you can realize the devastation of the Americas when Columbus arrived you can recount the fall of a great society in our seen past history. How people went back to hunter, gatherers from a culture of written language, metallurgy, agriculture and science. Now let’s imagine the entire world facing such a setback such as the great flood. WOW. One great time keeper states we are in the 4th cycle of this type devastation ( Hopi ). There are other religions to reflect this but I choose Hopi people, people of peace instead. All religion is a sour apple their trying to feed us.

There’s more to why than just our spirit needing physical form. What makes us so important? As other universes must loose entire races to world calamities, we have been gifted. That could only be for the preservation and growth of another. Like the octaves of the musical scales, it takes others to advance to the next step . We as newborns haven’t grasped this yet. Those that will to control the sandbox have closed many doors from the lazy , uncaring spirits that have been told ” just follow “. Knowledge is power and control. Thus the orgy must rage on. Damn the torpedoes and so on.

As we need another cycle to cleanse the world of tyrants we grow. Through the pain and lost memory. What holds our advancement is our habit from dimensional cycles . What we practice we remember. What becomes our nature, written in our resonance from cycle to cycle. It’s comfortable for us. Our spirit wants to advance not regress. That’s part of evolution, plane and simple. Saving grace. We’re at the carnival with so much to do and see, where do we start? Should we gorge ourselves on cotton candy, play the games or enjoy the rides? Just don’t over do it. Most is a distraction.

In past posts we’ve given exercises and acknowledgements to insights for your personal growth.

Huna breath , Etheric and Aura enhancements , Mental movement, Harmonizing and our 6th sense, among games to play with others wanting to grow instead of follow. It’s time to wake up to the true world around us. Truth is there.

Water is the flow of life. This site is dedicated to pure water and air and it’s becoming harder to achieve these pure molecules needed for proper growth here on Earth. As f0rever chemicals continue to seep into everything, so we are corrupted, mind and spirit. We have a feeling this is being thrust upon humanity to stop our mental advancement. A crime past humanity and into the other dimensions of spiritual energies. To dull and dam back the flow of spirit is a universal crime that should be addressed now.

We will be continuing with evolution of reflection of man (humanity) until we are free to visit our reefs and inspect the pollution levels left unchecked. Love All, All Love.

In the unfolding of Quantum timelines there is a flow of thought, picture and sound, like a movie that never ends. Simply described as Akashic records. My colorful description is it’s a Female collective of thought, like a switchboard for communication. A phone line between our subconscious and conscious brain connected to this flow of timeline. It stands to reason we should stay truthful and do our best because everything is recorded, even mistakes.

With the recognition of this truth we fall back to our scaled race of beings millions of years advanced from even our creators. Are they there in the records? With their technology , seeing the Quantum timeline and not being there would be a shock to say the least. Having to read, write and keep science honestly would be the only way to advance as a race . This must have been arduous. Passing down discoveries from generation to generation . Trusting where your ancestors came from, your history.

As infants in this universe, we are somewhat the same for now. Our brains haven’t grown together between Alpha and Beta and it looks like maturing could take some time. Very few people have touched on the recognition of these records or the circuit board available to 3rd dimensional humans in general. Probably a safeguard, in our maturing. Although it logically seems the advancement will come when we are ready.

Engineering of humanity wouldn’t have been left to trial and error, even if all that was wanted was a mule. The old adage ” treated like a rented mule” is a saying of abuse and callous lack of compassion for help in daily strife. Kill the golden goose, not any sane person would. History shows we’ve been a cycle of war, neglect and abuse from a cycle that’s not even our own. Many questions arise from this fact. Wouldn’t mechanical machines have been better? Why follow another’s cycle of pain and suffering? Who would place uninformed scientists to practice evolution while in the dark? The answer is, they had help from much better science to blend us into what we are destine to be. Our root parent ( goose killer) is not pleased but they want the golden eggs. There are other benefits for other beings held more precious than gold though. The cards will unfold as we ingest and decipher what history along the Akashic timeline shows .

Our world is 70% water. Without this abundant Hydrogen and oxygen Life would be thriving other places. Humanity might not have been given the chance to thrive, here or anywhere else. We should protect that delicate balance we have above all else. Without a thought most people live along water flows, from rivers to our oceans . We survive because of the gift of warm climate and solar protections keeping the balance. Our primary concern is to keep clean the waters of this earth along with enlightening people to preserving life on this tiny spinning planet . Gardeners need water to grow the crops, be it grain, green or us. All Love Love All.

