Thank you for watching this week's video : Baby Surf and Swim Lessons with 3 yr old Cali. We love our Hawaii routine! AND VERY SPECIAL THANKS to Netflix for supporting this video : We embarked on an at-home mission to watch the new interactive movie "Animals on the Loose: A You vs. Wild Movie"! With family-friendly choices around every corner, we guided Bear Grylls through his adventures as he wrangled the animals back to safety while we called the shots from the comfort of our living room.
Watch Animals on the Loose: A You vs. Wild Movie, only on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/81205737
Sending LOVE to you all around the world!
Sincerely, The Bucket List Family

At the heart of tidal movements are the gravitational forces exerted by the moon and the sun, coupled with the Earth's rotation. These forces create predictable patterns of rising and falling sea levels known as tides. Understanding the mechanics behind tides and how they interact with ocean currents is essential for harnessing their potential as a sustainable energy source.
The moon's gravity plays a pivotal role in generating tidal forces. As the moon orbits the Earth, its gravitational pull creates bulges in the ocean's surface, resulting in high tides. Conversely, areas perpendicular to these bulges experience low tides. This cyclical process influences sea levels and drives the movement of ocean currents, forming the foundation for tidal energy generation.
Ocean currents are continuous, directed movements of seawater generated by various factors, including wind, salinity, and temperature differences. These currents are integral to the distribution of marine life and nutrients. When combined with tidal forces, ocean currents create dynamic environments ripe for tidal energy extraction. By strategically placing turbines in these high-current areas, we can capture kinetic energy to produce clean electricity.
Rising sea levels, a consequence of climate change and thermal expansion, pose significant threats to coastal communities. Elevated sea levels exacerbate coastal erosion, increasing vulnerability to storms and flooding. Implementing tidal energy solutions not only provides sustainable power but also contributes to coastal protection by mitigating erosion through controlled water movement.
Coastal erosion undermines infrastructure, natural habitats, and economies. Sustainable practices, such as restoring mangroves and constructing seawalls, can help counteract erosion. Integrating tidal energy projects with these initiatives offers a dual benefit: generating renewable energy while reinforcing coastal defenses against the relentless forces of nature.
Tidal energy stands out as a reliable and predictable form of renewable energy. Unlike wind or solar power, tides follow consistent schedules influenced by lunar cycles, ensuring a stable energy supply. Investing in tidal energy infrastructure not only reduces our dependence on fossil fuels but also paves the way for a greener, more resilient energy landscape.
Countries like the United Kingdom and South Korea are leading the charge in tidal energy innovation, demonstrating successful implementations and significant energy outputs. These success stories highlight the viability and scalability of tidal energy projects. Looking forward, advancements in turbine technology and energy storage solutions promise to enhance the efficiency and economic feasibility of tidal energy, making it a cornerstone of global sustainability efforts.
Harnessing tidal movements offers a unique opportunity to tap into the Earth's natural rhythms for sustainable energy and coastal protection. By understanding and leveraging the intricate dance between tides, ocean currents, and lunar forces, we can create a harmonious balance between human needs and environmental stewardship. Embracing tidal energy not only addresses current energy challenges but also safeguards our shorelines for future generations.
