  It has been four months since I hopped into a Flagship Adventures RIB and headed out past the fish pier toward the Boston Harbor Islands.    When I picked up my trail off Georges Island, the water was nine degrees colder than it was last summer.      This time, I was determined to swim out and around Point Aller...

Words cannot even describe how much I value what you are doing. I have always cared deeply about how we leave this planet for our future generations to come. I just decided to join the coast guard and am considering the marine science technician job aka " duck scrubbers" bc I want to enforce the laws and help keep our oceans clean. I would love to put our creative minds together and connect somehow.. I will be stationed in Wilmington NC.. as of next year. Positive energy and blessings your way.. keep up the awesome energy..and humanitarian effort! Peace in our oceans~ Stephanie Stewart "a voice"
