Hi, Sally! ❤️👋🦀

🦀 Meet the Sally lightfoot crab!

These crabs start life as duller shades, but with each molt they undergo, their color gets brighter and brighter until it reaches vivid hues like these!

This #PlasticFreeJuly, speak up for marine life. 🗣️ 🦭

Every year, ~33 billion lbs of plastic enter our oceans, where marine animals can mistake it for food or become entangled in it.

Take action today and help keep our oceans full of life—not plastic: https://t.co/9TO4gQBCoN

Happy #SharkAwarenessDay! 🦈

In honor of these iconic predators, we're celebrating with a couple of our favorite shark facts.

Were you aware that there are 520+ species of sharks & that some sharks can tolerate freshwater and travel up rivers? 🤯

#DYK that plastic beverage bottles are among the most common items found during beach cleanups? 😮

This #PlasticFreeJuly, bring a reusable water bottle and refill instead of reaching for single-use plastics.

Every refill counts!

It's #NationalLoveYourSkinDay! 😎

A day on the water is always better when you're protected from the sun. Before heading out, remember to apply (and reapply) broad-spectrum sunscreen, wear UPF clothes & don't forget your hat and sunnies.

Healthy sailors start with healthy skin!

We love these incredible corals! 😍🪸

[Oceana Canada @OceanaCAN]

Cold-water corals thrive in the cold, dark depths of the ocean, from 50 to 4,000 metres below the surface. Found in deep waters across Canada, including off the Central Coast of British Columbia, these ancient, slow-growing colonies provide essential habitat for marine life.

Happy Fourth of July!

As we celebrate 250 years of this country, we're reminded that from sea to shining sea, America’s oceans, waves, and beaches are worth protecting.

Enjoy the fireworks, the beach time, and the celebration.

Tomorrow morning, Surfrider volunteers across the country will be picking up trash at our annual Dirtiest Beach Day of the Year cleanups.

If you already signed up, check your email for your cleanup location and start time. Most cleanups kick off early (7:00 to 9:00 AM), so set that alarm.

And if you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late!

Stars, stripes, and sea lights! 🎆 🪼

Meet the #CombJelly, the ocean's own fireworks display. As it swims, rows of tiny, comb-like plates refract light to create a shimmering rainbow effect.

Let's celebrate by helping keep our waters clean. 💙
