Oysters for days! Getting started on the next step of the New River Oyster Highway project. @UNCims #marinebiology #3Cs36

Senator Diane Feinstein just introduced a bill which would require the California swordfish drift gillnet fishery to phase out the use of drift gillnets & switch to cleaner gear types.

Do your part to help save marine life from deadly drift gillnets: https://t.co/RepU7cHyoG

Now, this puts a smile on our face! @McDonalds is considering banning plastic straws in the United States https://t.co/orDJtZ2ySU

Everyone, today is a momentous day. I am the proud mother of some bustling baby sea urchins… https://t.co/Hl8FzObmfa

Good news! Hawaiian monk seal population is growing! https://t.co/birHXSvsRd #MonkSealMonday

Watch out! This cool looking fire coral (Millepora complanata) packs a punch. The hydroid is loading with stinging cells that can leave a nasty burn #3Cs36

Pollution is not just a local issue. Careless disposal of plastic can have far reaching consequences #plasticpollution https://t.co/n2ltbIiJlB

First data ever gathered from extremely remote area of the South Indian Ocean has a surprisingly high volume of plastic particles. https://t.co/2Lj8X7B0AN via @guardian

Got to play around with some dye and sponges today to calculate the pumping rate of these important reef filtering systems. The metal bolt helps us make measurements from pictures without having to take a lot of equipment on a dive. #3Cs36 #science

Throwback to the time @kten44 and I made the best egg catching device to study eggs released and fertilized by Hamlets. Did you know they are on of only 40 fish species that are simultaneous hermaphrodites?? #science #3Cs36

[Eliza Schlein @eliza_schlein]

The most important part of science is making sure everyone else knows what you're talking about! #3Cs36 #scienceeducation https://t.co/movVQmmTN0

Your ocean posts on social media are helping marine conservation! Keep up the good work! https://t.co/ytbU3apFyA #OceanOptimism

Sunday mornings were made for sleeping in, just ask the Hawaiian monk seal: https://t.co/DvHchpa6Gs 😴

It's hard to believe that this striped little Gray Angelfish will completely change its coloration by the time its all grown up! Reef fish never cease to amaze. #3Cs36 #coralreef

If only I had that kind of camera tonight in Bocas del Toro! https://t.co/glhSJAVocZ

"Whoa, Sky, you're dazzling tonight!"
"Right back atcha, Ocean!"

The bioluminescent bloom continued last night along the Big Sur coast! Minuscule dinoflagellate plankton fired off their biological fireworks, showing up as blue flashes inside wave crashes in this 30s exposure.

Night dives might be a little creepy, but they're the best way to get a firsthand look at nocturnal feeders such as crabs and lobsters. This crab wasn't too pleased to have an audience tonight #3Cs36 #marinebiology #crab

[Eliza Schlein @eliza_schlein]

Saw a crazy school of parrotfishes today out on the reef. These guys are helping to keep the reef from shifting to a macroalgae dominated state. #parrotfish #3Cs36 #marinesbiology

[Eliza Schlein @eliza_schlein]

Worms are much cooler underwater. Looks like I got a little too close for comfort for this little Feather Duster! #3Cs36

@therealsarfie I'm jealous that you get to hang out with you.

[Eliza Schlein @eliza_schlein]

@therealsarfie stop. She's mine

[Eliza Schlein @eliza_schlein]

At least @joeharrisuva got in for a bit. #onlyreasoniwatched
