What I learned from my first snorkelling experience

Earlier this month, I snorkelled for the first time, in the Flores Sea of Indonesia, a part of the coral triangle. Here are some of the things I learned.

The comic appears in my column with Mid-Day today. Prints available on my webstore here.

Sea Turtles of the World

Know your sea turtles with this brand new illustrated poster on World Turtle Day (23rd May). There are 7 extant species- the Loggerhead, Green, Hawksbill, Flatback, Olive Ridley, Kemp's Ridley and the Leatherback Turtle, the Leatherback being the largest and the Kemp's Ridley, the smallest. Sea turtles are found in every ocean in the world, except at the poles. The Flatback Turtle is the only exception, being restricted to the seas around Australia. 

Most sea turtles are endangered or vulnerable, owing to several threats such as hunting, poaching, loss of habitat and nesting sites, pollution, plastic and fishing debris, and getting caught as bycatch by fishing vessels. 

The compilation is available as posters and a wide range of apparel and merchandise on my webstore here.

Say no to Straws

All it takes to refuse a plastic straw is to say "No", when you're served one. That's simple, isn't it?
