Hi!!! Sorry I've been nearly absent - but I'm an avid reader even when my voice is silent for awhile. I'm beginning to think our blog may be made up of a silent majority, as a matter of fact :-)
I'm in Santa Cruz, CA now, and head to San Francisco to see friends for the weekend. Jenny, I'm sad you won't be around this time! I'll be channeling you and Jasmine while I'm in the Bay area for sure...
Have had an exciting week of talking about everything marine at a TNC conference here. Surrounded by scientists, I was starting to wonder where I fit in, until I had an amazing conversation with someone who runs one of our programs in Indonesia and we bonded over the need to remember that, at its heart, conservation is really a social science in so many ways. It was lovely :-) Anyway, I wanted to pass on a link to this document someone just told me about yesterday in a workshop on marine issues and climate change. It's called The Earth Is Faster Now: Indigenous Observations of Arctic Environmental Change. I haven't even read it yet, but it looks fascinating so didn't want to wait to share!
Oh, also, I don't know if you're reading this, Anthony, but had lunch today with a woman who lives in Guam, and she and her husband are volunteer scorekeepers for rugby tournaments. I'm not sure of her name, but she's lived there for 13 years and works for TNC. Sound familiar? What a fun connection - rugby brings the world together!
I'm listening to waves outside my room and missing all of you!!!!
