It's National Oyster Day!
Ways to properly thank an oyster:
- Keep waste out of the water
- Avoid using fertilizers in your home and garden
- Do not walk on or pull your boat onto oyster reefs
- When boating, obey speed signs and stay slow through oyster reefs
- A love letter
Earth's oceans are constantly changing—so for #WorldOceansDay, @NASAGoddard scientists took data from our Earth-tracking satellites and transformed these ebbs and flows into music. https://t.co/Db5PGbhjhY
Here's a sneak preview:
Today is #WorldOceansDay!
The ocean & cryosphere regulate the climate & weather, provide food & water, support economies, trade & transportation, shape cultures & influence our well-being.
Find out how #Climatechange affects the ocean & cryosphere ➡️ https://t.co/VTe3PIqcZH
The ocean is the greatest ally in our efforts to address the climate crisis, generating 50% of the oxygen we need & absorbing 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions.
Wednesday's #WorldOceansDay is a reminder of the urgency to #SaveOurOcean. https://t.co/wmZGFeZOZE
Happy #WorldOceansDay 🦈! Many of us at Albedo found our way here through studying ocean science, so this day means a lot to us! If you're able, take some time today to learn a bit about the ocean and ways we can take individual and collective actions toward a healthier ocean!
Take some time this week to appreciate your local bees and (if you can) take some steps to help protect them - after all spring is the perfect time!
Check out our blog post for tips on what you can do to help out the bees!

Bees are the pollinators of our world. Without them, our livelihoods, diets, and mental health would suffer dramatically. Any steps that we can take, whether individually or collectively, we need to take to protect this species.
As climate change influences more intense and extreme weather along the coasts, many are worried about sea-level rise and erosion on our shores. But, a new study has shown that extreme weather events could actually protect beaches. https://t.co/vfocyrqFTd
It’s Friday, which means climate news! Here’s what we bring to you this week:
Ocean-Sanctuaries and Coral Reefs
Forest Restoration and the Global Water Cycle
Antarctic Sea Ice
Extreme Weather Events Restoring Beaches
Rapid Antarctic Ice Melt has made headlines recently, but researchers have found that floating ice shelves offshore of the eastern Antarctic Peninsula have advanced over the past 20 years. https://t.co/1zhOe4u9N6 (really dives into sea ice science!)
