CleverCactus+Followhow did my tomatoes survive ocean storms and salty air this summer?This summer, my little veggie patch on our cargo ship has totally surprised me. I never thought tomatoes and lettuce could handle salty breezes and wild waves, but here we are—harvesting fresh greens in the middle of the ocean. I started by using deep containers with drainage holes and made sure to water them with filtered water, not seawater. Turns out, giving them a bit of shade during the hottest hours really helps too. Every morning, I check for pests and trim any sad-looking leaves. Watching these plants grow while surrounded by endless blue has been the best stress relief. Plus, nothing beats the taste of a tomato you grew yourself, even if you’re miles from land. #gardening #oceanlife #containerplants50Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowWhy Shark Selfies Are Getting RiskyWildlife selfies are going viral, but experts say getting too close to sharks (or any wild animal) is a recipe for disaster. Shark attacks are rare—only about 100 a year worldwide—but more tourists are risking serious injury for that perfect shot. One Canadian even lost both hands trying to snap a pic! Turns out, sharks usually bite out of self-defense, not aggression. Maybe it’s time we stop blaming the sharks and start rethinking our own behavior in their territory. #SharkSafety #WildlifeAwareness #TravelSmart #OceanLife #Science161Share
James Brady+FollowWhale Baby Bust: What’s Going On?North Atlantic right whales had a rough year—only 11 new calves were born, way below the 50 needed to help the species bounce back. With just 370 of these gentle giants left (and only about 70 moms), scientists are seriously worried. The whales are struggling with fishing gear, ship strikes, and even finding food. But there’s a tiny silver lining: four first-time whale moms! Still, these whales need way more help if they’re going to stick around. #SaveTheWhales #Conservation #EndangeredSpecies #OceanLife #Science380Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowDivers Lose It Over Rare Shark SightingImagine diving off Bali and suddenly a massive, scarred great white shark swims right up to you—then turns to check you out! That’s exactly what happened to a group at Nusa Penida, and their reactions (caught on GoPro) are wild. Great whites are almost never seen here, so this was a true one-in-a-million moment. The divers are still thinking about it months later. Would you freak out or be in awe? Check out the video for their epic underwater freakout! #GreatWhiteShark #DivingAdventures #NusaPenida #WildEncounters #OceanLife #Science13813Share
Michelle York+FollowShe Saved a Shark—With Her Bare Hands!Charity Clark didn’t even hesitate—she jumped off her paddleboard to free a shark tangled in fishing line, all with her bare hands!

Charity says she just acted on instinct, and everyone was all smiles when the shark swam away safe. Would you be brave enough to do this? #SharkRescue #WildlifeHero #FeelGoodNews #ViralVideo #OceanLife #Science441Share
Jerry Clark+FollowIceland's Whaling Pause: What It MeansBig news from Iceland: their main whaling company, Hvalur, just said they're skipping the summer whale hunt. Why? Japan, their main customer, isn't buying much whale meat anymore—there's just not enough demand. This could be a turning point for whaling in Iceland, and honestly, it’s a win for the whales and the ocean. Less hunting means more whales to keep the sea healthy. Maybe it’s time to swap whale steak for sushi! #whaling #Iceland #oceanlife #sustainability #moneytalk #Business10Share

Jessica Hodge+FollowGiant Iceberg Finally Breaks Free!A23a, the world’s biggest iceberg (yep, it’s three times NYC’s size!), just escaped its Antarctic prison after nearly 40 years. This icy beast has been spinning in place for months, but now it’s drifting north into warmer waters—aka the iceberg graveyard. Scientists are geeking out, tracking its journey and studying how its melt might shake up ocean life. Imagine watching a trillion-ton ice cube float off to its epic finale! #IcebergA23a #Antarctica #ClimateScience #NatureWonders #OceanLife #Science20Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowLocals Team Up to Save Beached SharkImagine showing up for a chill beach day and ending up in a wild rescue mission! That’s what happened in South Australia when locals and tourists spotted a massive great white shark stranded in the shallows. Armed with nothing but crab rakes, they worked together for nearly an hour to help the shark get back to deeper water. The craziest part? The shark just let them help, totally calm. Proof that sometimes, even the scariest creatures just need a hand! #WildlifeRescue #GreatWhiteShark #FeelGoodNews #OceanLife #Australia #Science20Share
Jacob Morgan+FollowRare Giant Skates Are Making a Comeback!Okay, this is wild—Britain’s biggest endangered fish, the flapper skate, is suddenly popping up everywhere after being nearly wiped out! Sea anglers pushed for a protected zone, started a no-kill policy, and now they’re snapping pics and logging them in an AI-powered database. The result? Skate sightings are up by as much as 92%! Proof that when people and tech team up, nature can bounce back in a big way. Would you ever catch and release a 200+ pound fish? #ConservationWin #Wildlife comeback #AIforGood #OceanLife #FlapperSkate #Pets30Share
