Most of the fish and shellfish eaten in the US spend some or all of their life in estuaries. @NOAAHabitat’s work restoring estuaries helps protect these species—and the jobs and communities they support. #iheartestuaries
Each spring, our staff and volunteers venture into local creeks to collect data about habitat health. They also monitor for aquatic bugs that act as bio-indicators, telling us how clean the waters are. See the results from our 2019 survey in our blog! https://t.co/L0OfjYCvrF
Will you join us? We're working to free our beaches, trails, parks, and other public spaces from trash! Just bring a bag or your next adventure and scoop up litter along the way.
The bay thanks you! Tag us in your pickup pictures and we'll retweet. #2minutebeachclean
It was a pleasure talking with @MonicaLVaughan and @DavidMiddlecamp of the @SLOTribune about Morro Bay's salt marsh and the threat it faces from sea level rise. Thank you for sharing the story of this rare and essential natural habitat!
Today I’m out in the field reporting on sea level rise. Some models project 2 meter rise by 2100, which would cover this salt marsh in Morro Bay. Touring with @MorroBayNEP. Story soon w/ better photos from @DavidMiddlecamp
#Monarchs are back on the CA Coast, but there are fewer of them than ever. Why the decline? Find out & see how you can help during the Thanksgiving Count. Now to 12-8. https://t.co/DbEIt7q8xR Pic by Dagmar Collins via Flickr https://t.co/9O0RKZKFj2. CC 2.0 https://t.co/vWiMsisWjb
Stop by the #CalPoly pier this Saturday between 9AM & 2PM to see marine life up close, learn about new research, and enjoy interactive displays. #handsonlearning#marinescience#research https://t.co/TYrk0Fr6pe
Thanks @SLOCountyPWD for this reminder about the hazards of stormwater runoff! When you park at work or home, make it a habit to pick up any trash you see in the gutter or a nearby storm drain, and bring it to a trashcan. It'll take 30 seconds and make the #firstflush cleaner!
Did you know the first rain of the season creates some of the most polluted stormwater runoff? Pollutants accumulate during the dry season and create runoff called the #FirstFlush of #Stormwater. We'll be posting more tips on how you can help prevent stormwater pollution!
