  • Ocean Explorers
    Ocean Explorers What are Currents? We are bringing the beach to you! Grab your essential oils, turn on some ocean sounds, get your yoga mat and join us to make waves as we learn about ocean currents through a few simple experiments. Ocean Movement Although our planet is called “Earth” it might be better described as “ocean” as over 70 percent of the planet’s surface is covered with water! Ocean water is always on the move in the form of currents. A current is the continuous movement of ocean water caused by several factors including wind, temperature and salinity differences; the Earth’s rotation; and the impact of the moon’s gravity (tides). In these activities we are going to focus on salinity and temperature. Salinity Have you ever tasted sea water? It’s salty, right? The amount of salt in the ocean varies but overall, it is about 3.5 percent salt. This means for every 1 liter (1,000 milliliters) of seawater, there are 35 grams of salt. That may not seem like a lot but it makes a significant difference in how currents flow across the ocean. Adding salt to water changes its density. Density is defined as mass per unit volume. The more mass something has in the same volume (space), the denser it is. Salt adds mass to water. What do you think would happen if you mix salty water and fresh (no salt) water? Check out our Science Short video to find the answer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5thFonbdSk&t=11s. Was your prediction correct? Salt water is denser, and it sinks under the less-dense fresh water.

  • MEDIA RELEASE 26 November 2015
    MEDIA RELEASE 26 November 2015 Peter Gash to attend The GBR Special Screening with Sir David Attenborough Managing Director of Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort, Peter Gash, was delighted to receive an invitation to the special screening of Sir David Attenborough’s landmark series ‘The Great Barrier Reef’ being held in London next week. “It was a very unexpected pleasure and a great honour to receive an invitation to attend the special screening of the Great Barrier Reef documentary in London so how could I say no? Sir David Attenborough is a world renowned naturalist and documentary maker and I would love the opportunity to meet with Sir David and have a chat to him about the Great Barrier Reef. I know that he fell in love with Australia’s iconic Great Barrier Reef when he first visited many years ago, just like I did, so I’m glad that he was able to come back to do a documentary showcasing this incredible eco-system.” “As the current leaseholder and custodian of Lady Elliot Island, I am very excited to be going to London as an ambassador of the Southern Great Barrier Reef. As a pilot, I have also had the privilege of visiting many parts of the Great Barrier Reef over the past 25 years and I must say that it never ceases to amaze me. I can’t wait for the rest of the world to be able to see the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef through Sir David Attenborough’s eyes,” said Mr Gash. Lady Elliot is a true coral cay located on the southern tip of Australia’s World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef, 80kms north-east of Bundaberg, just north of Fraser Island.

  • Sylvia Earle Background Information
    Sylvia Earle Background Information Birth and Childhood Home She was born in Gibbs town, NJ on August 30, 1935. Her early childhood years were on a farm where there were many woods to explore. One of her favorite places was a pond. Her parent, particularly her mother was very influential in teaching her respect for animals. She always emphasized putting animals back where they were found after observing them. Sylvia took notes as a young child on the things that she observed. They also taught her not to fear the unknown. Horseshoe Crab Story Sylvia as a little girl at the beach was curious about the horseshoe crabs and how they moved. She was also concerned that they were stranded on the beach. She tried to pick them up, turn them around and sent them back to the ocean, not realizing that they were coming up on shore to lay their eggs and that she was really interfering with their mating. (see additional notes on horseshoe crabs) Reading As a child she liked to read. She liked science fiction, fairy tales, and animal stories. As she got a little older, she found that she liked non-fiction books even better. One of her favorite books was by William Beebe name Half Mile Down. He wrote about going down in the ocean in a vehicle like a submarine. In her book Sea Change and some of her other writings and interviews she refers to it frequently. After reading that book she started reading more non-fiction books and began liking the encyclopedia.

Page 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I cannot express enough gratitude to everyone who believed in me on this crazy and fantastic journey; everything you have done has molded me into the person I am today. To my family, who taught me to seek out my own purpose and pursue it wholeheartedly; without you, I would have never taken the chance and moved to England for my Masters. To my professors, who became my trusted resources and friends, your endless and caring teachings have supported me in more ways than I can put into words. To my friends who have never failed to make me smile, I am so lucky to have you in my life. Finally, a special thanks to David Attenborough, Steve Irwin, Terri Irwin, Jane Goodall, Peter Gros, Jim Fowler, and so many others for making me fall in love with wildlife and spark a fire in my heart for their welfare. I grew up on wildlife films and television shows like Planet Earth, Blue Planet, March of the Penguins, Crocodile Hunter, Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, Shark Week, and others – it was because of those programs that I first fell in love with nature as a kid, and I’ve taken that passion with me, my whole life.