It’s been a while since the shut down and we haven’t posted . Not allowed to refresh ourselves in the salt water , probably the best thing to kill any virus . Flip flop on every choice controlled by people without fact . PLEASE OPEN OUR WORLD.
The oceans are recieving more plastic and medical refuse than ever and no one even notices . We have been sickening ourselves and our world by listening to eliteists giving false narratives . Open your eyes and see how wrong this scenario has been .
I thought in the beginning a couple weeks stay at home would give the life on this planet a chance to recover but far from true . We are polluting more than ever . The debris gathers in our bays , along streets and in gutters to wash into our water ways . See the Dolphin wear the mask ? How cute .
The agenda of Atrazine and now a vaccine washes through our air and waterways everywhere . This effects all life on the planet . Did we ask for any of this ? We were warned against tweaking D N A in the old testament and the consequences , now the stew is cooking . We won’t know the outcome for up to two years after This experiment . Can’t wait ! No sexual gender , up to 70% sterile people . What about the other animals on this world ? Will the Atrazine effect their D N A as well ?
We are scheduled to return to the reefs in a couple weeks , hope they don’t shut the World down again within our fact finding mission . We will post and picture as much as we can within our one month expedition . My hopes are positive , we expect scientific findings to show a heart beat vibrant within the nursery ( coral reefs ) and beyond . We’ll tell as many schools and government officials as we can.
Our Shaman background is of helping the healing and health of our world . Bringing insights to darkened minds and adding prosperity throughout this planet . Love is at our core .

Today I entered at the pier , about one click west . This is where the reef ends or begins , other sporadic coral clusters dot along the coast as well . My intentions were to video while swimming home . I did that , capturing four segments , one being the oil spill that’s been there for three years now . The others show colorful reef and schools of fish but I was preoccupied by the massive jelly flow all around me . Concentrating on the jellies to avoid being stung while filming took most of my focus . The results were no turtles and little special shots along the way but we show great outcroppings of coral , sponge and fish .

Healthy coral grows faster than I read . Some Mesa and barrel coral have grown up to 8 cm over the year so a Mesa that is 3 meters across might take thirty years . My belief before measuring was 100 years for a 3 meter mesa , or 10 ft across . If we continue to clean and protect our nurseries there’s a great chance we can protect many species of fish as well as provide oxygen for our planet . It’s a step in the right direction , recreational and fun along the way . helping pick up plastic is a very important job on the beach , under the waves or off a sidewalk on your own street . No kidding , you’re all environmentalists . We’re not lost to the commercialization of plastic bags and bottles . We’re not doomed to offering a trashed world to the next generation . We can do this and should .

Somehow we’ve got to go out there on the gyre . Maybe next trip we can organize the sight seeing tour that should be done instead of believing other information given . I’ve heard about boats being stuck in plastic so thick you could walk on it , clogging propellers and reflecting sunlight from the white plastic that gathers within the still gyres . These areas are away from the currents , sit still and heat up but there’s more . The dead lives of sea creatures litter the gyres as well . This brings bugs , a stench that must reek of decaying flesh for miles and brings bottom feeders , scavengers to feast on whatever is entangled there .

The job of cleaning this kind of mass up must take an incredible kind of human . Someone that realizes the true outcome , cause and effect our world faces if it’s not addressed . My application of a barge with a paddlewheel collector , conveyor belts sending the plastic to huge compactors , making miles of blocks then tugboating it to a plant on land still seems to be the best idea so far . This work would take a crew gathering and sorting , Captain and devotion along with satellite tugs and land crew to use the captured plastics . If one barge set against the gyre the size of Texas it would take 50 to 100 years to make a dent . If 1000 barges worked together we could make a noticable chunk every year . The cost will be in the billions .

Is our world worth it ? Are our people worth saving along with the rest of the ocean life ? Much of the world survives off fishing and our oceans one way or the other . How urgent is this matter ? After all not many of us even think about it . We love to watch the sun set over the ocean , very calming but do we think about what floats just under that glistening sunset ? Are the other daily chores more important than what’s to come in just a short few years ? Call or write your representative please , just take a moment to let them know your concerns . Shout out to the world if you have more time , inform those that are out of this loop . No joke , no small matter . We’re dumping thousands of tons of plastic into our oceans every month . All around the world the trash industry is throwing , hiding the pollution they collect throughout cities straight into our oceans . My heart melts to think we have alternate options and don’t use them .

Our site is here for everyone to follow and learn from . Post what you know , discuss the applications at hand . Using our minds together we can find solutions , we can have the beautiful world we had just a few years ago .

