A solution to help African Penguins is fisheries management! Closing fishing grounds and creating marine protected areas around African penguin’s habitats will lead to more food sources for penguins! #39canimals #savetheafricanpenguin #AfricanPenguin

A solution implemented by WWF and SANCCOB to prevent the decline in African penguin populations is to place artificial nest boxes around the colony to prevent chicks from heat waves and predation #39canimals

A solution to aid African Penguins is to work with fishing industries to use better practices to prevent the bycatch of African Penguins in their fishing nets #39canimals #savetheafricanpenguin #PenguinAwarnessDay #penguin #africanpenguin #saveseabirds

Reduce your consumption of fish to aid African Penguins because this will lessen the need for fishing companies to overfish #39canimals #savetheafricanpenguin #saveseabirds

This is a great opportunity to get more involved and be able to save pit bulls by both donating and signing petitions! #39canimals

This is extremely heartbreaking, and we need to bring more awareness to this. This is not the right way to treat anyone. #39canimals

Within the Save the Penguin Campaign, they suggest that the fish in close proximity of penguin colonies should be protected by marine protected areas to not give fisheries access. #39canimals friendoftheearth.org/conservation-p…

This study discusses a project that South America implemented by researchers and government agencies to close and manage fisheries. They found that the closing of the fisheries led to an increase in foraging ranges. #AfricanPenguin #39canimals academic.oup.com/icesjms/articl…

The Minester of Foresty, Fisheries and the Environment has established a Governance Forum in November 2021 that seeks to close areas around African penguin colonies to fisheries to prevent overfishing! #39canimals #saveseabirds academic.oup.com/icesjms/articl…

Researchers from the University of Cape Town have worked on hand-rearing chicks. Given the limited supply of food due to overfishing, hand-rearing chicks can be very beneficial in halting African penguin population decline. #39canimals pbs.org/newshour/scien…

Directly due to the fishing companies diminishing the food supply, African penguin’s populations are declining. The companies are prioritizing their own interests without considering the impact on the African penguins.#39canimals #AfricanPenguin #saveseabirds

I learned that peer reviewing articles can help me with my own writing in WR 60. #WhatIlearnedinWR60

I learned that African penguins populations are declining due to many human causes. For example, oil spills and overfishing #WhatIlearnedinWR60

The quote by Dr. Lauren Waller from SANCCOB: “African penguins feed mainly on small pelagic fish, primarily sardine and anchovy, both of which are targeted by the commercial small pelagic fishery in South Africa.”showed me a problem African penguins face #WhatIlearnedinWR60

I learned how to make a wix site which can be used as an e-portfolio and many other things as well! The link to building a website on wix:support.wix.com/en/article/bui… #WhatIlearnedinWR60

I learned that Scicomm writing can appeal to a more popular audience and can be used to educate a popular audience about certain research studies #WhatIlearnedinWR60
