Another month comes to a close.

Here’s what we’ve been baking, playing and doing!

We’ve only been out a couple of times diving this month. The first time, we assisted another conservation group with 40 school kids. They needed help with coral transplants on a couple of dives, so that was hectic but also fun.

The second time, we hired tanks and went out on Cuthbert (our speedboat) to our artificial reef Junkyard to finish off taking photo’s and measurements of all our ‘Adopt A Corals’.

We have also played a lot of ‘RISK’ recently. Quite a few people are free, so it’s a nice way to spend the afternoon.

We hope all is well with everyone.

We’ve actually been busy today. I ran a Microplastic survey and beach clean in the morning and Simon was out filming some Open Water Students in the afternoon. His first bit of paid work in a long time. He left in bright sunshine and then the rain hit, oh my goodness, did it rain. I was at home and couldn’t even see the apartment next door it was so heavy. Poor ole Si came home drenched, blue and very wrinkly 😉

It was supposed to be Nacho night but I made a nice warming curry, thought he’d need it to thaw out from diving LOL

Tomorrow, Simon’s diving in the morning so I’m going to go paddle boarding and collect some Coral Watch data. This is a simple citizen science recording the lightest and darkest part of the coral and then updating that info to Coral Watch. The darker the coral, the healthier it is. It’s a good and easy method to record coral bleaching ;-D

I’ve been very lapse with the blog but to be honest, not a great deal has been happened. Work has been non existent, we obviously have work that we can and still do but no paying customers. Hopefully when people are allowed back into Thailand, we might get a few students rocking up.

So to keep busy I’ve done a few citizen science workshops, clean ups and have baked the odd chocolate, banana cake and shortbread. I’m still making DIY cleaners, body butters, experimenting with old Tshirts, making bags, cushions and rugs and Simon is busy with Eco’s social media, editing video’s, you name it, he’s on it.

We were actually out diving this week as we had to go out and monitor the growth and photograph all of our ‘Adopt A Corals’.

Not sure if you’re aware of our new Patreon page, this page allows people to “Adopt A Coral” or many as a monthly subscription which they can cancel at any time. Donors through this system will receive photos and updates of coral adoptions as well as merchandise (on certain tiers).  These funds help us continue to conduct our research but also educate and involve people in marine conservation and ocean threats.

We need to promote the Patreon page to attract people to help us. The more Patreon sign ups we get, the more work we are able to do.  So if you happen to know of anyone that might be interested, then please tell them about us.

We are well and finding the weather, as it’s dropped a couple of degrees a little bit chilly, so it’s time for shorts and a jumper 😀 LOL

Sending love and hugs to everyone