Out on the reef today we spotted some colorful coral and fish along with a turtle munching on a bit of sponge . The winds were up and water was hazy but we got some pleasurable shots none the less . We’re looking for the Moray Eel , their elusive nature and the size of the reef makes for a challenge but we promise to keep looking , she’s worth the pic . Other illusive fish are the sharks that turn up from time to time . I think the water has been to cool as we’ve seen them on warm days . I’ve only gone out once at night and the sharks do like their night hunting , but no luck filming them yet .

We’ve been impressed by the lack of debris but the night fishing by boat continues . That’s something we’ll deal with before we have to depart . Not looking like we’re going to other reefs on this trip as we return to Cali at the end of the month . Sad truth is there’s only the pair of us to coordinate and plan for our obligations as well as monitor the reefs . As much as we enjoy doing it all there’s just so much time .

at least we got some great pics for you to review . Hope you like them all .

In the last storms we’ve experienced turbulence within the reef . Our barriers , floating canastors , have broken away from their moorings allowing fishemen to encroach over the coral . This has broken down some healthy coral and depleted many schools that are usually protected within the reef . In my last few trips out I’ve noticed a decline in schools , some as much as 50% . This is alarming to say the least .

Some of the species are , whitetip soldierfish , Snappers ( Lutjanus sp. ) , Yellowtail Fusiliers ( Caesio Teres ) , Sweetlips and Bumphead Parrotfish (Sphyraena Quenie ), Batfish ( Platax Boersii ) and Humpback Snappers (Lutjanus Gibbus ) to name a few . I’ve noticed the Striped Catfish ( Plotosus Lineatus) hiding between cracks in the giant coral mounds , still in schools . The yellow and blue reef fish have gone into hiding as well instead if gathering on top of the horned coral they usually frequent .

We’re approaching the local municipality to anchor new floatilla to keep fishing away from the reefs . This is for the fishermen as well as the local communities that rely on daily catches . If we don’t alert them of the dwindling populations there won’t be food on their plates either . We have yet to survey other reefs within our acapello but fear the same may be true . The ease of catching close to shore or within reefs is attractive , making a short day and bountiful catch for local fishermen .

Yesterday I noticed a new Moray Eel close to the house . She was hidden in her cave but came out to greet me . What a colorful species , healthy and dominant . Looking to be settling into her new home quite well . I was pleased to see her and hope the other morays become attracted to our reef as well . Small sharks were spotted as well , close to shore , dorsal fin only 5cm , standing straight and true . We’ve heard the mothers hang under the shipping boats stationed over the sand just west of the reef . I’m hoping this turns into a birthing area for the Nurse and White tip sharks as well . A Whale shark was spotted last week by someone sitting at the Lomi haus overlooking the reef . She was out just past the reef in 6 mtrs to 8 mtrs deep. It would have been a thrill to have swam with her . So there is an abundance of life in our ever changing reef system . The water is cooler this month and may be attracting the sharks .

My concern about the lack of nurseries will be monitored as we protect the reefs from illegal fishing . Even now we’ve noticed the boats are farther out away from the reefs and hope they realize their livelihood depends on the schools growing to adulthood .

Watching the creeks flow from the mountains , washing the plastic bags of all bright colors is hypnotizing . Seeing the bags catch up on roots or broken tree branches along the way , making a bundle of forever plastic half covered by dirt and mulch debris . A glimpse of children playing along the beach where no sand can be seen , only colorful plastic bags knee deep as they frolic amongst the waves bringing more plastic to enjoy . What’s wrong with that ? Our next generation will embrace this as normal , seen since their first trip to the ocean . Cresting waves bringing plastic with every lap along our shores . It’s the new normal as we trend toward consumerism , conglomerate monopolies that want us to see the sparkle of their products above all . One time use and we’re satisfied , not our concern after that . Just throw it in a heap and let someone else sort it out , or enjoy it forever as your own trophies , in your own neck of the woods . The bright colors attract so many living creatures , wow , it’s become an experiment to see what drops dead and what new bacteria grow from the beautiful heaps of color we so adore .

While the youth of this world has turned a blind eye , global warming and trying to stop the weather from naturally doing what it’s cycle dictates takes president over focus on the real problems . Who is really driving this buss ? Could the monopolies be involves somehow ? No , just a little girl reading what she’s been taught without research . Just media giving us another direction to look and blame laid on our doorstep . We the people are charged with ignoring the responsibilities of protecting our young , our world . We the people have damaged this world so bad we have to pay now , in taxes , in focus and lifestyle . All the time our coke and water is placed in safe plastic bottles for our safety , for preservation of the factories that buy and produce the plastic bags in single use form , for us . Yes , for US . There couldn’t possibly be an alternative ! There couldn’t be some other way of looking at the flow of garbage .

