Did you know a halocline is where fresh and salt water meet? Since the salt water is more dense, the waters separate to create two distinct layers!

Have you heard of fish fraud? Not a topic we covered in class, but can an impact on conservation efforts for protected species. #MarEnvS19

It's not just marine animals who are losing due to mirco plastics, we have to be careful too!

It's possible that humans may be consuming anywhere from 39,000 to 52,000 microplastic particles a year https://t.co/fG2kNZ7mWH

Dugongs are one of the only herbivorous marine mammals. They have a down turned snout and flat teeth to munch away at seagrass. This one looks a little suspicious though...

One third of sea turtles are likely to have eaten plastic in their habitat. Let's work to keep their home clean!

Always be on the look out for sneaky mircoplastics! #MarEnvS19

Otters are the smallest marine mammal! They keep warm and dry by trapping air beneath their fur.

A little out dated but a super neat video about CO2 in the atmosphere. Did you know that the oceans act as the world's largest carbon sink?

@mollysheridan11 Sadly even trying to recycle isn't enough sometimes. Some cities will put recycling out to make people feel better, but end up throwing it all in landfills.

These devastating rainforest fires affect our oceans too! The large amount of CO2 being released contributes to the greenhouse effect, and the change in rainfall can alter water patterns and ocean currents!

There have been 2,500 new fires in the Amazon in the last 48 hours.

The world's largest remaining rainforest has faced:

▪️ At least 9,500 fires since last Thursday
▪️ An 83% increase in forest fires over 2018

It's whale season in Sydney!🐋
Did you know that humpback whales sometimes work together to create bubble nets to catch prey?
