Waterlust

NEW kelp sun suits and sun shirts have dropped!

Home to thousands of marine species, including abalone, crabs, lobsters, fish, sharks, marine mammals, and sea birds, kelp forests support commercially and culturally important fisheries, protect coastlines from erosion, and support a large ecotourism industry. 

5% of sales from our kelp collection are donated to the Smith Seaweed Ecology Lab at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Dr. Jennifer Smith and her team of post-docs, graduate students, researchers, and volunteers focus on understanding how humans impact kelp forests, with specific focus on studying the thermal tolerance of different kelp species that they hope will guide future restorations efforts.  

🚨And if you been waiting for a different sun shirt print, we’ve just restocked all men’s and women’s sun shirt designs!

Nothing better than sharing the joys of the natural world with friends! (Well, everyone in Waterlust might make it better) 👯‍♀️

“Being in the marine science and conservation space can feel a lot like a Sisyphean task: everything is an uphill battle. To start, there’s actually landing a job in one of the most sought-after and competitive fields, then keeping it through contractual obligations, term fulfillments, funding cuts, budgetary restraints, extremely long hours, adverse weather conditions…

All of this seems like a lot. And it is. But most of this could be said for many other industries.

No, what leads to burnout for not just marine science folks, but to those in the environmental conservation field as a whole, is unique to this industry.”

We’re honored to have .muzia host of the incredibly awesome So You Want to Be a Marine Biologist Podcast on the blog this week!
 
Join her for this thought-provoking 5-minute read as she shares her favorite tips to avoid burnout in marine science & conservation.
