Do you feel disconnected from the ocean because you live far from the coast? As a young person growing up in land-locked Colorado, it was a bit hard to see how my life was connected to something so far away. However, my love and understanding of the ocean blossomed during my visits to the Butterfly Pavilion, an educational institution with oceanic exhibits that sparked my curiosity about marine life. Institutions like the Butterfly Pavilion work to inform the public about the importance of ecosystems, no matter how far away they are. We need more ocean stories and more ocean storytellers to foster urgency, compassion, and action for hopeful, inventive ocean futures.
So true!
