Shark Whisperer is lying to you: a look into the harmful effects of Ocean Ramsey and shark influencers — Dr. Jack A. Cooper
Ocean Ramsey is undoubtedly one of the most well-known “shark influencers”, whose videos show her free diving and touching wild great white and tiger sharks as she swims right up alongside them. Those...

Octopi camouflage to hunt, avoid predation and more. They use muscles to control chromatophores' pigment sacs, to display different colors and brightness. They also use muscles to change their body shape and to control papillae to alter skin texture.

Happy to keep providing much needed timeline cleanses: yesterday I saw a slug that I've been looking for for a year, one of nature's miracles: MacFarland's chromodorid, a vivid purple nudibranch! Absolutely stunning. 😍 Eats sponges. #socal. 📸Olympus TG6. #tidepooling 🦑🦀

My newest infographic for Whale Scientists 💙
Ever wondered how scientists identify sperm whales? Traditionally, it’s all about capturing photos of their tail flukes when they dive. But what if the whales don’t dive? Enter drones: a game-changer in marine mammal research.

Orcas are now hunting whale sharks – and they're doing it in an astonishing way
A series of new photos and videos captured in the Gulf of California show exactly how the killer whales are hunting the world's largest fish.

This is very cool.
One of the killer whale’s most distinguishing features is its saddle patch: an area of white coloration behind its dorsal fin. Researchers set out to better understand how saddle patches differ in populations around the world.

For Killer Whales, Saddle Patches are Like Fingerprints | Hakai Magazine
Each killer whale has a distinct pattern of pigmentation behind its dorsal fin. How do these patterns vary around the world?

A pod of orcas off the coast of Mexico appears to have learned new skills that help them hunt whale sharks — the world’s largest fish, scientists say.
Researchers found that the pod worked together on four occasions to incapacitate whale sharks and feast on their organs.

Thanks to @oceanauk.bsky.social for coming into parliament recently to talk about what we need to do to restore our marine environments - including more enforcement for our protected areas, especially to stop bottom trawling.

If anyone is interested in getting some basic language to teach to others about the AMOC, I wrote a short article about it 🌊

What is the AMOC?
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a system of ocean currents that circulates water within the Atlantic Ocean, bringing warm water north and cold water south.
