It's officially manatee season in Florida, and we are reminding everyone to practice safe boating; watch for manatee speed zone changes, as manatees are also frequently struck by boats. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #ManateeMonday #ManateeSeaon #Boating

Getting in an early morning cleanup before the crowds. These days, we unfortunately spend way more time doing research, recovery, and restoration of the coasts than discovering and surfing them—but we must confess—we still catch a few waves. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup

In 1961, Bruce Brown, Phil Edwards, and Mike Diffenderfer were on Oahu's North Shore filming “Surfing Hollow Days” and stopped at a surf break amid the Kamehameha Highway construction, where they saw a similarity between the line of breaking waves and the concrete pipes.

As young SoCal surfers, trips to Baja were frequent; the border was fluid then, particularly at the beach. Good surf, music, cheap cerveza & mariscos (beer & shellfish) …to quote Eagles, “the warm smell of colitas rising up through the air.” #WetTribe #ThrowbackThursday #Retro #Surfing

Research finds microplastics in whales. Whales ingest vast amounts of plastic, from millions of microplastic particles daily in their prey to larger items they mistake for food. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WhaleWednesday #Whales #PlasticIngestion #Microplastics

Most of the pollution running into the seas off the southern coast of the US comes from rivers, exposing critical wildlife habitats to growing threats from microplastics and other pollutants. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #MicroplasticMonday

There is a reason ‘Gales of November’ is a coastal saying… It has turned cold, or at least windy, at many of our usual cleanup sites. So, after getting sandblasted for about an hour, we’re calling off the cleanup for some indoor research. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #SaturdayMorning #Cleanup #Research

Ocean Acidification is advancing faster than we previously warned. Research reveals that CO2 in deeper waters, thought to be more protected from acidification, is outpacing the increase in greenhouse gases. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #Research #FridayFieldUpdate

There are no specific reports of the impact of Hurricane Melissa on endangered manatees in Jamaica; however, based on data from other hurricanes, manatees typically seek shelter in wetlands and mangroves, which provide some protection from storms. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #ManateeMonday #Jamaica

Panama’s ocean cycle has collapsed for the first time in 40 years. Winter trade winds cause upwelling in the Gulf of Panama, bringing nutrient-rich water to support marine life, but this year that process did not occur. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #Oceanography

November's “Beaver Moon” was named by certain Native American tribes for the time of year when beavers build their winter dams. It is a supermoon, at the closest point to Earth in its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter than usual. #FullMoon #BeaverMoon
