James Brady+FollowSunken Ship Now an Oyster Sanctuary!Did you hear about the 1906 shipwreck off Belgium’s coast that’s now packed with rare flat oysters? Scientists just loaded 200,000 oyster larvae into the old wreck to help bring back North Sea biodiversity. These oysters will create reefs that clean the water and give fish and other sea creatures a new home. Only about 30,000 are expected to survive, but if they do, they’ll start a whole new reef! Who knew shipwrecks could be ocean life’s comeback story? #Science #MarineLife #Oceans40Share
Michael Flores+FollowMicroplastics Found Where Humans Can’t Go?!Turns out, even the most protected beaches in Brazil—where humans aren’t allowed—are full of microplastics. Scientists checked oysters and mussels in these no-go zones and still found plastic bits in every single sample. It’s wild how this stuff travels through air and water, ending up in our seafood and even the air we breathe. Skipping single-use plastics helps, but experts say only a global crackdown (like the UN’s upcoming plastics treaty) can really fix this mess. Would you support a global ban? #Microplastics #PlasticPollution #Oceans #Science81Share
