@Jeff_Jacoby I enjoyed your piece. Like a good religious ritual, Halloween has gone to extremes. This is non-denominational, an equal opportunity spooker. With everyone holed up in their bubbles, a community event like Halloween comes at a time not to be overdone.

Amid the worst drought in 57 years on the Madeira River in the Amazon, a riverside dweller rescued a dolphin struggling in the extreme low waters...🐬

Remember, underwater noise pollution impedes communications between right whales; they can lose their way if disconnected. To save the right whale, we need regulations to tell boats to #keepitdown 🔊🔊🔊

Did you know that right whales help fight climate change? �� from whales provide the necessary nutrients for plankton to bloom, pulling carbon out of the atmosphere 👀

Humans know less about our oceans than we do about our galaxy. It's time we re-invest in understanding the way our earthly ecosystems work. With only 350 North American right whales left, we are running out of time to learn about these leviathans and their salty homes.

Some whales have been documented to hold their breath for well over 90 minutes, allowing them to take very deep dives into the ocean to feed or hunt. Learn more at: https://t.co/XogOacOA33

Ocean pollution of all kinds – wastewater, oil, gas, sewage, garbage, and other chemicals – can wreak havoc on right whales’ favorite foods like zooplankton.

Did you know? Right whale mothers-to-be are pregnant with their calves for 12 months and give birth between December and March. Newborn whales are already about 15 feet long and weigh up to 2,000 lbs! 📸: NOAA Fisheries

Did you know? Male right whales have an average life expectancy 20 years longer than their female counterparts. As a result of energetic stress during birth and nursing, female right whales are more susceptible to vessel strikes and entanglements.

The Right Whale’s name gives us a clue as to why the species is endangered. Whalers gave it that name because it was the “right” whale to hunt. They are coastal, move slowly, and often swim near the surface. Help save them here: https://t.co/XogOacOA33

Despite their massive size, right whales take it really slow, moving at only 2 to 5 miles per hour. This makes them vulnerable to ship strikes, so we need new rules to slow them down. #TheMoreYouKnow #OceanLife #WhaleConservation

Right whales depend on long-distance relationships to get around. When underwater noise pollution gets in the way, they can’t can’t communicate and can lose their way. To save the right whale, boats need to #KeepItDown 🔊🔊🔊

Which industry is responsible for 75% of the trash in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch?

[Rob Moir @OceanRiverRob]

Did you know? Right Whales don’t have teeth! They are baleen whales, meaning they use a system of sieves or filters to capture huge amounts of food by opening its mouth and filtering zooplankton, krill, and copepods from the water. 🖼️: NOAA Fisheries

Ship strikes, fishing gear entanglements, poor health, and polluted waters are creating a crisis for the right whale. 📸: NOAA Fisheries