But wait , we have a second helping if you’ll just be patient ! Dial a janitor is coming . Yep , we’re all expecting the cleanup crew to step in just like our parents did when we threw our plate on the floor in a fit as children . How dare you not clean up after us !

Wake up people , there is no cleanup janitor , just you and me . Protest takes a massive effort and does little to change the facts . The flow isn’t going to stop until we demand globally enough is enough .

In all this ranting , exposing the real culprit is just a rant unless We the People do what should be done . Rivers are filthy , Oceans are contaminated and our health is failing daily . A slow death is favorable to that quick shot to the head , right ? NOT ! We don’t see the plastic bullets coming . If the pollution continues we’re all at the mercy of Plastic bottles and consuming the so called clean fresh taste of sugared drinks .

Join in a simple act of not throwing plastic to the ground when you’re through with that single use package .

Watch your own foot print become smaller by the day as you recognize the packaging offered to you . Turn away from the simple things that cost more than imagined when we buy that brightly colored case of single use product . It’s the only way our voice can be heard . Unite to help clean up the beaches and attributes to our oceans . Please be conscious of daily consumption .

We have posted a number of helpful applications on the FB site that needs to be transferred to this site . We have relied on word of mouth for new listeners here on the Gyre site . There’s a long way to go , we’re losing ground by the minute . If there’s anything you can mention our ears are open . We will post and continue showing positive ways to help Mother Earth recover along the way but we need unity and creative responses .

We thank you for listening and giving your time . Just bending down and picking up a couple scraps a day makes life a little brighter . Please enlighten others to the massive problem we all face .

We’ll start with some interesting tidbits of knowledge . 97 % of the worlds water is already in the oceans . The other 3% consists of ice , snow , lakes and rivers . How much rise in ocean tides can be achieved by the total melt of our ice and snow pack ? Possible 2 meters but that’s stretching it . Rain also has some weight in this matter but what hits land goes to our lakes and rivers as well as under ground . Captured for years and longer when flowing into lakes .

Here’s a good fact we haven’t faced yet but could be a reason for chronic pain , loss of cartilage and an assortment of ailments we address as common . Plastic in our bodies ! Yes you , me and everyone living today ingests approximately 5 grams weekly . Sound like a lot ? Does to me too . By eating fish , shrimp , crab , cow , bird , just about all animal life and drinking from plastic bottles , we ingest that much . I don’t want to get started on the vegetables sprayed with Atrazine but that’s for another post , look it up .

We aren’t given a choice about these poisons added to our diet . If you shop at a market , eat from a large farm produced for profit , most likely you’re filling the hungry belly with food that shortens your life . I’ve been posting for years about the harm of solid plastics we use and don’t need to . The plastic that chokes our ocean life , in return harming us . Whether you see it or not the time has come to open your eyes to what you know is true .

The climate protesters want action on that 3% of melting ice , claim a natural cycle can be stopped if we throw our world into chaos . I ask you all to look around and see what giving more control to those supporters , not the common people but the funding parties wanting to stir up confusion and have us chasing a natural event as their agenda is doing . If I can uncover the facts it can’t be that hidden . Plastic enters our oceans by the ton everyday . So much plastic that if we don’t stop it we’ll die of starvation just like the whales that die on our beaches every year . Just like the birds that can’t give birth and also die with a belly full of plastic , Yummm .

Greed has taken over as we’ve entered into the 21st century . Possibly by those people smelling the end is near , like a vulture circling the dying bodies . I remember hearing a priest say to my father , ” The end may be as close as your children feeling and seeing it “. I thought then what gangs would do if they thought that way , heard this man spout such lies . Now I see those in charge grasping for every penny to give their family a head start above anyone else based on this very same lie .

We are alive . We have choice , show love and like any good parent , roll our sleeves up and clean the messes without blame . A good scolding , maybe a spanking and being taken out of the game is needed for a while but we don’t give up. Without this enduring spirit we’d all be lost . No matter what nationality , color , religious beliefs we have , from start to finish I stand along side the people of this planet . We’ve offered solutions , applications from cleanup efforts to alternative plastic products . It’s not easy standing up to huge business using plastic to sparkle their products , catching our eyes but please realize what damage is caused by single use plastic or just plastic in any form anymore .

