How will Humpbacks cope with the current El Niño causing a marine heatwave?
A record marine heatwave from 2014 to 2016 disrupted the food web humpbacks depend on. In the years that followed the North Pacific population dropped by about 20% between 2012 and 2021, roughly 7,000 whales. Researchers think many of them starved when their prey became scarce.

The photos show BCY1000 'Hydra' breaching.

Simon Fraser University: New sound catalogue reveals who’s who in the world of killer whales. “Developed at Simon Fraser University, the Orca Call Catalogue serves as a field guide to killer whale calls, pulling decades of recordings into a searchable online library for the first time, says John Ford, scientist emeritus at Fisheries and Oceans Canada.”

A Curious Sea Lion Pup

I was drawn to this young sea lion’s curious expression as it looked toward the camera, surrounded by a relaxed group resting on the sunlit coastal outcrop. A thoughtful way to add natural texture and marine character to your indoor space.

University of Hawaii: Tagging whales from the sky: New methods revolutionize research. “Marine mammal research has attained new heights as scientists at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa are deploying noninvasive suction-cup tags onto humpback whales using drones. Traditionally, researchers from the Marine Mammal Research Program (MMRP) in the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology approached […]

Florida International University: Researchers install 3D-printed seawall tiles to support coastal protection and marine life. “The system uses modular, interlocking tiles that can be attached to existing seawalls. Each tile is robotically printed and designed with grooves, ridges, crevices and small pools that create more complex surfaces for marine organisms to attach, shelter and grow.”

University of Washington: Decades-long dataset shows which orcas are most at home in Puget Sound. “Looking at data from The Whale Museum’s Sightings Archive between 1978 and 2022, University of Washington researchers modeled migratory trends based on observations from researchers, recreational boaters and whale watchers. They found that K and L pods are visiting Puget Sound less often, but […]

Maryland Matters: ‘Super fun’: The tale of how a prehistoric shark became Maryland’s official state shark . “Two days earlier, in the final hours of Maryland’s legislative session, lawmakers passed a bill to make megalodon — the largest shark that ever lived — the state shark. It became official on Tuesday, when Gov. Wes Moore signed Senate Bill 35 into law, declaring in one line […]

Shore Daily News: New tool to track oyster trends. “What sets this version apart is its interactivity. Instead of static charts, users can explore a live map with a time slider, watching oyster populations change year by year. The system allows users to zoom in from the bay level to individual reefs, and switch between data layers like juvenile oysters, market-size oysters, and shell volume.”

This is Colossal: A Pair of Elephant Seal Pups Wins the 2026 Underwater Photographer of the Year. “Additional winning images include Natalie Yarrow’s tableau of hinge-beak shrimp inside a pink barrel sponge, Khaichuin Sim’s observation of the controversial annual whale hunt in the Faroe Islands, and Sam Blount’s dramatic encounter with a leopard seal.”

The fishing ban in the Bay of Biscay will return in 2026 to protect dolphins.

Winter closures in recent years have gained positive results, although the measure will affect around 300 vessels.

Virginia Tech: AI, citizen science combine to help save sharks. “One-third of shark species are at risk of extinction, yet scientists still lack basic data on their habitats, populations, and trends. To solve this, researchers at Virginia Tech, Stanford University, and others are building the world’s largest open database of shark sightings using online photos called sharkPulse.”

Just as the sun was rising in Kaikōura, I spotted this little face watching me from the rocks, lit perfectly by golden light.
Living among these incredible creatures is something I’ll never take for granted.
🦭 But their survival depends on how we treat our oceans.

Si le manchot papou est la star de mes cartes, les baleines à bosse sont les SUPER stars ! 🐋✨
Voici une nouvelle illustration d'une baleine sautant hors de l'eau.
Savais-tu que les baleines sautent, entre autres, pour communiquer entre elles sur de longues distances ? 🌊💬
