"The Physics of Noseriding" explores the magic and mechanics of this iconic surfing move. Through Namaala, a young surfer whose ancestors pioneered water-flying, the film reveals the sensation of levitation as wave, board, and surfer unite.

Written and directed by Lauren L. Hill, starring Namaala Slabb, this film is presented by Patagonia. Patagonia uses its business, investments, and voice to address the threat of extinction facing all life on Earth.

Traditional surface finishing technologies, including chemical etching and sandblasting, often rely on ecologically harmful processes. Fusion Bionic offers a sustainable alternative with its Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) technology.

DLIP creates functional surface textures inspired by nature, mimicking structures found on lotus leaves and shark skin. This innovative approach earned Fusion Bionic recognition as a runner-up for the prestigious Ray of Hope Prize.

In her TEDxNSCCWaterfront talk, Mi’kmaw Poet Laureate Rebecca Thomas explains Etuaptmumk: Two-Eyed Seeing. This concept encourages integrating the strengths of Indigenous and Western knowledges, using both perspectives for the benefit of all.

As Coordinator of Aboriginal Student Services and a spoken word artist, Thomas draws from her family’s residential school history to highlight the lack of First Nations perspectives in Halifax’s history. She uses her platform to bring a cultural voice to public discussion, believing poetry empowers the voiceless and fosters healing. “Poetry can give a voice to the voiceless. Poetry can make a powerless person feel powerful. This is why I speak,” she states.

Legal scholar Kelsey Leonard highlights that water, essential for life, remains largely unprotected by law. She proposes granting lakes and rivers legal "personhood"—the same rights as humans—as a crucial step to protect these vital resources and transform our valuation of them.

Dive into the mysterious world of deep-sea sharks, one of the ocean's least understood groups. With over 500 species thriving in darkness, these incredible animals have evolved unique adaptations

Dive into the mysterious world of deep-sea sharks, one of the ocean's least understood groups. With over 500 species thriving in darkness, these incredible animals have evolved unique adaptations like glowing eyes and light-producing abilities. From the long-lived Greenland shark to newly discovered species, much about their hidden lives remains unknown.

Through the Common Oceans Deep Sea Fisheries Project, scientists, fishers, and fisheries management organizations are collaborating. Their collective efforts aim to uncover the secrets of these deep-sea creatures and ensure their protection for future generations.

A recent expedition in Mexico's Gulf of California tallied just 10 to 13 vaquitas, confirming these small porpoises are critically endangered but not yet extinct. Their population has plummeted

A recent expedition in Mexico's Gulf of California tallied just 10 to 13 vaquitas, confirming these small porpoises are critically endangered but not yet extinct. Their population has plummeted from 600 in 1997, primarily due to entanglement in gillnets set for the endangered totoaba fish.

Despite the dire situation, Mexico has largely failed to enforce its totoaba fishing ban. The Center, advocating for over 20 years, now urgently calls on the government to enforce this ban immediately to prevent the vaquita's permanent loss. Learn more: https://biodiv.us/43PxPIE

A remotely operated submersible recently captured a rare video of a living juvenile colossal squid near the Atlantic Ocean's South Sandwich Islands. This foot-long creature, with a transparent body and glowing eyes, offers a glimpse of a species whose adults, never filmed alive, can reach 23 feet and weigh over 1,000 pounds, typically inhabiting Antarctic waters over 3,200 feet deep.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a Tucson-based 501c3 nonprofit, believes human welfare is deeply tied to nature's diversity. We work to protect all species from extinction through science, law, and creative media, focusing on safeguarding essential lands, waters, and climate. Our goal is a future where the wild thrives.

In 2015, the Plastic Pollution Coalition (PPC) released a video narrated by notable supporter, actor Jeff Bridges. Learn more at
