Urchins can eat a lot of lettuce! Marine ecosystems can be thrown out of balance when there are too many (or too little) of them #urchins #kelp #scubascience #ocean #oceanscience #marinebiology
‘The forgotten forest’: how smashing 5.6m urchins saved a California kelp paradise
Pollution, warm oceans and hungry urchins devastated Pacific kelp. Now, thanks to divers with hammers, one of the world’s most successful rehabilitation projects has helped it rebound

Brilliant work by Katy Croff Bell- revolutionizing benthic imaging in the deep sea! Can’t wait to see footie

Want to see the bottom of the ocean? Deep-sea explorer Katy Croff Bell has a tool for that.
We know next to nothing about 99.999 percent of the seafloor. How one researcher plans to democratize deep-sea exploration.

Yayyyyyyyy!!!! A federal judge has blocked the transfer of any additional immigrant detainees to a detention site in the Florida Everglades and ordered much of the facility to be torn down.

Feather duster worms (Bispira brunnea). These like to cluster in groups, which is why they are also called “social feather dusters”

Nurdles act like tiny sponges for toxins in the environment- a growing concern for wildlife.

Buoyant, the size of a lentil and almost impossible to recover: how nurdles are polluting the oceans
Millions of the tiny plastic pellets are being washed up on the coast of Kerala in India in the latest in a series of global spills, as plastic treaty talks continue in Geneva

Silky sharks are so pretty! They like to hang out under fish aggregating devices and are super common bycatch as a consequence, more than almost any other species 🦈☠️😭

Yellow colonial tunicate aka sea squirt (Botrylloides violaceus). They start out life looking kind of like a tadpole and then turn into… this.

Another critter you could easily miss, a sharkeye moonsnail (Neverita duplicata). Don’t overlook the sand flats :)
