Here we are again, another week of people taking action for our oceans. But first, a first! Last week, I received a comment on my post from a friend informing me that her husband attended the Ocean Sciences Meeting (OSM) I was raving about and lo and behold…none of the attendees received plastic-sleeved name tags!…
One thing is for certain: I have never seen weeks fly by as fast as when I’m marking them by this weekly Wednesday post. Sometimes, they fly by so fast I miss Wednesday and have to post this a day late! *face palm* Thankfully, this weekly “thing” has become a very inspiring habit: collect stories…

Hello dear readers, and happy Wednesday! It’s time to Wake-Up for some wins on this Wednesday. If you read my last post, you’ll know that this is a new thing I’m into: sharing “good news highlights” from around the Internet.
