boothconnor+FollowCalifornia’s new sanctuary: 6x Yosemite’s size!A massive stretch of California’s central coast could soon become the first tribally led national marine sanctuary on the U.S. mainland, protecting 7,670 square miles of ocean—six times bigger than Yosemite! What’s unique here is the Chumash and other local tribes would co-manage it with NOAA, blending traditional knowledge with federal resources. This move would finally ban offshore oil drilling in the area, a big win for marine life and local communities facing climate change and pollution. Imagine the impact on fishing, local culture, and the future of our coastline. How do you feel about this new approach to conservation? #News #CaliforniaCoast #MarineSanctuary00Share

This “living fossil” isn’t just a cool science headline—it’s a reminder that our oceans still hold secrets from Earth’s distant past. The discovery happened over 8,000 feet deep, where scientists using high-tech underwater robots found a species that looks almost identical to its ancient ancestors. It’s a huge win for marine research and a wake-up call about protecting deep-sea habitats. What do you think—should we do more to safeguard these mysterious ocean depths? #Science #CaliforniaCoast #LivingFossil70Share
