Who is ready for the final??? Looks like Erik isn't #marenvs20 @ErikBerlin_66

Shark populations declined by more than 90% due to sharkfin soup trade. Honestly, there are so many good 'imitation' sharkfin soup made from mushrooms and they taste exactly the same. Stop eating the real thing. When there is no demand, shark finning will stop as well #MarEnvS20

Super interesting article about plastic use in the medical field.

[National Geographic @NatGeo]

Hospitals are filled with sterile single-use plastic. Are there less wasteful ways to keep healthcare hygienic? https://t.co/F9Ft6qhlQ5

Off the coast of Australia an unusual looking stingray is gulping down a feast of crabs

Such an interesting read. Can't believe 6.3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin. #marenvs20

[AP @andy_premium]

“more than 40 percent of it is used just once” the title speaks for itself #marenvs20

Sea squirts! Noticed much more diversity closer to the water today, and these little guys had to be my favorite #marenvs20

Our field trip to Maroubra beach today was very fun and informational. I loved learning about the different types of sand and about the waves! #Marenvs20

[Julia Utkus @JuliaUtkus]

@camillefougere1 We saw dozens washed up on Tamarama Beach the other day... definitely had to tip toe around those guys! #marenvs20

The recent bushfire horror exposed fundamental flaws in the way we treat the land.

First Peoples know the way out of this ecological crisis – if only Australia would listen.

Awesome field trip today at Maroubra Beach learning about dunes, waves, sand, and wind! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s trip! #MarEnvS20

[Julia Utkus @JuliaUtkus]

Rain jackets out in full force for Maroubra! #fieldtrip #marenvs20 @sgric29 @PaigeWh88067071

Being from Philadelphia, it's my natural right to hate on New Jersey, but in this case I can't 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

As the article quotes, "such an example demonstrates that with sufficient political will, it is possible to meet the daunting challenges ahead." Costa Rica is setting a great example for others to follow!

[AP @andy_premium]

If you want some positive stories you should check out this article. e.g. Costa Rica with its economy still growing, was able to derive 98% of its electricity from renewable sources. #marenvs20

Devastating images. We need to start believing the harsh truth about marine pollution. #marenvs20 https://t.co/cnhSz2TapI

[Julia Utkus @JuliaUtkus]

Fun fact about these little guys... these tiny penguins might pinch you with their beaks, twist, and hit you with their flippers! (maybe not so "fun" fact) #marenvs20

[Julia Utkus @JuliaUtkus]

Interesting article about noise pollution! Even subtle noises from ships and construction can be extremely harmful to whales, fish, and all kinds of marine animals. (sneak preview into our movie!) #marenvs20

The fires sweeping Australia have likely doubled the nation’s annual greenhouse-gas emissions, producing as much climate-damaging pollution as all the airplanes in the world, new research shows. #AustraliaOnFire https://t.co/FfmUJ19SnA
