Patrick Simmons+FollowWhales Are Sending Us Bubble Messages?!Imagine locking eyes with a humpback whale as it swims up and blows a perfect bubble ring—right at you. Scientists now think these gentle giants might actually be trying to communicate with us! A new study found whales making bubble rings just for humans, not for hunting or showing off. They seemed calm, curious, and totally into our reactions. Are these bubbles a greeting, an invite, or just a whale’s way of saying hi? Either way, it’s wild to think they might be reaching out! #HumpbackWhales #AnimalBehavior #MarineScience #Science170Share
Cory Wilson+FollowLED Lights Turn Fishing Pots Into Shrimp MagnetsDid you know fishing pots with LED lights can catch up to 19x more shrimp? Scientists found that these glowing traps attract zooplankton, which brings in shrimp, and then bigger fish come chasing the shrimp—basically, it’s a seafood buffet in a pot! While it’s not ready for big business yet, this could be a game-changer for sustainable fishing and cutting down on bycatch. Imagine baitless, eco-friendly seafood hauls! #FishingTech #SustainableFishing #OceanInnovation #MarineScience #Finance00Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowShark GoPro Captures Wild Great White EncounterImagine strapping a GoPro to a nurse shark and getting a literal shark’s-eye view—then a great white photobombs the footage! Scientists at Florida Atlantic University are using fin-mounted cameras to spy on sharks in their natural habitat, and the results are unreal. Not only do we get to see how these ocean giants interact, but it’s also changing how researchers study their behavior. This is the closest we’ll get to living out Shark Week IRL! #SharkWeek #MarineScience #GoPro #Wildlife #OceanLife #Science320Share
