Hello! My name is Megan, an 18-year-old ocean activist living in Miami, Florida. Going to a school across the street from an amazing view of the ocean, I have found myself ever-so enthralled in its seemingly infinite beauty. I've also realized the desperate state the ocean is in from society's poor choices--things like over-fishing, illegal whaling, and, you guessed it, pollution.
Most people these days are concerned with "going green" and are determined to make their lives more eco-friendly. What many fail to realize is that while being green is admirable, something far larger is at stake from mankind's poor choices than the soil on which we walk, and that is the ocean. Perhaps we should all change our way of thinking and try on an outfit of a different color--blue.
After all; if the oceans die, we die.

Feeding my baby because he can’t feed himself… I’m hopeful that he will learn to use his feet again. <3 (Taken with Instagram)
This cute quaker came to us a few days ago unable to walk but after some therapy sessions, he’s starting to move his feet! He’s my new project and he WILL learn to walk again! (Taken with Instagram)
I named this mockingbird Meep because that’s the sound he makes! (Taken with Instagram)

The wildlife rehabilitation manager wasn’t at Pelican Harbor yesterday so another intern and I were in charge of the animal clinic! This muscovy duck was brought in with a messed up foot so we decided to go ahead and make a boot to correct the issue ourselves. Turns out we did a pretty good job. I’m learning!
