Water quality off Miami Beach is shit—quite literally—with 10x safe levels of enterococci bacteria reported this week, largely due to leaky septic systems in rising groundwaters. If you are local consider contacting Mayor Levine-Cava to demand county sewers. 🌊 @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

I’m a big beautiful science nerd researching how ocean currents are spinning off more extreme ocean storms and what that means for marine life. Many unknowns come with change, this is just one tiny detail, and everything is changing so fast. With stakes this high, no wonder we humans are divided.

When we use words, form policies, and take actions against others for the way the world is, we are thinking with our egos and acting on our resentments, instead of thinking with our love and acting on our compassion. The ocean humbles egos and heals resentments.

🌊 Smooth seas this July in the Gulf Stream as it passes thru Florida Straits. This is our final cruise of the C-Streams experiment to quantify nutrient and carbon fluxes in the Stream and understand their effect on downstream productivity and anthropogenic carbon uptake. @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

🌊 In the water and on the water. The ocean is VAST, more than twice the area of all the continents put together. Plus an astounding 4 km deep, more than 5 times the world’s tallest building. And still, we 8 billion humans are changing every interconnected corner of it.

All at sea again! How do we capture km-scale processes and approach within meters of a rocky sea wall at 200 m depth while swept along in the rushing Gulf Stream?
