Definitely a harbor seal

[U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service @USFWS]

Choose your character!

Harbor Seal
Shy and prefers a quiet corner. A homebody.
Water babe. Loves naps in the sun.
Needs space or will leave.

Elephant Seal
Loud and competitive, especially the men.
Either at sea for 9 months of the year or napping on a beach.

The isopod Idotea metallica (Bosc, 1801) was not named after the band, but given it’s thrashing appearance, we suspect it went the other way. Often found in Flotsam and Jetsam, this contrasts with Metallica bassists. #metallica #FridayFacts @inaturalist

🐟 Rough Silverside (Membras martinica) makes 82 fish species recorded in our Rhode River surveys of 40 years. Rough Silverside look similar to Atlantic Silverside, but can be differentiated by their rough scales. Salinities are up & we expect to see more rare species. #chesbay

[Emily Anderson @E_Andersonii]

And there was much rejoicing 🎉

[SERC Fisheries Conservation Lab @SERCfisheries]

This week, @E_Andersonii and @McelhinnyJulia celebrated the end of #SAV field season 🎉 They completed a full Rhode River SAV survey, visiting over 100 sites along the shoreline by boat (and canoe!!) to look at the spatial distribution of underwater grass beds. #ChesBay

[Emily Anderson @E_Andersonii]

@NicoleRFoster @SImarineGEO @smithsonian @marine_marconi @thehemi65 This looks so much nicer than our sampling day :(

[Emily Anderson @E_Andersonii]

Itty bitty baby!

[SERC Fisheries Conservation Lab @SERCfisheries]

The #Chesbay is finally seeing some rain this week after a long dry spell. The salinities in the upper regions of the bay have been high for this time of year (12) which means we get to see some more exciting species. #serclt
