I turn my eyes to the blue abyss ahead of me, but it is not the soft light blue-green that we find at the shallow end but the deeper, more somber blue that represents the enigma of the ocean and the journey that lies ahead of me. Then the boat stops moving and it's time…

Nearly three hundred people filled the tranquil water before me. Children splashed each other in delight, while adults preferred to just relax and float on the surface. However, this tranquil water did not last long, as a familiar noise known as “the buzzer” sounded. The buzzer signals the wave generator to begin producing ten to fifteen-foot-high waves. In this instant, each individual is considered to be at risk for injury and it is my job, as a lifeguard, to watch over and protect them. We…

For my Shark Chat topic I would like to speak about citizen science and how people, regardless of age, major, or qualification can participate and become citizen scientists themselves. Citizen science is when local residents contribute to data collection of their environment without having to be actual scientists.
