Children are users of marine resources, waste generators and future leaders. Their understanding of the ocean and threats like marine litter is thus an important step to achieving sustainability. We ERACOMA are working to enlighten children on Marine conservation. #GGGI

Once a teacher, always a teacher. One success of my PhD research, NOMIHAB project is nurturing young marine scientists through practical experiences with our one year fieldwork in Mombasa, Kenya. Students mentorshipis key to enhancing human resources ERACOMA

We had a great day discussing with fishermen from around Mombasa ghost nets loss and accumulation hotspots in the area, an MSc study for our mentee at Technical University of Mombasa. Student mentorship is key to enhancing human resources in conservation #eracoma #womeninscience

Bravo to our collaborating team Diani Turtle Watch Turtle Monitors and KWS-Scouts for this noble job in the South Coast. Together we will ensure that our waters are safe from ghost nets. #joanatoleconservationgrant #GGGI Joanna Toole Foundation ERACOMA

Ghost nets are ghost killers, sea turtles are highly at risk of strangulation in both waters and beaches, we thank our turtle monitors who work tirelessly with fishermen to ensure safety of our wildlife in the south Coast of Kenya. #GGGI ERACOMA Joanna Toole Foundation

Mentorship is key if we want to achieve the full potential of young women and girls in sciences. We only become giants by mingling with giants and learning their tactics ERACOMA UN Women @OWSD_SA

Although men play great roles in nurturing women and girls in STEM, female youngsters feel much motivated when they see fellow women believe in them and ready to hold their hands. Am grateful to have been part of these youngsters journey.#mentorship ERACOMA Women In Science
