This is a paper nautilus, an open-ocean octopus that creates a delicate, paper-thin shell for protection and buoyancy. They live off the coast of California in the ocean’s twilight zone, where faint light filters through the midwater. 🌊🦑 #TwilightZone #PaperNautilus #DeepSea #California

This bright yellow buoy is part of the @csulbsharklab’s cutting-edge shark monitoring network along California’s coast. Powered by solar panels, it listens for acoustic tags on juvenile white sharks and instantly alerts lifeguards and researchers when one swims close to shore.

The great photographer Sebastião Salgado has died. He was one of my heroes. When I was with the New York Times in Europe, I had the rare pleasure of spending a day with him at his Paris studio, discussing his powerful body of work and a project he was undertaking with Indigenous communities. RIP.
