💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦈✈️ On August 16, 2026, #NewEngland #Aquarium scientists flying over the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument logged more than 2,000 #animals across 15 species southeast of #CapeCod.
The count included 11 #whale #sharks, some 1,800 #dolphins, an endangered #spermwhale, and a #humpback. Researchers called the #diversity a marker of #habitat value, noting recent #policy changes now allow commercial #fishing there.

They are quite literally feeling your presence in the water, reading your steady heartbeat and calm energy. It is an active, two-way conversation of biology! -

Caribbean manta rays (Mobula yarae) often swim with groups of other fish, creating small, moving ecosystems.

Does this look like a manta ray?
I wanted to make a sun-catcher for my 5-year-old neice who loves both rainbows and the ocean, but this is my first time trying wire art.

Manta rays living beyond the continental shelf occasionally make very deep dives--to more than 500 meters and as much as 1,200 meters. The purpose is unclear, but is proposed to support orientation or navigation prior to long-distance travel (75-200 km).

For a long time, manta rays were considered a single species.
In 1868, Australian Museum director Gerard Krefft suggested a second species, though, it was only in 2009 that a paper confirmed the reef manta ray as a valid species distinct from the giant oceanic manta ray.
A recent study has now confirmed - there’s a third species of manta ray gracefully gliding through the seas.
