benjaminmeyer+FollowFound a head on the beach. What giant creature did this belong to? 🐠I was walking the Massachusetts Coast this morning and came across this absolute monster. I am attaching a photo of it. I have seen a lot of things wash up on the beach, but nothing this huge or this unsettling. #BeachFind #MassachusettsCoast #Fishing #OceanLife 174124Share
Michael Flores+FollowWhale Goes on Epic Atlantic Road TripA North Atlantic right whale just pulled off a wild 3,000-mile journey from Ireland to Boston! Researchers spotted the same whale off both coasts, which is super rare. This is the first time a right whale was first seen in the eastern Atlantic and then popped up in the west. Scientists say this shows these whales are still exploring old habitats—and it’s a big reminder of how important it is for countries to work together to protect them. #Science #RightWhale #OceanLife110Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowMassive Mollusk Meltdown Off US Coast?Just found out scientists are sounding the alarm about mollusks (think clams, oysters, snails) off the US coast. Their habitats could shrink by over 60% as the planet heats up—bad news for our seafood cravings and ocean health. Turns out, even the toughest species aren’t safe if we don’t cut carbon emissions. On the bright side, groups are hustling to save reefs and protect the ocean’s most resilient spots. Wild how climate change hits everything, right? #Science #ClimateCrisis #OceanLife40Share
martinezlaura+FollowPlastic Trash Islands: Ocean Life’s New Hotspot?The Great Pacific Garbage Patch isn’t just a floating mess—turns out, it’s become a weird new neighborhood for ocean critters! Scientists found that dozens of coastal species are now living, growing, and even reproducing on plastic debris way out in the open sea. These plastic “islands” are letting creatures survive far from shore, mixing up marine life in ways we never expected. Wild, right? Our trash is literally changing the ocean’s ecosystem! #Science #GreatPacificGarbagePatch #OceanLife00Share
