A whale trapped in a fishing net set free by divers. (Sound on!)
Each year, over 300,000 whales, dolphins, die due to entanglement in fishing gear, making it the leading cause of mortality for these marine mammals. Sustainable fishing and ocean cleanup efforts help put an end to this threat. The ocean needs action, not just awareness.

Tiny hero alert! 🐠

Meet the filefish, a small but mighty defender of coral reefs! By feasting on algae, these little guardians allow reefs to thrive. Without them, algae could suffocate corals, disrupting entire marine ecosystems.

Meet the coconut octopus, an amazing species that uses tools to protect itself from predators. This little guy is using a clam shell, which it will clean out and bury in the sand, creating a perfect place to call home. 🐙

🐢 Hawksbill turtles are surprisingly agile swimmers. Unlike other sea turtles, they use alternating strokes of their front flippers, allowing them to maneuver smoothly through tight coral reefs and rocky crevices with remarkable precision.

Meet the Hermit Crab! 🦀
Unlike other crab species, hermit crabs don't have their own carapace or shel. Instead, they live inside empty ones. As they grow, they move to larger shells, and sometimes, they even steal one!

Sea turtles, have recently been observed engaging in social behaviors like "cuddling".
A study by Arizona State University analyzed footage of hawksbill turtles off the coast of Maui, Hawai, showing them nuzzling, head-touching, and even swatting at each other.

@unamuno1898 😅😅😅 Indeed!

Sharks don’t sleep like we do, but some, like whitetip reef sharks, pile up in caves to rest. Dozens can squeeze together in tight spaces, staying still while the currents help them breathe.

This is confusing as there is another species of shark called the Leopard shark (Triakis semifasciata) found along the Pacific North American coast.

[Sea Whispers @SeaWhispers__]

Did you know? Baby zebra sharks look nothing like the adults? They’re born with dark bodies and bold white stripes, often mistaken for leopard sharks. As they grow, their stripes fade into spots, giving them the pattern that inspired their name🌊

@lawlessland22 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Vero

[Sea Whispers @SeaWhispers__]

@Nikki6405994059 Exactly, colourful species are usually the most dangerous. At least they warn you in a way 😅

[Sea Whispers @SeaWhispers__]

Did you know, The blue-ringed octopus is on of the most dangerous of its species? Its venom can paralyze you in minutes, shutting down muscles and breathing. With no antidote, only life support keeps you alive until the poison wears off.
