Pantropical spotted dolphins are amazing to see. Easily mistaken for spinner or even striped dolphins they are in fact quite different! Watch this video to find out how!

@OceanswellOrg @Greenpeace @MCRInt @DrShmoo It takes a village to make a multi-week cetacean survey happen. Meet the village aboard the @Greenpeace #RainbowWarrior who came together to conduct surveys on the high seas of the #IndianOcean. @OceanswellOrg

“Ocean conservation can only be successful if we consider the needs of those dependent on it. That’s why it’s vital to understand the human dimensions of illegal fishing & integrate that understanding into marine policy management” @LasuniGodage @OceanswellOrg #ScientistSpotlight

This week’s #marinemegafaunamonday star is the second-largest fish in the world! Did you know that they are filter feeders with gill rakers (a unique organ that traps their prey)? Unfortunately, they face many threats, resulting in the IUCN declaring them endangered.

These gentle giants, also called “sea cows”are herbivores that consume around 70 kg of greenery! They can live in freshwater and saltwater but tend to stick to shallower, warmer waters. They use squeaking noises to communicate danger or to socialise! #marinemegafaunamonday
