Marine Megafauna Foundation

MR fundraising poster

I’m volunteering for this foundation to raise 5,000USD. I want to help people realize that killing mantas and and eating them is just cruel. Mantas are also a part of nature and they deserve better. People are making big businesses for fisheries who are selling their gills to be used in soups and traditional Chinese medicine which is a horrible thing. People have to stop this. Mantas are a part of life there like us. Think about it, if you were a Manta how would you feel? Think about that, would you want to be hunted down? Every year Mantas are decreasing because people are killing them to make useless things people have to STOP. Its just a matter of time till they don’t live anymore. You have to help stop this. Please help me and my fellow mantas.

There are many ways you can join the Marine Megafauna Foundation and support our work! Our three most popular ways include: our Marine Guardian Program, our Adopt-a-Giant Program and our Megafauna Sponsorship Program.

If you would simply like to send a donation to support MMF in general or any of our specific research programs (Manta Ray Program, Whale Shark Program, Sea Turtle Program, Conservation Program, Education Program) you can nominate your own donation amount or send a check to The Marine Megafauna Foundation at 3024 Frandoras Circle Oakley, California, 94561 USA. Which ever method you choose, please make a notation of what you would like your donation to go towards! And write me back about the amount you donated, so I can track whether I approach to my goal of raising 5000 USD or not.

Thank you for choosing to support our vital research and helping us to safeguard these magnificent sea creatures for future generations!

My Vacation

I went to Turkey. I was so excited because I have not seen it there for a long time. When I got there I was so happy, but the bad  thing  was that our luggage  came one hour after we landed at Istanbul. Later we went to go find my grandma and grandpa so we could go to their house to stay for a week. That week we got to do many fun stuff with my family with my aunts ,uncles, cousins and my new baby cousin who was so cute. We went  to a park that I`ve been going to since I was little. I really enjoyed going there.

Then we were going to go on a road trip to Izmir, Cesme, Ayvalik and last but not least Bodrum. It was so fun in Cesme because  you can eat ice cream in a melon and it was really really good and we also went to a castle which was so cool. For dinner we had this really nice meat . At Ayvalek we went on a boat ride that was really fun. The fish was delicious. In Izmir i ate the best toast in my life but i was very sick so i was not so happy. i had really high fever but it got better.

Then we went to Bodrum, the highlight of my vacation. All aunts, uncles, grandma, grandpa, and my cousins. We went to the Bodrum castle it was very cool. While swimming the water was so cold like ice. Bodrums fish was the best and so so so so delicious. Then we had to go back to Jakarta.
