@memekillerx Hello, it’s my son’s 8th birthday today. He is a Halloween baby. He has been playing your event. He is Superhero_chickenPro. He is having a hard time getting the graveyard. Could you help?

#FishSlam comes to Vero Beach, FL 3/27-28. @USGS will lead teams of experts on a scientific scavenger hunt for non-native fishes in freshwater. Twice a year Fish Slams help document non-native fish species' arrival and expansion. USGS Photo: Nov 2018 Fish Slam, Miami.

DYK @USGS_NAS has created 200 Alert Risk Mapper (ARM) maps that show water bodies potentially at risk of invasion from a new nonnative species after it has been sighted. At-risk areas are determined by species mobility & drainage barriers (dams): https://t.co/oXxlb4pQKJ

Last week in Vero Beach, FL, USGS led partners in the bio-blitz-like event known as Fish Slam. The 2-day event aims to find new introduced #fish & document any expansion of existing nonnatives. Learn more about the event: https://t.co/lrhKUrNZ9o @USGS_NAS

Since 2010, aquarium dumps have resulted in the introduction of at least 25 new exotic species in the U.S. These introduced species can become invasive and threaten native fish & plants. Learn about #invasives @USGS_NAS https://t.co/0QA2PS7mPQ #InvasiveSpeciesAwarenessWeek

Tilapia are blue, hydrilla are green, let us know of the invasives you've seen. Report invasive species like this crested floating heart to USGS: https://t.co/0QA2PRPLrg #ValentinesDay #invasivespecies #BeMyValentine

USGS has created preliminary "storm tracker" maps showing that more than 160 nonnative aquatic plant and animal species had the potential to spread during the 2018 hurricane season.

This week, USGS scientists will join partners in South FL to sample water bodies for nonnative fish to determine what new fish have been introduced & to document any range expansion of existing nonnatives: https://t.co/lrhKUrNZ9o

"The Blob" might creep & crawl & eat you alive, but this Blob(fish) just floats near the sea floor. #Halloween #DeepSea

(fyi: this is what a Blobfish looks like when it's brought up from the deep-sea. On the sea floor, they look like an actual fish!) Pic: Australian Museum
