"Did you know that Canadian law allows boats and ships to dump untreated sewage directly into the ocean just three nautical miles (5.6 km) offshore?" - important call to action from Anna Santo and @natashaklasios of UBC's Ocean Leaders program https://t.co/8r0pBZ9KxN

Hello #twitterverse! I'm seeking help on an @oceanleaders project to make a list of our top #ocean #documentaries. Some of my recent watches are Albatross and A Plastic Ocean, both very potent #oceanplastics stories. I'd love to hear other top picks!! Please comment 😊🐠🐚🌊

Using cumulative human impact models, @projectseahorse researchers found that 5 of 17 seahorse species where the conservation status was previously unknown were actually under threat. https://t.co/Lla5bTL6F8 @Harry01301 @AmandaVincent1 @oceanleaders @ZoologyUBC @ubcscience

An MSc is all about experiential learning. Last week I learned about ferry induced wave force in a "protected" site while installing an experiment with the help of @sandraemry and @invertebroad! Sometimes you just have to pick up your tidepools and re-install! @oceanleaders
