A non profits job is not to fix problems, but to fail trying to fix them over and over again as they aim for the ideal outcome. Now I'm not trying to be a pessimist here, but when we take some of the expectations that add way too much pressure to a small body of people behind a non profit, it allows them to thrive as they work to fight injustices. Find out why your non profit should share the behind the scenes details with the people who care about your cause to help inspire them to donate time and time again.    Thank you for listening, click here to read this episode's blog post at www.kaitlynnblackco.com/blog .  Follow us on Instagram @oftheoceanpodcast & @kaitlynnblackco

Make your voice be heard by listening to this episode and visiting the links below.

Japan has left the International Whaling Commission (IWC), ending their efforts to kill whales under the guise of research to resume commercial whaling with a quota of 52 minke whales, 150 Bryde's whales and 25 sei whales during the 2019 season starting July 1st. Tune in to discuss a bit of history behind the Japanese whaling industry, and how the Sea Shepherds Conservation Society has played a role in pushing them out of their "research" hunting grounds in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.  Should we protect the species that keep our oceans healthy more than species that have a lesser role? Should we hunt whales if their numbers are rising?   Read the facts: Japan Begins Commercial Whaling On July 1st 2019 . . . Thanks so much for listening.

So disappointed in how tough it was to figure out what governing bodies make the big decisions that influence our environment! As a regular citizen (not a scientist or politician) it is very difficult to get involved in the things that matter most to me, in ways that work in tandem with the systems in place. Join me for a conversation about how my research into water redirection in Florida sparked this frustration.  BullSugar Post: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv2ohI3D5Ap/ OTOP Youtube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNWC601dz4CQjNzkmNQzLE8IfvzyOlJNf   Thanks so much for listening to Of The Ocean Podcast!
