https://t.co/5uGw3M5arw an interesting and hopeful article about efforts being made to target the clean up of the pacific garbage patch! At only 23 years old Boyan Slat is making a difference that will benefit all of us!

Do you think their beautiful blue feet make up for the fact that baby blue-footed boobies engage in siblicide? Yup that’s right...the older hatchling is stronger and more aggressive, and will actually kill its weaker, younger sibling🤭 #not #cool #marenvs19

Blue-footed boobies are known for their courtship behaviors, where males dance very specific movements to attract females. Learn more in our Marine Life Encyclopedia: https://t.co/lxCROkTo35

This is a roaring glacial melt, under the bridge to Kangerlussiauq, Greenland where it's 22C today and Danish officials say 12 billions tons of ice melted in 24 hours, yesterday.

This rise in sea levels could put many people in danger, seeing that 80% of Australians live near the coast #marenvs19

[jennaunsw @jennaunsw]

The region of the globe that has had the highest rise in sea levels is in North Australia and the Western Pacific 🥴 Cities could soon be under water if we don’t act now! #marenvs19

[jennaunsw @jennaunsw]

70% of fish consumed in Australia is not locally caught, and is imported instead. Make sure you read labels to find out where your food is from and if it was caught in a sustainable way #marenvs19

[jennaunsw @jennaunsw]

Beware when you order fish and chips. Cooked seafood for immediate consumption has no legal requirements. You could be eating shark 😞👎🏻 #marenvs19

Sadly, as ocean levels rise, the beaches are slowly disappearing and not leaving enough room for her to lay her eggs in a completely dry area. The eggs can drown if they get wet. Theres already only about a 1 in 1000 chance an egg will make it to adulthood. :( #marenvs19

It took 96 weeks and thousands of volunteers to clean up Versova Beach in Mumbai, India. The payoff? Hundreds of thousands of seaturtles hatching this week. First time in decades. Anything can be cleaned!

Came across this cigarette butt in one of the upper tidal pools at Maroubra beach #sad😪 these break down into microplastics, which are so so bad for the environment!! Be responsible and dispose of your trash the proper way #marenvs19

[jennaunsw @jennaunsw]

A cool time lapse I took of a sea urchin crawling back towards the water. I’ve never seen these guys move before so this was pretty cool to watch! #marenvs19

A fish? A ray? Nope—that’s an OCTOPUS! 🐙

When it comes to trickery, no one beats these cephalopods.

[jennaunsw @jennaunsw]

tires, tennis balls, tea bags and glitter are just a few examples of plastic that later break down into microplastics. These microplastics end up in our air and tap water, which we consume. Try reducing your use of plastic materials like these! #marenvs19

The leafy seadragon is a charismatic species native to the southern coast of Australia. 🐉 Though these fish resemble seahorses, they are actually more closely related to the pipefishes. Learn more in our Marine Life Encyclopedia: https://t.co/26sTRzDMqf

Well this is just adorable #marenvs19

PRECIOUS BOND: An orphaned melon-headed whale calf was recently adopted by a bottlenose dolphin who treated the calf like her own.

Feeling extra lucky to call this place home! The Sydney harbor is home to over 500 different species of animals. That’s more than the entire coast of the United Kingdom!! 🐠🐟🐬🐳 #marenvs19

When you’re at the beach enjoying the BEAUTIFUL weather this weekend, if you get caught in a rip, remember to stay calm and either swim parallel to the surface or float until the rip brings you back 🌊🏊🏼‍♂️#marenvs19
