Since larger hatchlings can move faster across the beach, they’re less vulnerable to predators, making rainfall an unexpected but crucial factor in their early survival.

[SeaKeepers Society @SeaKeepers]

As climate change alters weather patterns, understanding these dynamics becomes even more important for protecting endangered sea turtle populations.

[SeaKeepers Society @SeaKeepers]

A new study has found that fluctuating rainfall significantly impacts the size and development of sea turtle hatchlings, which could affect their chances of survival. For species like green turtles, heavier rain leads to smaller shells, with varying effects on body weight. 🧵

July was a tidal triumph! 🌊🌟

Thanks to our dedicated volunteers and partners, we removed over 477 pounds of trash from our shores this month. 🌍

Let's keep the momentum going and make August even better!

In 2023, @NOAA declared a global ocean heatwave event causing coral bleaching and habitat degradation worldwide. Over a year later, we are still seeing record-breaking air and water temperatures almost every day. 🧵

[SeaKeepers Society @SeaKeepers]

This is not only devastating to our marine ecosystems like tropical reefs but it is also contributing to stronger and more frequent hurricanes.

Happy #sharkweek! 🦈

Did you know sharks are regarded as keystone species?

Sadly, sharks everywhere are struggling. As we continue to change the landscape and disrupt the natural balance of life, more sharks are feeling our actions' devastating impacts.

The White Shark Chase is expanding eDNA sampling and testing #citizenScience kits! PhD student @JenretteJf and @SeaKeepers have just completed a transect along the Adriatic Sea aboard TE STREEP. Another team is operating between the Balearic Islands and Sardinia. #WSC2024

[SeaKeepers Society @SeaKeepers]

Check out our latest expedition to study white sharks in the Mediterranean!

It was a pleasure assisting @JenretteJf and his team in collecting critical data for this research and we are grateful for TE SREEP for making this expedition possible 💙
