In honor of the upcoming National Haiku Poetry Day, I asked some of my most creative colleagues here at Ocean Conservancy to prepare a haiku poem inspired by our daily work to help protect our ocean from its greatest challenges. Which one is your favorite? Share with us your own special haiku for our ocean on Twitter!
moonlit migration
giants swimming to shelter
warmer waters soon
Spring ice, fish, bear, bird
The circuit of Arctic life
Energy transformed
Oil slicked the waters
Nine years ago in the Gulf
Today, we restore.
-Trishna Gurung
Alaska tide pool
Cold water spills over boot
A footstep too deep

Iceberg drips in sun
Seal den blue beneath the snow
Changing Arctic spring
Busy crowded coast
Boats and windfarms aplenty
Needs ocean planning
Amid bubble streams
Yellow-striped fish float gently,
Aloof, then swim off
Sunny vacation
yet another plastic straw
better choices now
Ocean, you give us
everything—essential to
our mere existence.
Rising seas encroach
Ocean warming threatens fish
Cut emissions now
