Can’t wait to see this magazine that I’m featured in! ❤️🧜🏽‍♀️❤️

I watched this profound, heart touching film this weekend & I’d like to ASK MY AUDIENCE TO PLEASE WATCH IT TOO! Sir David Attenborough breaks down the importance of WHY WE NEED A HEALTHY OCEAN TO SURVIVE as human beings! This is a truly INSPIRING & eye-opening film, which I feel like every human should watch to become educated to these very basic & important truths! 🐋

The ocean is a vast, living & breathing being, which is currently being horrifically over fished with bottom trawlers killing ecosystems which have thrived for thousands of years!

We protest the deforestation of the Amazon, yet the ocean surface is covered with bottom trawlers killing every living creature in its wake. 😱

I admit with this current administration I have become a bit numb to the endless barrage of bad environmental news & world events & I have not posted as often about my passion: ocean conservation. It can all be a bit overwhelming, you know?

After watching this powerful film, it rekindled the flame for me to share what speaks to me so deeply. Just because you cannot see what is in in the ocean, which covers 70% of our planet, it does not mean it is not valuable. In fact, the opposite is true, the ocean contributes between 50 to 85 percent of the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere, primarily through tiny ocean plants called phytoplankton. These organisms perform photosynthesis, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

Please take 90 minures of your precious moments to watch it and let me know what you think. 🙏🏽

Change cannot occur unless we are truly educated & aware of how intricate & fragile these ecosystems are. Apathy will not create change, awareness does!

Mahalo for listening and for caring. I’ll post a link in the comments for where to watch it. 🧜🏽‍♀️

🎉 Friends, I did a thing! I got a most glorious silicone tail! 🎊

This was a BIG deal to me & one that I put a lot of thought into. Her tails are so special, realistic & I could immediately see how much love, care & attention that dear MerChrissi puts into them. I decided to take the plunge, order one, have it created & then shipped all the way from Germany to Kaua’i, Hawaii! 🏝️

👉🏽 I recently created a 11 minute unboxing video (a first for me!) that’s on my YouTube channel. Check it out by going to my .kauai.mermaid bio, Linktree & click on ‘MerChrissi Tail Unboxing Video’ 👈🏽

Please let me know what you think of the video & tail by liking, commenting & subscribing to my channel if inspired.

Mahalo MerChrissi for the GORGEOUS tail! I can’t wait to share its glory in the gorgeous Hawaiian ocean soon. 🌺

🏝️ I’m thinking of Lahaina, Maui today on the two year anniversary of the devastating Maui fires that ripped through the community on August 8, 2023. 🔥

There are still so many that are suffering with incredible trauma and who have not been supported after losing their homes, ohana and friends after the tragedy. ♥️

May there be healing for the land, the ‘aina of this sacred island & the community that dearly needs it.

Please don’t forget Lahaina. Keep Lahaina strong 🌺

These two sets of photos were taken in 2025 and 2023 set against the gorgeous West Maui Mountains, right by Lahaina.

Her heart is wisdom skinned
and wit warmed splendor,
the echoes of a war cry holding
its four chambers together.

She rises like Athena
on a night of victory dancing.
She rises like the blood moon
in a sky of a thousand nebulae bursting.

This poem seemed fitting for such a stunning photo by the talented taken at 📸 What an epic underwater edit this is! 🔥

Mahalo everyone for the well wishes with the recent tsunami scare on the Hawaiian islands 🙏🏽

We were very fortunate to not be affected, though it was certainly scary! I was actually on an airplane flying to Northern California & was hearing about it from high in the sky. It was a trip to be witnessing it from far away. I’m relieved all is okay and it’s such a relevant wake up call to the fragility of our human existence upon a powerful & changing Earth. We all are existing on this beautiful marble of a planet and none of us are exempt for these transformational times. We are all connected. 🌎

I’m with my ohana (family) experiencing a profound experience with welcoming my first grand baby into the world. It’s an experience beyond worlds and I’m grateful to be present to witness it and bond with her. What a special little being she is! ♥️

Sending love & aloha from the continent. 🙌🏽
