Save our seas ♡

[minamarkoff @minamarkoff]

Thank you for an awesome marine biology class at UNSW! Here’s a ~cool penguin~ to celebrate everything we learnt! #marenvs19

[Oceana @oceana]

I'm not a regular penguin. I'm a COOL penguin. 😎 #SeabirdSaturday

47 YEARS PROTECTING OUR OCEANS! Let’s keep this trend going #marenvs19

Today, we're celebrating something incredible:

47 YEARS of protecting our ocean. 🌟

such awesome creatures! Watch this video to learn more about the octopus :)) #marenvs19

[Oceana @oceana]

This octopus knows a thing or two about standing out. 🐙

Nurse sharks are completely inoffensive to humans! Did you know humans hunt and kill over 100 million sharks each year? Let’s put an end to this. #marenvs19

[Sanctuaries (NOAA) @sanctuaries]

Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the sleepiest shark of them all? 🦈💤
Nurse sharks! These nocturnal bottom dwellers prefer to take it easy during daylight hours and scour the seafloor for food at night. #SharkWeek #EarthIsBlue

[minamarkoff @minamarkoff]

Let’s save our planet! Incentivizing eco friendly behavior is how we get out of this mess #marenvs19

Stand together against offshore drilling!! It’s killing our marine wildlife #marenvs19

[Ocean Conservancy @OurOcean]

Until tangible and long-term protections are put in place, risky
offshore drilling still presents a threat to our ocean and the wildlife, communities and businesses that depend on it.

Take action for our ocean today: https://t.co/xh91Em9PsA

:( sea levels rising due to human made climate change —> innocent baby turtles die as a byproduct

[molly sheridan @mollysheridan11]

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

[minamarkoff @minamarkoff]

successful ethical restrictions on big businesses! Read all about it :) #marenvs19

[Save Our Seas @saveourseas]

Success at #CITESCoP18 for mako sharks, giant guitarfish & wedgefish!
Earlier today they were officially added to #CITES App II. This means that countries are expected to prove any international trade in products from these species is legal & sustainable https://t.co/wXZatsMtI8

[minamarkoff @minamarkoff]

The liquid whales propel from the top of their head is part of their breathing process! Super fascinating how marine mammal respiration is a prime example of convergent evolution! #marenvs19

[Save Our Seas @saveourseas]

Deepening our understanding of whales via an eye in the sky. Drones give researchers a birds-eye view, providing them with a new level of insight into their behaviour, nutritional status; as well as injury, scarring & entanglement frequency https://t.co/W2wo02htUi

[minamarkoff @minamarkoff]

Watch our awesome video on shark nets! Understand why they’re bad for everyone involved and learn about some alternative solutions :)) #marenvs19

[minamarkoff @minamarkoff]

Stay open minded, learn what traditions and customs mean for your environment. Hunting sharks for fins is unethical and cruel. #marenvs19

[Susan Li @susan_li117]

Shark fin soup hasn't been proven to offer any actual medical benefits and actually contains 17% more mercury than the recommended amount. This is a step in the right direction and hopefully laws can be implemented to protect more sharks #MarEnvs19

[minamarkoff @minamarkoff]

Climate change affects all living creatures. If we don’t change our behavior then marine life and landscapes are going to continue to change drastically.
#marenvs19

[Oceana @oceana]

The jellyfish are coming.

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

[minamarkoff @minamarkoff]

Save our reefs! Read about this restoration blueprint and educate yourself on what marine sanctuaries mean! #marenvs19

[Sanctuaries (NOAA) @sanctuaries]

To help the Florida Keys survive for future generations, @FloridaKeysNMS is proposing a new Restoration Blueprint. We want to hear from you: https://t.co/bTAmHpdiC8

[minamarkoff @minamarkoff]

Cuties!! Don’t just be scared of things you don’t understand, educate yourself! Sharks are more afraid of us than we are of them #marenvs19

[Andrew Nosal @AndrewNosal]

3 examples of #California leopard #shark 'rolling' behavior today at #LaJolla Shores, in which they flash their white bellies sideways or upward. Reason unknown. Communication? Back scratching? #SanDiego #sharksnearme @Scripps_Ocean @Birch_Aquarium #sharkscience #animalbehavior

[minamarkoff @minamarkoff]

Really cool ideas! #marenvs19

[brooke watson @brookewatson_]

Could 3D printing technology be the future in rebuilding coral reefs? #marenvs19 https://t.co/fUzuLNXrhd

[minamarkoff @minamarkoff]

Educate yourself about ocean pollution! #marenvs19

[minamarkoff @minamarkoff]

Craft carefully! #marenvs19

[minamarkoff @minamarkoff]

There are only a couple deaths by sharks a year on the Australian cost, nets are put up to stop these sharks from approaching the cost but the nets catch and kill precious wildlife and endangered species. No for nets! #marenvs19

What a fantastic photo from Todd Winn! Taken with a SeaLife DC2000, Dual Sea Dragon Flashes, and our 0.5x Wide Angle Lens.

Save our orcas! With global warming we are killing marine life directly and indecently. Larger animals such as orcas feed on smaller ones, destroying a single habitat affects them all, there is no longer enough biomass for large animals like orcas to survive! #marenvs19

[Oceana @oceana]

About 40% of Southern Resident orca calves don’t make it past their first few years. These orcas are starving to death and desperately need your help now more than ever. Tell the PFMC to adopt meaningful measures to protect these orcas from extinction: https://t.co/pw8IX2yn7S

The Marine Mammal Protection act! Save our beautiful marine wildlife by being active not only on foot and your every day life but also in bills and politics! #marenvs19

[Oceana @oceana]

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

Help ensure that these whales stay best friends forever by adding your name to protect the Marine Mammal Protection Act: https://t.co/BpYFMbRclZ #DefendMarineMammals
