The weather held and our Diversity of Nature BIPOC Snorkel Expedition was a success!! These students did SO good. For many, this was their first time swimming in the ocean — if I hadn’t known otherwise though, I’d have never guessed. Huge thanks to @NSERC_CRSNG for sponsoring!

[Fathom Fund @thefathomfund]

A glimpse at the Diversity of Nature group's snorkel trip in Cranberry Cove—led by @belostomatid—where participants spent the day exploring the marine environment. Sightings included lobsters, sand lances, pollack & jellyfish.🦞

This great read from @MoriaDonovan, via @hakaimagazine, digs into some of the innovative ways researchers are finding the "bright side" of green crabs—including @thefathomfund's @MooresResearch and the @ParksCanada_NS team. MEOPAR is proud to support this work!

[Moira Donovan @MoiraDonovan]

In Nova Scotia, green crabs are threatening vital eelgrass meadows. A coalition of fishers, researchers and park officials is responding by turning the crabs into everything from bait to bioplastics. My story for @hakaimagazine
