“[Blue crabs] probably shaved 3 weeks at either end,” said @TomAtCBL, who heads @UMCES’s #Chesapeake Biological Lab. “So their winter has gone from 5 months, down conservatively to 4 months, possibly to as little as 3.5 months.” https://t.co/AZGcEU4g53

Nearly a century ago, when pioneering crab biologist Reginald Truitt was working with the Bay’s blue crabs, the crustaceans spent nearly five months burrowed into mud as they hibernated during cold months...

Times, & temps, have changed https://t.co/AZGcEU4g53 @ChesBayJournal

#Dolphins will adjust their calls in the face of underwater noise pollution, with Helen Bailey, research professor at @UMCES, describing it to the BBC as “similar to when we shout louder when we are talking in a noisy bar.” https://t.co/zqKCIeG3Ic

🍬🌊🥤How does #microplastic accumulate in the global ocean?

🌊👶🧓Why do we have to rethink the age of the deep #ocean?

Dr. Micheael Gonsior explores all this and more during his interview with @finding_genius!

...the effects of #NoisePollution could reverberate all across the animal kingdom, says Benjamin Colbert, a researcher at @UMCES CBL 🐬 🔊 👨‍🔬

“Clearly there are some species—#dolphins, tooth #whales, killer whales— that use [sound] for hunting prey, & quieter oceans are important for them” says Colbert of @UMCES CBL. “But there are so many animals that haven’t been studied at all.” 🐬 🔊 👨‍🔬 https://t.co/SzDHNgV8XC

In 2022, the #Arctics sea ice extent was well below the long-term average. Most regions continued to show increased ocean plankton blooms, or ocean primary productivity.

As sea ice is diminishing, #Arctic maritime ship traffic is increasing

Understanding this change in relation to coastal community welfare, the dynamics of natural systems & socioeconomic development will be critical to informing decisions

“There's too much mortality in the #ChesBay on males & subadult females owing to the interaction of warming, hook & release mortality, & disease. Summer has never been a hospitable time 4 these individuals, but it’s gotten considerably worse” ~ @SecorLab https://t.co/G86feizcsV

“There are some things that [#StripedBass] don’t have going for them, that they did when they recovered so many years ago,” says @SecorLab of new challenges facing rockfish in the #Chesapeake. Read his thoughts on #InvasiveSpecies, #ClimateChange & more https://t.co/hR8p7w09Tv

What does the North Pole really look like? ❄️🔬🚢👩‍🔬🎅

Human-caused #ClimateChange is having an ever-increasing effect on the Arctic. From the ocean to the air, warming trends are increasing.

Scientists Lee Cooper & Jackie Grebmeier have been visiting the #Arctic on research expeditions for more than 30 years, but they have never visited the North Pole. Until now... 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬❤️❄️🌊🚢🔬 https://t.co/69D4T68DPn
