It's #WorldOceansDay, so I've drawn one of the five known species of truly ocean dwelling insect, sea skaters (Halobates spp). Sea skaters lay their eggs on hard surfaces floating in the open ocean; surfaces which have become increasingly abundant as oceans are increasingly polluted with plastic. Good for the sea skaters, maybe, but unfettered insect growth is rarely good for the rest of the ecosystem.
I'd bet there are whole new species of Halobates sea skaters that evolved specifically on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

A whale shark the largest known fish species achieving lengths of up to 12.5 metres (41.5 feet) & weighing up to 21.5 metric tons (over 47,000 lbs) rises to the surface beside our boat in the Pacific Ocean. On #WorldOceanDay let's work to #SaveOurOcean and #ProtectOurOcean. #nature #naturephotography

On #WorldOceanDay, new co-authored paper that calls for rethinking development in coastal zones, away from extractive models and toward approaches that respect local knowledge, ecological interdependence, and justice.
As climate change threatens our coasts, we must listen to and amplify the voices of communities who have long lived in harmony with the ocean -
For #WorldOceanDay I thought I would share a print with both a vertebrate and invertebrate ocean species. This linocut and gel plate print shows the humpback whale swimming above and a close up of the whale below with six Coronula diadema barnacles.
The Coronula diadema name comes from its barrel and crown-like shape, which can grow to 5 cm (2”) tall and 6 cm (2.4”) in diameter. 🧵

🦈 Stop - hammer(head) time!
Hammerhead sharks are one of the most threatened shark lineages. A recent study reveals that climate change 🌡️ and bycatch 🎣 are rapidly reducing suitable habitats for great, scalloped, and smooth hammerhead species.
Using GBIF-mediated data coupled with environmental and climate factor models, authors project significant habitat loss by century’s end.

Today is #WorldOceanDay! #Coastalecosystems have an important function for climate protection and the preservation of #biodiversity. It is therefore extremely important to protect them. We will soon publish a study @Umweltbundesamt on #bluecarbon and the relevance of coasts. Stay tuned! https://www.flickr.com/photos/oekoinstitut/53755199913/in/dateposted-public/
