The spotted pattern on whale sharks is a type of disruptive coloration, which is a form of camouflage. The pattern 'disrupts' the body outline of the whale shark, making it difficult for potential prey, or predators, to spot them. #WhaleSharkDay

Read our latest review in @ScienceMagazine on the planetary role of seagrass conservation.
We NEED to put seagrass meadows on a pathway to net gain.

As our oceans continue to warm, deep sea corals are just as vulnerable to bleaching as shallower reefs. Learn more: https://t.co/GM3Bg17KCz #ClimateChange
Only 1.44% of High Seas currently protected despite 270,000 species described there, more to be discovered, and massive importance to life on earth.

As part of our scientific campaign MARE@Desertas 2022, it is now time for @mare_madeira scientific diving team, with the support of Direção Regional do Mar (@GovernoMadeira) & #IFCN to head to the Marine Reserve to assess and characterise organism assemblages and shallow habitats
The team will be visiting sites in the fully protected and partial reserve to assess existing differences in #algae, #macroinvertebrates and #fish diversity and abundance
Time to rethink what we thought we knew about whale sharks - they don't just eat zooplankton and small fish. Floating algae is also part of the diet making them the largest omnivore on the planet since the dinosaurs: https://t.co/I3FHDPr7dc

Check out @restoreseas ,a project that, like us, applies novel nature-based solutions to improve resilience of restoration of marine habitats (macroalgae, seagrasses and coral ) in the Atlantic coasts.
