Our favorite headline today: "Shark lasers could help save vulnerable species." From @popsci@universeodon.com: "By merging optical technology and geochemistry, a group of researchers are gaining far more accurate information on the snub-nosed speartooth shark’s age, as well as the health of its environment." https://flip.it/eZ06D_ #Sharks #Animals #Science #Ocean #Conservation

I returned last night from a wonderful trip to the British Virgin Islands. Spent a week on a sailboat, sailing to four islands, and snorkeling and scuba diving off of two of them. The weather cooperated nicely and I thoroughly enjoyed the warm clear water!! More pics to come! #sailing #ocean #scuba #beach #nature #photography #SeaScape #NaturePhotography

Two of the islands that I sailed to had small rock islands near them. Once the sailboat was tied up at each main island, I then took the dinghy to the nearby rock island to scuba dive. Here are pics from below the surface as I dived around one of those rock islands. It’s a different world underwater! #ocean #scuba #nature #SeaScape #photography #NaturePhotography

Here are some of my views when I went scuba diving around the other rock island on my trip last week. This area had a different underwater landscape than the one shown in my earlier post; the seafloor was much more gently sloping. Saw some interesting coral and other forms of life on the bottom here that were quite different from the other rock island. #ocean #scuba #photography #nature #seascape #NaturePhotography

Something’s fishy here! On one of my dives off of the sailboat, I discovered a barracuda and remora (suckerfish) lurking under the boat, each 3-4 feet (1 m) in length. They remained there in spite of my presence and occasionally cruised close to me. For a while, the remora attached itself to the keel of one of the hulls of the boat (upper right pic)! I had more fun near the surface watching these fish than being at the bottom that day! #ocean #scuba #nature #photography #NaturePhotography

No waterfall today on WaterfallWednesday, but how about a wave crashing over a large rock formation as viewed from underwater? Saw a number of such events while snorkeling around a rocky point last week. Waves were crashing regularly over the rocks--- had to be careful and not get sucked into the swirling chaos of each crash! #ocean #snorkeling #waves #nature #photography #NaturePhotography #Seascape

This might give you nightmares the night before you go for a dip in the ocean: giant octopuses the size of whales. A new analysis of fossils shows that these intelligence creatures once grew to a length of 62 feet and used their strong jaws to crush the skeletons of their prey. Fortunately for today’s ocean swimmers, this was millions of years ago. @ScienceAlert@flipboard.com has more: https://flip.it/vvYX5O #Science #Animals #Ocean #SeaCreatures

A dramatic collapse of the #AntarcticFurSeal population likewise prompted the #IUCN to change the species’s status from “least concern” to “#endangered.” The organization said that rising #ocean temperatures have pushed the seals’ main prey — krill — to greater ocean depths, making it harder for the seals to find food.​ Between 1999 & 2025, the IUCN said, the number of Antarctic fur seals dropped by more than 50% #GlobalWarming #wildlife #MarineLife #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #law