Natural events and cycles happen and can’t be stopped . Like the tide or lightening , could we stop them ? Those things man has done can be controlled and by being responsible we can and will control our fate . Just remember every little bit helps , every conscious effort steers or destination toward a beautiful world again . Love All , All Love

Ending the year with a bang .

We’ve been gone for over 6 months and everything out on the reef has changed . Most importantly it’s as healthy as always , growing at a fast pace and colors bright . Fish in abundance , schools of all kinds proliferating all over . Missed some pics the first couple dives and though we can’t get them back , more are on the way I’m sure . We did gather new growth and overviews so far . That’s going to have to do for a couple days as a Typhoon is on the way .

Plastic garbage has dropped to almost nothing . Yay for that progress ! People are learning quickly how important our reefs are , how fish sanctuaries are detrimental to our lives as well as maintaining a healthy coral forest . What washes down the tributaries still poses a major problem and will for years to come , needing attention now . I’ve noticed jetties angled upstream on either side of the river collects a majority of plastic and is easy to reclaim . Here in our Barangay ( township ) , we’ve begun levies along the river and a dam upstream that will stop debris from entering the ocean . Another major move to help the cleanup . Salamat Po to insights of Lobo . Thank you very much .

Looks like we’ll be hunkered down at home until the storm passes but we have plans to visit new reefs and locations within the Philippines this year . My end goal is to produce segments from all over South east Asia to Australia .

We intend to cover townships , populated Islands and obscure inlets that may contribute to the pollution of our Oceans . I will talk to people about what’s being done in their area to stem the flow of plastics . How to curb the use of plastic bags , straws and some of the worst like styrofoam and diapers . We want to come up with solutions that local and tourist alike will make habit . Places to deposit the waste that can’t be burnt safely and hopefully collected for restructure into usable materials . People are creative of that I’m sure . When shown a disastrous situation we’ve always risen to the challenge , working together for the betterment of us all .

We are human and this is our earth . I don’t believe any one purposely neglects nature or each other . The scourge has been created by consumerism and fueled by convenience . Life demands drive us through our day like a roller coaster . It’s time to step off , not be driven by stressful daily chores and breath . Please let your nature waken and do what you can .

Here we are in 2019 , wow . Think of all the progress , inventions and awareness that’s become recognized in the past 10 years .

We’re on the verge of edible bags , plates and even forks to straws . We’re making many products from recycled plastic that’s economical to use since it lasts forever .

There has been a growing concern among governments of several countries banning plastic bags . This trend is growing as other officials recognize the threat and lobby their leaders to interact . This is everybody’s problem and we all need to recognize that .

Those countries that chose to pollute and destroy reefs are being watched as well as forced to stop the harm their doing . Other countries are changing their view that importing garbage is profitable . Only of it’s separated and recyclable . The new trend looks like filled cargo containers sent to a bogus address in a third world country doesn’t come back , very creative but insults every brain cell they might have . Guess the fine they’d receive was worth the risk .

There’s plenty of room for invention in this cleanup market . still looking like people are dipping their toes in to see how it feels . The latest project involved many boats and barges . I believe it took place in 2018 and they had their hands full from the start . Any effort is a big effort on the high seas and most projects are a thimble in a hurricane . Private funding is tough when there’s little to no profit .

The tonnage of plastic is still being dumped and washed into our water systems daily . Until we change our packaging as well as our negligent behavior we’re non stop polluting our oceans and ourselves . The old saying ” ya can’t eat dirt ” will become ” ya can’t eat plastic .” Giving up is not an option . Time is of the essence as we move forward in life . It’s happening whether you like it or not . It’s happening if you help or don’t . In just 60 years we’ve polluted our world way past what thousands of years delivered . I’d say time to clean could take much longer than 60 years .

If what I’m saying is in fact true then how will your children eat let alone drink clean water ? How expensive will what flowed freely cost in 20 years ? Is this an organized effort to chastise the population while cornering the market on water as well as foods ? Does this all stem from plastic waste ?

Lucky I’m an optimist . Zombies won’t eat our brain but will help clean up the mess . In just a few more years our collection at sea will learn and use the knowledge to quickly clear square miles of Plastic debris . Fish species will propagate in abundance as the non food clears from their sight . Disease should lessen as cleaner streams to lakes and oceans revert back to natural levels . Human kind survives .

These pics aren’t enough to show what Isla Verde has to offer . Our camera died during my last tour unfortunately . The best shots were lost but in explanation some Mesa’s were over 4 meters across . The colors ranged from red , green , blue and purple . Outstanding vibrant hues and competition for space as they covered the area with hiding places for the young fish .

