A message from Our owner...
"Why do we abate ourselves and our minds? Why do we succumb to societal pressures? What must we do to become transcendent?
​
Could it be just as easy to change our perception? If the key is as simplistic as this self fulfilling Paradox; how is it the source of such disparity and grief?
​
This urging that seems to utter and beckon our names to go forth and achieve; to what avail?
​
Some seem to fall naturally into their given cosmic rhythm and some must fight to identify their Destiny" ~Goddard
​
With this in mind; it shows the fight ahead and necessitates Our part within the cosmic hierarchy. What we do moving forth is up to Our Actions!
​
Act on your passions and dreams!
International Clean Up the World Weekend
Now that habitable land for world wide species is slowly dwindling into micro clusters throughout the world, clean up and preservation of these areas are now essential to the Earth's sustained Biome.
​
This collaborative effort must remain one of all of ours collectively for the Planet's sustained success. Methodologies in strategies are existent and are adapting slowly. With technologies such as GPS for mapping local area cleanups, internet for establishing participation for environmental clean up events.
​
Working with employers and venues finding the best clean up protocols & methodologies providing proper disposal and recycling Guidance.
​
Working within nature and these Biome's collectively and interpersonally now is the priority. Rewilding initiatives, implementation of existing technologies and the Generation of New Game Changing Innovations!
​
World Water Monitoring
With the adoption of the, much needed, Water Environment Federation in the early 2000's it has been pontificating to our current capabilities & technologies in monitoring our waterways.
​
The outpour of support and outreach that has predicated from these initial actions taken has been unprecedented. Public awareness, support and programs have been spawning ever since.
​
Many are unaware of such programs as EarthEcho International, adolescents become junior scientists in a collective to monitor local waterways and report their findings on a Global database reporting their findings.
The program has influenced & inspired multitudes of individuals reaching over 1.5 million individuals in over 146 countries to protect their waterways!
​

The Bountiful biodiversity is being protected by the local government, as well as, local businesses. It truly is a collective effort to maintain such a fragile ecosystem.
​
Some local business owners and humanitarians are engaged in cutting-edge research on regenerating the coral reefs. In what ways can we reimagine and redesign methodologies that will aid in these efforts to save this beautiful area of creation!
​
Educational programs aimed at instructing us how to enjoy our leisure time without harming the delicate ecosystem are readily available to all.
​
New Policies are being implemented to allow areas where no contact is allowed on specified islands for habitat stability. Visitors are being encouraged to bring back all garbage, especially all Non-Biodegradable waste!
​
What part can we play in the stability and future of the Maldives?
Celebrating Whale Sharks!
Internationally this Apex Predator primarily feasts upon plankton, a common pelagic microorganism. The sharks manage to consume up to 44 pounds per day. This massive natural regulatory methodology allows the natural oceanic control of the Plankton.
​
Making the Preservation of this wonderfully Unique animal a priority. With the "Fins" and the meat of the animal being a sought after delicacy, the population will continue on a diminish without intervention.
​
The need for an active International Comprehensive collective to begin preservation and regulatory methodologies is long past due. These efforts would play a pivotal role within the revitalization & structurization of their ecosystem.
​
Understanding the fight ahead will better equip us with what is needed to stabilize their Biome in the current day.

​
Happy Dog Day!
Our furry four legged friends are always here to greet us with joy and happiness. They are there for us when happy and sorrowful. These animals are part of our hearts and minds.
​
Dogs aid in the reduction of stress, anxiety and depression. Keeping us active and moving, getting some of us outside in the Sunshine and sometimes the rain.
​
While the oxytocin and dopamine producing effects are evident. With these natural wonderful chemicals creating the much needed Feel-Good effects, our bond with our dogs will last forever.
Our Time Is Now
Composting & Its Benefits!
​
Composting is the act of allowing Organic waste to break down into nutrient-rich soil. Organic scraps like Food Waste, Grass trimmings, Manure, Leaves and Cardboard to name a few are the fundamental component. The materials combined contain Carbon and Nitrogen these factors in conjunction with Air, Water, and other Biological Life create the reaction that leads to success.
Mountain Lion Awareness Day!
On Mountain Lion Awareness Day we attempt to shine a light on this vital & important mission.
​
Throughout the Americas this apex species has continued to be absolutely necessary to our balanced mountainous ecosystem. Bringing awareness to the Mountain Lions' current day struggle to coexist, as well as, facilitating the migration to more stable habitats is important to a more stabilized future.
​
By merely implementing simple protective safeguards our mountain lions population will begin to thrive as a result. This furthers the necessity to strengthen current failing ecosystems and start paving the Way for more protected environments for these families to grow.
​
Participating in events designed to further the continued existence such as fundraisers, clean-up events, rewilding & terra Firma reconstruction, education and of course Outreach.
​
Thank you for your Help & Support in protecting this critical ecosystem!
​

Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem!
Consisting of a multitude of species of tree variations, totaling over 70. With the tenacity of their iconic root structures partially submerged in salt water, yet vicariously are able to not only survive but thrive.
​
Leaves of the various species of trees are inherently thick & wax coated leaves minimizing exposure evaporation. The Mangroves root structures center is hollow and serves as an oxygen siphon twice daily with tidal water fluctuations.
This ecosystem engineer is host to a plethora of miscellaneous vegetation, insect life, Reptiles and Oceanic lifeforms.
​
The root structure vicariously acts as a coastal stabilizer softening the blows of erosion.
​
​
​
The Streamlined Vehicle!
Innovators of the past boasting fuel economy!
​
Sir Dennis Burney rose to infamy as a renowned airship designer whom decided to engineer this beauty after the horrible collapse of the stock market in 1929.
​
This semi-spherical vehicle was centric on three things. The first being Aerodynamics, his design based on air and wind displacement.
​
Secondly the rear positioning of the motor. The streamline was touting a 22 horsepower motor that Burney claimed could reach 180 mph, but could not enviably achieve that modicum of success.
​
Thirdly, weight displacement & efficiency with the entire undercarriage being plated further structuring air drag efficiency.
​
With this vehicle being unsuccessful in its attempts to achieve victory but showed us glimpses into the Artists. A mind forward focused on changing the world for the better.
Aerodynamics to Efficiency, Sir Dennis Burney was a true innovator!
National Clean Beaches Week!
National Clean Beaches Week, reminds us of the collective worldwide efforts now underway providing clean beaches for life to flourish and grow.
​
We all aspire for our beaches to the heights of cleanliness as in Seagrass Bay, Laucala Island, Fiji. Maintaining our Beaches has positive lasting causal effects on local marine environments. Worldwide beaches are host to a varying multitude of essential species; those beaches provide the key for animals such as turtle nesting spots to maintaining seabird populations.
​
With all of that In mind, humankind's footprint has cast a vast shadow that requires attention, innovation and hard work to attain rectification. From the most simplistic actions to the most complex, these Actions provide much-needed reductions in environmental decline. To the future of garbage collecting sea drones and worldwide connected cleaning collectives. Our futures are full of promise. We just need to Build It!
The World Rainforest Day!
On this day in 2017, The Rainforest Partnership created “The World Rainforest Day”, In awareness of our rapidly depleting rainforests. With threats looming such as Mining, Over Logging and drastic agricultural alterations causing the ramped decline in not only Trees but entire ecosystems, biome destabilization and predicate mass animal displacements.
​
With the loss of land, that not only contains ingredients for anti-cancer medications but could hold the answers to more unanswered aliments. Finding alternatives to the utilization of timber in construction alone would cause a drastic reduction in the deforestation of our rainforests. By finding cost-effective alternatives, these future Innovations will help our world in many ways!
​
Remember you are the innovators, designers, scientists, support teams; just to name a few!

National Horseshoe
Crab Day!
National Horseshoe Crab Day!
This unsuspecting Endangered species has a profound ecological function on this planet. The horseshoe crab is a marine chelicerate arthropod that lives in shallow coastal waters on soft sea floors.
​
Many common threats to the species' future survival are food overharvesting, loss of habitat and biomedical testing procedures. The Horseshoe crab is vital to coastal ecological biodiversity. Their ability to generate eggs to feed wildlife is impressive.
​
Along with that their shells are host to other pelagic organisms such as snails & sponges. Maintaining all fundamental ecological links in all areas of dense horseshoe crab populations.
​
Global collective conservation initiatives have begun but further support and efforts need to transpire. This quintessential link to our sustained pelagic survival. Without this fundamental link in our food chain, many other species will become threatened as well.
​
As you know here at Goddard Dynamics we always stress Action! So, if you have the passion and the ability to predicate change please do so.
​

World Sea Turtle Day!
​
The Sea Turtles Struggle - World Sea Turtle Day!
With constant environmental changes natural and those predicated by humankind bodes the Question; What is happening with the Sea Turtle and it habitats?
​
First and foremost the struggle begins with the treacherous and arduous journey the Female Sea Turtle experiences. When she finally arrives at the area in which to lay her eggs, 100's of eggs are produced and only the rare few survive is the unfortunate Truth. Continuing efforts are being made to spread awareness and protect these sacred areas.
​
Needing a more innovative approach, in real time, to monitor Oceanic Biological Activities to aid in the prevention of the process of Commercial Fishing equipment and their methodologies. By rethinking accepted traditional methods we, like the innovators of the past, need to challenge lax status quos and utilize technologies we need to change the entire process of Commercial Fishing.
​
With the above mentioned, keep in mind the duality of the Human Element, with the Illegal Trade decimating populations so a Few Individuals can have personal "Trophies". Better and more profound International laws need to be implemented as well as the need to be Very Strictly Enforced. As some larger companies and wealthy individuals just see the penalties "Like Pennies they Have to Pay" to get the Trophies they want. In reality, there is not a Large Enough Population to support the "Trophy Hunting Crowd"!
​
Aside from the well known above mentioned factors that threaten the continuation and perpetual advancement to our friends of the Seas', Innovations to advance the current practices and methodologies need to be designed, created and implemented with technologies specifically allocated for Our Friends of the Seas.
​
This should be a Priority project of Others with the innovative and Inspiring Minds to propel the Change!
Your Road to Stabilized
Recovery Is Here!
