Hi! I am the founder of Nautical Waters. My earliest memories are of lakes and dolphins. I became aware of the damage ghost nets & fishing gear have on oceans & marine life and wanted to be part of the solution. Check out our bio and consider joining me #ghostnets #oceanpollution

For anyone interested in ocean clean up, check out @NauticalWaters, a non-profit set up by then 15-year-old from #LdnOnt. She takes discarded fishing rope and repurposes it beautifully. Making a difference #LittleByLittle.
Thank you! 🐳🐟

I once watched a colleague (who had just returned to work after maternity leave) highlight every email in her inbox and press delete. When she saw the look on my face, she shrugged and said, "If they really need to talk to me, they'll find me." I think of her nearly every day.
Thank you!! We are so happy to find a way to double our impact ♻️
Check out these vases made by @NauticalWaters from discarded fishing rope retrieved from the shores of the Bay of Fundy! Each of these vases comes with a glass jar or plastic water bottle that has been cleaned and is also being repurposed!♻️

Every minute a garbage truck of plastic is dumped into the seas. 90% of large fish in the ocean have disappeared. We need to change course.
There's no time to waste. There's no planet B. #GreenNewDeal.