When we approached the thick coral areas there were multiple types of coral as far as we could see . Sight was stupendous ranging from 10 to 20 meters and down 6 to 7 meters still having brilliant color . The schools within the nursery held Trigger , Grouper , Neons and Puffers of all colors . The Clown fish came in a multitude of color as well , ranging from common orange / white to red , brown and purplish .

Again I’d like to point out how the plastics have been diminishing . In schools throughout Luzon and Visayas children are taught not to allow plastics into the ocean . Single use packaging is being looked at as pollutant material and may be banned throughout the Philippines soon . Why this form of shelf life sales has been distributed is a manufacture profit margin and forced into consumption by companies searching for larger profit . Waking up to these facts opens different ideas that may add living food to packaging instead of choking the life of all marine life . Let’s be a part of the solution and enjoy the company of these creatures from Dilis to Whales , from Turtle to Coral . This is ground zero .

We’re home again , with excitement about seeing the reef and knowledge the Chinese dredging ship has gone with no sand . The new energy source that lies beneath the ocean is the new clean fuel of the future . We can hold it in our hands and burn a bright blue flame . It’s solid and satellite pics show an amazing abundance around the Philippine Islands . Wonder why the Chinese want to dredge throughout ? This is the new gold , the new oil .

If mining is now under the sea , who has the rights to this substance ? Within the archipelago of the Philippines it’s clearly the Philippines’ property , Period . Making a mess to steal is like walking into your home after it being ransacked . The feeling is somewhat like rape . The damage is long lasting , just like the mining done in Mindanao . They left a mess that will take decades to repair .

Let’s calm a bit and reflect on the Lobo reef . It is thriving . Many turtles are seen in abundance , fish schools have doubled since sanctuaries protecting the reefs were instated . I’m impressed by the many colors we see growing like a garden , no a forest would explain it best . I swim the kilometer from two to seven meters deep and just don’t want to surface . Yesterday I caught a glimpse of two nurse sharks hunting . Moments later a few turtles lazily grazing didn’t mind me swimming by . If this sounds like paradise , it is .

There is some silt kicked up from the resorts , this week being Holy Week , but visibility is over six meters . The water temps are steady at 84f , 29c at surface levels , just below that a couple meters under . Calm in morning and evening with a breeze in the afternoon . Yes it is like air conditioning from Mother Earth . Across the channel Mindoro is shrouded in clouds until afternoon when it rises to show an outline of the mountains there . Isla Verde always present and calling .

Tomorrow we sail for Isla Verde . I’m so excited I may not sleep . It’s been two years since we explored there and I’ve been itching to get back ever since . Of all the reefs we’ve surveyed Isla Verde stands out alone . Hectares of coral . Fish species in abundance , from grouper of many kinds to rock fish , coral fish , eels and so many I can’t count . There’s an atmosphere of electricity throughout the boat when we get close . We’ll post our journey after editing the Isla Verde voyage .

Just a few years ago I could walk the beach and it was beautiful , clean and inviting. I would enjoy having my children feel that same connection with nature . How much stress can humans endure? What memories will they have for their children ? Will their children have enough to eat?

Channeling our attention away from the problem has been a control method used since the beginning. Breaking focus not only stalls progress but can then change course and action . So many distractions and false information eventually break down a movement toward health and prosperity to utter collapse and despair. Who wins ?

My heart aches for the two whales found dead in SF bay today . They reported the first autopsy as from malnutrition . The news couldn’t report straight fact that they were full of plastic . These animals died in vain . Wait , look over there ! A post about the squash from Wadgama , how colorful and nutritious. Is it packaged in plastic?

The policy of switch and bait is so blatant we’ll laugh when it’s our turn , believing the lie . Who is doing all the cover up ? Why ? Until people stand and unite against this it will rule the day .

Doing whatever we can is all we can do . The best from day to day is a slide scale , so just do your best at every given moment . Doing something shows you respect others , nature . Doing something shows you want to live .

These hero’s are inspirational to us all . People travel to the beach to relax and enjoy the waves . When we encounter trash it’s a negative experience and we leave with higher blood pressure than when we arrived . This plastic eventually enters the water system again and some is eaten by sea life . . It’s endless right now . Coming from mountain streams , blown into piles by wind throughout the land . Don’t be discouraged. If we work arm in arm eventually the mounting mass will dwindle to nothing .

Thank you all ! Thank those that take the time to gather debris, keeping it from harming innocent life . Thanks to those that develop new biodegradable packaging . Thank those that speak out and educate others . Thank all on the front line in this war against pollution.

