Hammerheads are becoming endangered

6/14/2015

Did you know that hammerheads are becoming endangered? The scalloped hammerhead is among the newest creatures and the first sharks to join the endangered species list in the past year. 95% of the hammerhead population has declined since 1985 in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. Because of the high demand for shark fins, the scalloped hammerhead population (which is a highly migratory population in coastal regions) has declined significantly with fins warranting $50-$100 per pound. NOAA has reported that this is wholesale value. Hammerheads also die in bycatch. They are often caught in gillnets and targeted when they are juveniles for their meat. Even when accidentally caught and released, most hammerheads cannot survive the trauma. So please help save the sharks and join organizations that protect and prevent shark finning.

Getting kids to love the ocean

Taking 50 kindergarteners on a boat seems like a daunting excursion and convincing parents to let their children go with their teacher on a boat even more difficult task, however Franceil (Ms. Masi) did it. In fact, it was easy!! She raised the money, got a grant, and made sure no one got sick and even more importantly had a good time! Students actually saw four gray whales off the coast of Long Beach on the trip and enjoyed it tremendously.

Ms. Masi decides what her mission is and just goes after it. She teaches about the environment in her classroom and actually recruits parents to continue her environmental mission. This year she arranged a beach cleanup with parents on a Saturday on her own time. 

She makes the kids care about their own world by writing letters, instilling empathy, reading Dear Mr. Blueberry and Hey Little Ant, and then goes for broke, making the parents fill out a carbon footprint and having her students write about how they can save the world. 

It's amazing... and kids from her class year after year becomes the protectors of the environment. They will never forget that their teacher took them whale watching. Never!

Ms. Sacowitz inspired me to save the sea

It was my 6th grade field trip and we went to the University of Miami's Science Lab. I was very excited not only to be going on a field trip with my teacher Ms. Sacowitz, but to go in the ocean looking for sea animals. It was then when I really started to appreciate nature. So we were sent in groups into the water with a net to observe sealife and we were told not to kill anything even by accident! And the funniest thing was, here all along I had gone fishing all my life since I was 5 and told not to kill anything. Well of course I wasn't going to!!! So we scraped the bottoms and dug up the sand and then we swooped our nets around the water and bingo....I caught something! I couldn't believe my eyes!!! It was a seahorse (in the flesh)! I was so excited to see a real live seahorse in the ocean I yelled near and far to my teacher who couldn't hear me, but I had to let it go. But for that 30 seconds I was intoxicated with the ocean, with that seahorse that appeared in front of my eyes. Something people never get a chance to see in the wild, and I had that chance, brilliantly under the sunshine on that Miami day. I will never forget it as long as I live and when I think back to that day, I truly believe that it was my teacher who inspired me to save the sea. Otherwise I would have forgotten about it and would have never made a seahorse plush.
