  2. 💁🏻‍♀️ 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!

  7. So, been working on a 3D printing side gig. I will be working on finalizing setup for separate social media over the next few days, but here's a preview of what's listed in the shop.

  11. 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.

  12. 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).

  14. Legal capture of endangered #MantaRay sparks bipartisan outrage in #Florida

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/06/manta-ray-capture-florida-wildlife-permits

    Florida authorities have agreed to review the issuing of special permits allowing companies to capture endangered creatures to sell, after an outcry over the netting of a huge manta ray for an aquarium in Abu Dhabi.

  15. 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.
