Out of this World Conservation
On July 25th during Latino Conservation Week
Martin Martinez an Ambassador of Latino Conservation Week and Por La Creacion. Will lead a team in an out of this world conservation experience. At NASA - Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Besides launching rockets, Kennedy Space Center is filled with beautiful, diverse natural habitats. At the beginning of the space program in 1962, NASA purchased 140,000 acres, establishing it as the Launch Operations Center (LOC). In November of 1963, it was renamed to the John F. Kennedy Space Center, after the late U.S. president.
After building launch pads and facilities, a large amount of land remained untouched. In 1963, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service established the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). Today, it focuses on protecting the 1,500 species of plants and animals within the refuge.
Los Angeles Youth Deep Sea Fishing
On July 17 2021
During the kick-off of Latino Conservation Week, Oasis Youth Ministry, Victorious Men, and Victorious Kids will be enjoying a day of Fishing in the port of Los Angeles, CA. We will be docking off from Newport Landing and heading out towards safe fishing grounds near the Catalina Islands.
It's a day were kids, youth and adults will learn from wildlife experts how overfishing can lead to devastating effects to our economy as well as lands. They will see the majesty of our planet from a fishermen's eyes. They will learn how fisherman are advocates for climate change in the coast of California are supporting the 30/30 initiative.
In California, the ocean supports a diversity of marine organisms and a vibrant fishing economy. However, increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are leading to a warmer ocean and more extreme climate variations. This has implications for the location and abundance of fish and invertebrates as well as the people who depend on these species for their livelihoods and wellbeing.
