Like myself in Colorado, many landlocked communities feel disconnected from the ocean’s vastness and the pressing issues it faces. “Out of sight, out of mind” often really applies here, and it’s understandable when we can’t bring the ocean to those who have never visited. I grew my love for marine science by visiting aquariums and zoos, and while...]]></description><link>https://www.oceansatelevation.com/post/connecting-landlocked-communities-to-ocean-conservation-efforts</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cda229f7044e6cf7a6c0e7</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Apr 2026 22:54:33 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c95c24_94f5b77146c24dbda8e46be8b51e1550~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_576,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Katie Sheahan</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Understanding Marine Life: Stories from Landlocked Perspectives]]></title><description><![CDATA[Marine life is a vast and intricate world that often feels distant for those living in landlocked regions. The ocean, with its diverse ecosystems and fascinating creatures, can seem like a realm reserved for those who live by the coast. However, understanding marine life is not just for ocean dwellers; it is essential for everyone. These stories aim to bridge the gap between landlocked perspectives and the wonders of the ocean, highlighting the importance of marine ecosystems and emphasizing...]]></description><link>https://www.oceansatelevation.com/post/understanding-marine-life-stories-from-landlocked-perspectives</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cda227f7044e6cf7a6c0e4</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Apr 2026 22:54:31 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c95c24_15007af8d36e4fec864d90d405c5423c~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_576,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Katie Sheahan</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[River Cleanups: Making Waves for Change]]></title><description><![CDATA[Rivers are the lifeblood of our ecosystems, providing essential resources for wildlife and communities alike. However, pollution and waste have turned many of these vital waterways into dumping grounds. This is where we come in. By participating in river cleanups, we can help restore these natural treasures and make a significant impact on our local environment. I always have so much fun at cleanups, whether along Miami Beach or the Portland River. It’s a chance to connect with the community,...]]></description><link>https://www.oceansatelevation.com/post/join-our-river-cleanups-making-waves-for-change</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cda224f7044e6cf7a6c0de</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Apr 2026 22:54:28 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c95c24_450c31ffb36b404fb768e25e7e25e8fa~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_576,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Katie Sheahan</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
