She has a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies focusing on sustainable land use management, overpopulation issues and environmental policies. Sage is actively involved in the Las Vegas Valley hosting fundraisers for local non-profit animal organizations by combining art, music and educational resources. She’s currently involved with the global campaign to educate people about the link between the brutal dolphin slaughter in Taiji, Japan and organizations like SeaWorld and the Miami Seaquarium. Sage has been a voice for animal’s rights from a very young age; the older she becomes, the louder her voice is! And with age comes wisdom, because she now advocates for human rights as well. She understands that there’s an intricate link between animal’s and human’s rights, with a deep understanding of all species sharing this planet, as well as the need to care for our planet. She hopes that through positive education people will not only open their minds, but open their hearts as well so together, we can become a more humbled, compassionate world. 01:51:00AquamannoEnvironment,Oceans,Change,Captivity,SeaworldSage Ashcroft is an animal activist, environmentalist, and human rights advocate.

People are willing to sacrifice much more in support of their tribe. Further to this, their tribe is one of many sub-tribes making up the conservation movement in general. So all the conservation groups, including Earthrace, are all sub-tribes with converging values and ideals, and together we make up a very considerable tribe that is a growing and mobile force around the globe." Earthrace Conservation is a powerful fusion of direct action, knowledge and expertise, education, and most importantly, passion, which we strongly believe will grow into one of the most effective marine conservation groups in the world. The oceans cover over 70% of the earth’s surface – they are vast. The scale of the problems and issues being faced by marine mammals and the habitats they live in is equally immense. In October 2013, Pete, an Earthrace team of ex-services personnel (The Operatives) and a volunteer support crew, plus the new Sealegs amphibious craft, returned home after a three month campaign in Costa Rica helping to tackle pirate vessels fishing illegally around the coast.

We speak our minds on the many issues we face as a society and offer our humble but pointed opinions on how to embrace a sustainable future.  Jost van Dyke considers himself a Multidimensional Renaissance HuMan.   This multidimensional indentification is typified by three pivotal events at an early age that set in motion an underpinning dynamic.   Before Jost's birth, his parents had a “close  encounter” experience that was quite extraordinary for two people raised and living at the time in rural North Florida amidst Deep South fundamentalism of the 1950s.   Subsequently, Jost was born Easter morning, at the break of dawn with a natal sun conjunct an 11:11 Aries ascendant/Libra descendant axis.   At the age of five, Jost had an out of body experience (OBE), an angelic visitation that set a precedence for recurring numinous events that have since made a significant impact on his life in many ways.   In addition to being an accomplished concert pianist, Jost has pursued many creative, professional venues.  Among these include acting as musical theatre director at Florida State University School of Theatre, vocal coach/accompanist, music editor for Bourne/International Music Publishers and international copyright correspondent for MCA/Universal, Inc., Artist in Residence at Marymount Manhattan College, fine-dining restaurant manager, a chef and food columnist, a large-scale events coordinator, a nationally-exhibited fine art photographer with photographs housed in private and gallery collections around the country, a photo-journalist, and most recently a Pilates instructor.     01:00:00AquamannoEnvironment,Change,Justice,Oceans,PoliticsThe boys are back to bring their own special dose of reality  to this crazy world we live in.

His love for these animals began when he was very young, he was one of the "Free Willy" kids and thinks that his love for Keiko's story is what inspired him to become what he is today. He is almost done with his degree in general biology, which is being delayed a bit because of all the work he has done with Promar Equinac, and other initiatives such as the WCA (World Cetacean Alliance) and Morgan, as well as a project for a preschool in South Africa. He has been to dolphinariums in Spain before he really understood the issues with captivity, but his best memories are from the few times his parents took him to see wild dolphins, in the strait of Gibraltar. He goes there regularly now, as it is one of the world's hotspots for cetaceans. His first real experiences were in South Africa as a volunteer and being a research assistant and a guide on whale watching tours. A few weeks after that he was walking on the beach in Almerimar, and saw this group of people camped on the beach with a baby dolphin in a sea pen, and that's when he began working with Promar and with Marcos the dolphin. At the moment he is a member of the technical team in the original NGO, Promar Equinac, where they are working hard on various projects, above all looking for resources so that they are prepared for any stranded animal that they may have to attend to. They also help other animals like dogs and horses, so they have decided to include that in the NGO's work as well In 2014 he will attend Whalefest and a few conferences. He hopes Promar Equinac will also grow as a team and an NGO.   01:01:00AquamannoDolphins,Whales,Cetaceans,Marine Mammals,OceansAlexander Sánchez, Secretary at PROMAR-Equinac Alexander Sanchez, is British but was born and raised in southern Spain.

Orca Conservancy, along with four other conservation groups, the Pacific Whale Watch Association, and the treaty tribes of Washington State are requesting your participation in opposing the Admiralty Inlet Pilot Tidal FERC Project No. 12690, to be sited on the east side of Admiralty Inlet in Puget Sound, Washington, about 1 kilometer west of Admiralty Head and part of Whidbey Island. Our opposition is not against ‘green alternative energy’, but we do oppose the current site chosen. This OpenHydro Pilot Tidal Turbine Project could have detrimental impacts on our treasured Endangered Southern Resident Killer Whale (SRKW) population, as well as affecting transient orcas and 12 other Federally Protected ESA species, including Chinook Salmon, Chum Salmon, North Pacific Humpback Whales, and the Eastern Stellar Sea Lion. The Endangered Southern Resident Community of Killer Whales (SRKWs) is now at the lowest population number in more than a decade. The three family groups, J, K and L Pod, currently stand at 80 members, (Center for Whale Research, 7/2013). Adding insult to injury, there have been no calves born this year despite recovery plans in place in Canada and the U.S. What clearly needs to be understood is that tidal energy production is still very much in its infancy. That the amount of power produced so far has been small. Currently, only two commercial-sized tidal power plants operate in the world. One is located in La Rance, France; the other is in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada.

She holds degrees in Biology and Nursing. She has been most active the past 18 years since moving to Atlanta. Recently she has been focused on marine mammals and their welfare. She is deeply concerned about our oceans and the life in them. She believes captivity is wrong and tries to educate when ever possible. A campaign she has been watching and deeply involved with as of recent is the GA Aquarium trying secure permits to import 18 beluga whales from the cruel Russia round up. NOAA has yet to announce if they will approve this and issue a permit or not. And hoping for the later. 00:30:00AquamannoBeluga,Whales,Captivity,Cetaceans,NOAAKay has been in involved with animal welfare in one form or the other since her childhood.
