Velvet belly #lanternsharks are #bioluminescent, but have never been seen glowing at depth before. While in #Norway with Nicolas Straube (@UiB, @UiB_museet), we attempted to film this phenomenon.

Thanks @TeamORCA for archival bioluminescence footage.

Glyphosate is another contaminant impacting Florida fisheries. New research from the Ocean Research and Conservation Association @TeamORCA found glyphosate in 125 fish sampled from the #IndianRiverLagoon, raising new concerns about its use in aquatic systems.

[Gifford Youth Achievement Center @myGYAC]

Students had so much fun building an ROV with @TeamORCA during their Science Institute of Discovery class on June 16th!

Missy Weiss, ORCA's Director of Citizen Science & Education, assisted students alongside her intern, Katy, to help make their ROVs come to life! 🙂
