Hi everyone!

The first whales of the season have been spotted, which means whale season is officially underway. If you capture any great photos, be sure to send them to ruth@lifepublishinggroup.com for a chance to have them featured in the paper.

This week, I’m hoping to watch Oceans, the new documentary by Sir David Attenborough. I’ve long admired his work and he’s been a major influence on my own career. I recently read in his book (which I highly recommend) that he actually started out as a producer at the BBC and was never intended to be a presenter at all! What I love most about his storytelling is the way he tackles complex and confronting topics with clarity and compassion, never making it feel like an attack but rather an invitation to care, which is what I always aimed to do with Ruth2Reef.

Anyway, happy reading (& watching if you are a David Attenborough fan!).

Ruth

Fast Fact: The ocean covers more than 70% of the Earth's surface.