Ok , so being a janitor isn’t glamorous and doesn’t bring mounds of cash brought by beautiful women in bikinis , but Sea Sheriff is like being a waste manager only implies we sail the horizon in search of pollutants . Now that could be a Sifi movie for Sundance !

On our rounds we travel to far away reefs with only a knife and bag . Using maybe a stick to help gather evidence for forensic tests . We fill the bags and move on . Ever on the prowl for plastics and petroleum products clogging our arteries and flow patterns . It’s a lonely life as we watch the party goers dancing on the beach but they’ve got a collection bag to leave a clean camp so we move along the tide . Hey wait , their waving us over . Gona close for now and have a break with the locals . Ya , so walking the beach and swimming the reefs has it’s percs. Then ya find out these people are here to help clean it up as well . Now it’s a party .

What else would you expect from a walk along the beautiful ocean ? We all envision a clean environment but that’s become far from true . Help doesn’t seem to be in abundance as our world leaders have other important issues . It’s a great opportunity to touch nature and meet people if you’re into that .

What it is is not going to change by continuing along the same path we are on . The survival instinct kicks in just after we realize it’s to late . When the fear of being gone sets in people direct attention toward the extinction problem , but wait there’s more ! Pain and suffering in great abundance replaces your hunger for food . Water becomes tainted and nothing prospers without clean water .

We’re just going to have to deputize you all . No way even ten thousand people can make a dent in our problem . If we have organized teams with equipment to match and recycling plants , maybe , just maybe we have a chance . Ok . we’ll take what odds we’ve been given and do the best we can .This has been a lighthearted post kinda joking with a serious problem . From our hearts we hope everyone keeps the seriousness of survival fresh in their daily lives . Try to leave a small footprint along your path . Check your throw away from week to week and try beating your previous trash weight .

Be Well

Our findings of the Island of Boracay may not be pretty or inviting yet , but given time we feel it can regain a lost luster and shine again . as we arrived the weather was rain and cold . environmental fees cost more than the short trip across from Caticlan . I still don’t understand charging after the fact or making the tourism trade pay for over building and improper sewage .

The rooms available weren’t the best and cost was high . keep in mind this was Christmas week . We moved to better quarters after two days , closer to the beach and a bit nicer . Many people had the same experience , relocating to available rooms . Many resorts have been slated to be torn down , many are posted with permits stating work should begin or face demolition as well . Quite a number have been demolished already . Just the beginning . The main avenue has been torn up to replace sewer lines , drainage , fresh water lines and it looked like cable lines . strong stench of open sewer could be detected throughout the east beach area . This is a temporary problem but let’s not forget it’s Christmas week .

On the streets the sidewalks are paver brick , unfinished . The sewer and water lines run under the sidewalks and most are open pits . Many places smell of raw sewage , have mosquitos and are unattractive as of yet . These are small problems that are being addressed and soon will be the beautiful city designed to be . Off the golden path it becomes paved or gravel as any other Island throughout the Philippines . Old school neighborhoods have a charm and are grandfathered in from generations ago . This is the work force for the resorts , a very needed group of families that have lived on Boracay since before it became a tourist haven .

What shows along the beach is clean and raked daily . The beaches are clean and posted for fines if you don’t respect the new environmental standards .

The shallow reefs are young.  Growth over dead corals.  There are larger growths deeper,more established but the young ones are healthy, beautiful and strong.  We were lucky enough to catch a turtle sleeping and a couple of eels warily peeking out of their hideaway.

We stopped at Cobrador Island and talked to the school coordinator.  We spoke of the library, built of plastic bottles filled with plastic then plastered over.  Having exposed areas showing the bottles and the construction of the library.  All children in Romblon and accompanying islands are taught the value of keeping plastic out of our oceans.  Praise to the teachers, honor students and thanks for the beautiful beaches.  It’s only a matter of time before all of the Philippines will have an understanding of the value of our reefs, our fish nurseries, along with the protection they provide for all.

We’ve been monitoring this slick for 2 years.  We assume it’s approximately 8 liters of oil that spread over a 6 meter radius.  New growth shows tenacity of coral to survive.  You can notice some atrophied by the sand encrouching on the spill.

Entering summer months in the northern hemisphere brings welcome changes . Water lovers everywhere enjoying beaches and sun gather in resort areas to enjoy the festival . We wish everyone a safe and memorable season .

