Selamat Datang, Siham Dan Laut & Kita

Word from Ove over on Climate Shifts is that one of his grad students has launched a new science blog focused on the science and conservation of coral reefs. The brainchild of PhD candidate Siham Afatta, the blog is called Laut & Kita (Bahasa Indonesian for Sea & Us) and will be a community blogging effort. Best of all, the blog will be written in Bahasa and addresses a need for making coral reef science and conservation accessible to readers in the heart of The Coral Triangle.

My Bahasa is a little rusty (apologies in advance for the stilted translation), but as Siham describes on this great new blog,

We & Sea is a collection of discussions on environmental conservation. The blog presents not just scientific communication associated with marine ecosystems, but also the political, socioeconomic, cultural, art, and thoughts of the contributors.

Welcome Siham and Laut & Kita! Selamat datang, Siham dan Laut & Kita!
