โSailGP wanted to run a yacht race in a marine mammal sanctuary. They made a plan in the event of dolphins swimming into the course. Dolphins happened. They stuck to the plan.โ More good @NZGeographic analysis here

For many Mฤori, kina have long been a seasonal tohu, a sign: when pลhutukawa flower, the kina are fat. Now, theyโre becoming a tohu of another kind: a barometer of the state of our troubled oceans, a prick to our collective conscience. But could we eat our way out of this? 1/2
Super fun day of learning how to fly @MMEG_UoA's drone! Can't wait to take this bad boy out to sea and capture a birds-eye view of our #MarineMegafauna! For now, I will be practicing on land where it's a bit less wavy and wet ๐ฆ๐๐