Have you noticed more accumulation of debris in and along the shore ? Anyone experience dirty diapers or cigarette butts piled , strewn and poking up like mounds of clustered synthetic stench piles ? # Me Too .

Every year we hear of efforts from inspired young people gifted with ideas of cleaning the world . Then we see the fact that twice as much plastic and trash have accumulated since last year .

Every year we’re promised new material , edible and biodegradable is mentioned , but continue seeing plastic with ” green ” stamped on them . The fact is , We the people have to clean it up . We have to stop buying the plastic to prove we don’t want it . The way to be heard is to have a large and loud voice . To be acknowledged we have to prove we want to live .

It’s been said ” people don’t deserve control of natural resources ” . We shouldn’t have a choice as to water , air , minerals in our atmosphere and so on . It’s for our own good ! If you believe that please stop now and find some information about those that give up their rights and what the outcomes have been through history .

To hide and deny what is happening in our world is when we run out of breath . Literally stop breathing and gasp for that last look before the black out . Is this what has to take place before we turn around and pick up the mess ? Are we living in a throw away society so caught up in denial we don”t recognize the wall just ahead ?

Those places away from oceans , countries held in 3rd world mode so manufacturers can dump toxic and long lasting pollutants there need to  be recognized as well . We the people doesn’t mean standing alone .                     Please help . Please talk and act together . Please become active in how we live among the packaging gifted to us with everything offered . Individual bite size snacks that are gone in 5 seconds  aren’t gone if the wrapper lasts a thousand years .

Areas starved of oxygen in open ocean and by coasts have soared in recent decades, risking dire consequences for marine life and humanity

Ocean dead zones with zero oxygen have quadrupled in size since 1950, scientists have warned, while the number of very low oxygen sites near coasts have multiplied tenfold. Most sea creatures cannot survive in these zones and current trends would lead to mass extinction in the long run, risking dire consequences for the hundreds of millions of people who depend on the sea.read more

Climatologists say Labrador Sea could cool within a decade before end of this century, leading to unprecedented disruption, reports Climate News Network

For thousands of years, parts of northwest Europe have enjoyed a climate about 5C warmer than many other regions on the same latitude. But new scientific analysis suggests that that could change much sooner and much faster than thought possible.

Researchers at Carnegie Institution say corals are being overwhelmed by rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

The world’s coral reefs will begin to disintegrate before the end of the century as rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere make the oceans more acidic, scientists warn.

Biorock giving new life to coral reefs

Johnny Langenheim explains how an innovative method is sustaining corals and why on World Oceans Day we need to pledge for more such projects

Coral reefs are the rainforests of the world’s oceans. Like their terrestrial counterparts, they occur in tropical and sub tropical environments, support a bewildering variety of species and are diminishing at an alarming rate.read more

Your timely editorial about the need to improve our knowledge of the ocean (8 August) rightly stresses the responsibility of political leaders to create the means to find out more about the 70% of the planet covered by the ocean. But it is not only in the physical, biological and chemical sciences that we must improve our knowledge. There are large gaps in our knowledge about the economic and social aspects of human interactions with the sea.read more

As blood flows through our bodies water flows through our earth . As everything is connected our life’s blood needs a transfusion.

We , the people of this planet have duties to protect the environment as we would our children . Harmonizing and balancing along the journey , using technology to enforce life  before profit .

Extinction is forever , gone , never to be again !  Can we afford to gamble with our fate ? Is the ease of drinking water from a plastic bottle then throwing it away become the normal ? Buying new lawn furniture to keep in style , using plastic lighters , polymers , synthetics that last a few months , dull and are discarded is choking us to death .

The plastic fragments broken down and entering everything that eats or breaths is clogging our systems so badly that in only one generation we’ve come to a threshold of life . All Life Is In Jeopardy .

The world has grown very quickly this last century . It’s not so big anymore . Quite small in fact . Old rules don’t apply . War isn’t needed , we communicate across the planet in nano seconds . New forms of energy are available , oil is out dated and crude . Yet wells are constantly placed in our oceans that leak , across our lands that spill and enter our fresh waters .

The CEO of Nestle thinks we people don’t deserve water rights while he is no better than an African tribesman trying to supply his family with enough to survive another day . Money and power gives the right to dictate a life’s outcome ?

People have a voice . Together we give those on top what they want or not . People taking time to live like before oil and plastic ruled them makes them heard in a loud and clear voice .

Please join together in this battle for life . Let’s not give our choices , our vote to a greedy few just because the advertising  says it’s okay . Each and every person , animal , coral reef or green plant has a right to live in a clean environment .

 

All Love Love All
