Another successful #oceanx #YoungExplorersProgram in the books! This was a really fun group of students to teach about #eDNA as we sailed from #GranCanaria to the #Netherlands 🧬🌊

An Atlantic Ancula (𝘈𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘣𝘣𝘰𝘴𝘢) near the mouth of the Piscataqua River off Peirce Island (Portsmouth, NH) for #molluscmonday
This was one of those shots you can’t believe actually turned out because the algae was swaying back and forth so much! #marinelife #macrophotography

The Jonah crab is integral to marine ecosystems, supports a valuable fishery in the northwest Atlantic, and is a model for neuroscience research. It’s also the cover of this month’s issue of G3! #crustacean #genomics #science #marinelife #jonahcrab

Very adorable but very lost 😍
Spotted this juvenile Short Bigeye giving #FindingNemovibes on my last dive in #GloucesterMA. This tropical/subtropical species is typically found between Brazil and North Carolina, so it was a rare sighting this far north!
