With over 3000 species of shrimp now classified, it’s hard to define what is a “normal” looking shrimp. But this one definitely felt a bit “abnormal”. It kept its telson curled way up by its head, and its swimmerets were pumping a mile a minute like it really had somewhere to be!

A lovely mallard that quacked at us while we walked through the park, then some geese and their babies we happened to notice. The goose on the left kept stretching to size us up 😨

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies.
There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

Youths may not believe this, but there was a time when there wasn’t so much news!

Imagine reading only one thing in a whole day! That’s what they took from us.

The wrongest belief about the deep sea is wronger than you know
More people care about marine biodiversity and saving the ocean than ever before. But progress towards evidence-based conservation is hindered by widespread public misunderstanding of the key issue…
