Student driver! During lunch break, students took turns playing with Sylvia and checking out Jellies, the bottom of the boat, and some ever-treacherous kelp. #seeiniative #salishsea #STEAM #openexplorer

Took Sylvia out for a spin with some students from the eastside of WA. The charter boat has high freeboard so we tried this. Works great! Pilot Sylvia yourself at the Foss Waterway Seaport Maritime Fest July 27 and 28! #explore #seeiniative #openexplorer

I love days aboard the M/V “My Girl”, helping kids build connections to maritime heritage AND marine bio through science experiments and navigation lessons. Trying out the Earle tomorrow in the Salish Sea, the Live… https://t.co/mI8UAsauqv

Guam Cave Dive - I see a small fish or shrimp, and something creepy on the wall halfway through. A shadow? A crab? https://t.co/xUpo9KFqhd via @YouTube

Guam sits on top of a huge aquifer, riddled with caves carved from sharp limestone Karst. Hiked to a remote water cave today and launched our Trident ROV on her first cave dive! The exploration was a great success, more cave diving is in our future. #openrov #SEEInitiative

Earle had her inaugural dive today in Guam, she was flawless. Love the neutral tether. We explored the marina, checking out a school of tangs hanging out at the base of the piling and some crazy colorful coralline algae and sponges. Impressed. #SEEinitiative #openrov

Major #coralbleaching in Republic of Marshall Islands. Reported down to at least 60' depth, 75% of Acropora, many others affected at both Majuro and Kwajelein. This on top of bleaching in Tuvalu and Gilbert Islands. See more at https://t.co/XNkaG12Hhd

Tridacna PCR forever. What is up with the missing samples? It’s a mystery. #gradschool #marinebio #genetics

[Sylvia A. Earle @SylviaEarle]

With knowing comes caring, and with caring comes the hope that an ocean ethic will arise that will secure a sustainable future for ourselves, our children, and for the sea. There is still time, but not a lot.

FEMA had been on Tinian since the recovery for Super Typhoon Mangkhut. Since then, they noticed the kindness & generosity of the people of Tinian. The FEMA staff wanted to show their appreciation for the hospitality with Halloween candy for the kids. #TinianTough #MarianasStrong
