About cchronik
I have a strong passion for the Ocean and Marine Environment. I have been in love with Whales and Dolphins since I was 10 and have made it my life long dream to one day become that go-to scientist when an event takes place that requires the most qualified people. I am currently undergoing my Masters in Marine Science and management in Australia, and after completing all these years in school, am finally ready to extend on my journey and further educate those of the protectiion our Oceans despritely need. I am developing into that person Ive always wanted to be. I believe the earth is constantly changing and humans have the ability to come together to elicit positive changes. Both environmentally and culturally.
In 2010, I wrote weekly articles on my environmental views. This was a fantastic way to start to educate those who unconsciously turn a blind eye to what their knowledge is devoid of.
I am learning an immense amount of information and everyday get to fulfill my passion. I am participating in a research project to photograph identify Eastern Australin Humpback whales. With this, we hope to learn more about individual species and the delicate processes associated with their seasonal annual migrations.
One person can make a difference.. together we change the world!

Its been awhile..
Hello all..
Sorry its been quite awhile since my latest update (over a year). I've been on a journey to Australia getting my Masters degree in Marine Science and Management. I am half way through my course and loving every minute in Australia. I am attending Southern Cross University in Coffs Harbour NSW and am working under the head scientists in Ocean and Marine conservation as well as special contributors to the Blue Planet/Planet Earth documentries.
Hear A Naturalist - Article 9
Imagine an Ocean without whales, dolphins, tuna, sharks, shrimp, lobster, crab, kelp...you name it! - All gone because of our insatiable desires and hunger for more. Every creature on this planet is a part of a delicate ecosystem in which species flourish or decline according to the conditions in which they coexist. Like a chain reaction, the loss of one species can lead to the degradation of life as we know it. Phytoplankton - the smallest, most valued organism in the Ocean provides food and life for not only marine animals but for us as well. Helping to provide the air we breathe.

Offshore drilling was banned for decades after a 1969 spill off the Santa Barbara coast. Then there was the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill, and now video of the gushing well in the Gulf of Mexico, suggests that 800,000 gallons of oil is pouring into our Ocean on a daily basis as opposed to the 200,000 gallons thought originally. This horrific incident is now the worse environmental disaster EVER and coincidently happened to occur on Earth Day. One can only imagine the devastation that is yet to come of this.
