Happy International Day for Climate Action! 🌎

Originally launched in 2009 by 350.org, this day aims to inspire global communities to take meaningful steps toward climate solutions.

Did you know that our ocean absorb about 90% of the excess heat and roughly 30% of human-made carbon dioxide emissions? Therefore, protecting our ocean is also helping to fight climate change!

At Oceanic Impact, we drive climate action through our work in ocean conservation:

📖 Educating communities through hands-on learning experience to understand climate impacts on marine ecosystems and how everyone can take action

✊️ Empowering volunteers to monitor water quality and biodiversity to track ecosystem health across our watersheds

🔗 Connecting people with the water, land, and people through shoreline and underwater cleanups to keep coastal areas clean for all

Addressing climate change is a massive undertaking, but every one of our everyday choices can make an impact!

How are you taking action for the climate today?

Event Details:
Date: Saturday, October 24
Time: 2:45 PM – 3:45 PM
Location: Milton Public Library - Sherwood Branch

Spots are limited to 25 people, so register here to reserve your spot: https://beinspired.libcal.com/event/4082919 (link in bio)

Happy World Rivers Day!

Rivers are essential to life on Earth and here are some fun fact:

- Rivers act as nature's arteries, delivering essential nutrients, sediment, and freshwater to coastal ecosystems.
- The combined length of all rivers on Earth spans millions of kilometers, which would be the equivalent to wrapping around the equator over 150 times!
- Rivers are also essential to human civilization by providing fresh drinking water, supporting agriculture through irrigation, powering clean hydroelectricity, serving as crucial corridors for trade and transportation, and many other functions!

What is your favorite local river to visit or explore? Do you know any other fun river facts? Let us know in the comments below! 👇

Happy World Cleanup Day!

Throwing back to our inaugural shoreline and underwater cleanup on July 12th in partnership with A Greener Future, Human Nature Projects Canada, and Dirty Adventures Scuba!

Check out some of the fun and unusual items we pulled out of the water and off the beach!

Happy World Dolphin Day! 🐬

Dolphins are exceptionally intelligent and fast marine mammals that can exchange 80% of the air in their lungs with a single breath, and sleep with only half of their brains at a time! These social animals form tight-knit pods and rely on unique, individual signature whistles to identify and call out to one another.

Fun facts: orcas are the largest dolphins and there are freshwater dolphins living in our rivers!

Despite their intelligence, dolphins face serious threats across the globe. These include getting accidentally entangled in commercial or discarded fishing gear, chemical, plastic and underwater noise pollution.

You can help protect dolphins by choosing sustainably sourced seafood, reducing single-use plastics usage, supporting marine protected areas, and raise awareness about their importance to healthy ocean ecosystems!

Happy World Beach Day!

While World Beach Day was yesterday (Sept 1), it actually kicks off World Beach Month, which makes September the perfect time to celebrate, protect, and enjoy our shorelines!

Beaches are important for coastal protection, biodiversity, and recreation. To us at Oceanic Impact, beaches connect the land with the water.

If you are heading to the water this month, here are a few of our team's favourite activities on the beach:
- Scuba Diving & Snorkelling: Exploring underwater ecosystems and observing local marine species firsthand.
- Wildlife Observation & Tracking: Appreciating coastal biodiversity and wildlife tracks along the shoreline.
- Citizen Science & Litter Cleanups: Conducting wildlife, litter, or microplastics citizen science surveys while picking up litter to help keep our beaches clean.

Healthy beaches depend on community action. Whether you are helping with a shoreline cleanup or taking a quiet moment by the water, every action helps protect these vital ecosystems for the future.

What is your favorite beach activity? Share in the comments below! 👇
