Within meters of each other! Plastic waste affects the oceans by choking wildlife & accumulating as toxic micro plastics in animals high in the food chain - Soda stream is trying to combat this by providing a reusable & plastic free alternative to soda bottles #marenvs19

#marenvs19 Ocean acidification & climate change don’t just affect the reefs we learned about - it’s also possible we’ll be seeing way too many jellyfish

[Oceana @oceana]

The jellyfish are coming.

If #ClimateChange continues unchecked, it's possible our oceans will be A LOT more gelatinous.

Running away from all responsibilities after a long weekend like...

#marenvs19 Never really thought about how sea urchins move around - so cool

[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

This bobtail squid would be a master at hide-and-seek! 🙈

Saw Fairy Penguins (Eudyptula minor) @ Featherdale today 💛 Smallest penguins in the world & native to Australia & New Zealand! As we learned, they are monogamous & are endangered in NSW #marenvs19

Did you know that female humpback whales have best friends? 💙

Yet another reason to visit the fish market: you may spot Nigel, the VERY pelican from Finding Nemo and his adoring fans 😩😩 #marenvs19

[Lenique @LeniqueUNSW]

Visit the Sydney Fish Market if you haven’t! They really make an effort to form a sustainable relationship with the sea - plus you can get good food & support local fishers! Read more about their missions at the link https://t.co/y1rJiboCqI #marenvs19

@jakemarineguy Unpopular opinion but I honestly think dugongs are adorable

[Lenique @LeniqueUNSW]

I’m Caribbean so I wanted to explore Caribbean Sea issues that relate to our class content- this article talks about the huge seaweed problem that has affected the health of sea grass beds & coral among other things #marenvs19 https://t.co/YB08FvsQfE

[Lenique @LeniqueUNSW]

@gfm_downunder I really really want to spot a whale before I leave Sydney 😭

[Lenique @LeniqueUNSW]

I drew this shameless plug for our upcoming video on shark finning (I look forward to your vote nxt Wednesday😉) Shark fin soup has significant cultural importance but is also very damaging to the marine environment .. our video explores both sides of the controversy #marenvs19

[Lenique @LeniqueUNSW]

Today I learned that despite what years of Spongebob education taught me, kelp is a BROWN algae & NOT just completely bright green #marenvs19

[Lenique @LeniqueUNSW]

I ran into this blue groper sign at the beach and that obviously led to me excitedly explaining sequential hermaphroditism to my concerned friends for 5 minutes #marenvs19

[Lenique @LeniqueUNSW]

So do we think this is a Spilling or Surging wave break?? #wavy #marenvs19
