In a heartbreaking turn of events, researchers have discovered that the endangered #NorthAtlanticRightWhale population may be in worse shape than previously thought. With a total number estimated at under 350, new data reveals that at least 114 of these whales are now dead or suffering from sickness or injury. As the number of healthy, reproductive North Atlantic Right Whales continues to dwindle, our work to protect them from some of their greatest threats, including vessel strikes and accidental entanglements becomes even more urgent.

Learn more about the work we are doing to support a world where #whales and fishermen can co-exist without risk to one another - and how you can join us in the fight to save right whales: https://t.co/ZjlI8OsvDT

How has this even been allowed?!?!

🚨 URGENT: 🚨 Shell plans to start destructive seismic blasts in a precious whale breeding ground off the coast of South Africa.

Every 10 seconds, 24 hrs a day, for 5 months, whales will be subjected to explosions as intense as a space shuttle launch.

We have to stop them.

By taking hints from spiders, a team from @ChemCambridge has developed a plant-based alternative to single-use plastics.

The first products should be available later this year from @XamplaUK: https://t.co/6llSAzQrMd

Thanks @SEEturtles for this AWESOME suggestion!🌊🐢

Being a black marine biologist has allowed me to challenge stereotypes about what a scientist looks like and has allowed me to get closer to the awesome animals we share the Earth with! #BlackInNature #BlackInSTEM

[Baiyinah Abdullah @baylikesbirds]

This week is #BlackBirdersWeek ! It is an opportunity for us to showcase blk joy in nature, black birders, and blk scientists! First, an introduction. I’m a Texas high school biology teacher holding a special interest in birds and environmental justice!

Growing up in the city, I only dreamed of swimming in the ocean, being on the beach, and doing what I know what I was born to do 🦈🐢#BlackInNature

I spent the last few months doing a Biodiversity module in which we learnt about how valuable and necessary diversity is in nature. How we must respect, appreciate and protect it.
And yet, we condemn diversity within our own species. Inherently unjust.

This is not the normal I want to go back to.

[Laura Paling @laura_paling]

Ugh not only is this unnecessary plastic waste but also encouraging people to be even lazier than we already are when it comes to food 😤 just peel an effin potato for gods sake!!! Come on @Tesco

[Amy White @amywhite269]

Would you care to explain what is going on here in 2020 @Tesco?
I might be wrong but i thought potatoes already had their own protection... hey, it's not like there isn't enough plastic already in the ocean

The world is blue. If you look at it from space, that image alone should inspire us to think that we too are sea creatures.
