January cold dip #2 with frost on the ground/beach made for the coldest cold dip yet ❄️🥶

Thoughts about #Finspan? 🐟🐠🐡

Grateful for this sunny Sunday in Raincouver.

Quantification of vessel noise and reduction in available listening space for marine mammals? 🐋🎤

Baby silver fish hiding among the tentacles of a large white jellyfish

And in an unlikely turn of events, jellyfish are just floating underwater bird feeders

In the Arctic, baby fish seek cover inside the stinging tentacles of jellyfish, but birds, having figured out the bit, now swim underwater, through the tentacles, & eat them 🧪

New research on endangered sunflower sea stars (Pycnopodia helianthoides) was just highlighted in
@nature.com. The study, led by Hakai Institute research scientist @rhizalyssa.bsky.social, shows Pycnopodia finding refuge from sea star wasting disease in BC's coastal fjords🔗 tinyurl.com/shzdtawj

I am not a marmam scientist but have worked in multiple non-academic intersecting fields, incl. ecotourism, fish obs., marmam outreach, other sci comm, marmam research support, & marine env. consulting over the past 7ish years. I am now a marine planner (with some focus on 🐋). Happy to chat!

Are there any BIPOC marine mammal scientists open to connecting with an early career scientist to discuss career development and navigating racism in the field?

Eman, are you looking to connect with folks in the US or elsewhere too? Asking because the marine mammal science + BIPOC Venn diagram overlap is extremely small, as you very well know but of course, career advice from non-US folks may not be as relevant.

Using fire to heal the land — and mitigate B.C. wildfires | The Narwhal On Gitanyow lands, a cultural burn done with the BC Wildfire Service is part of a growing effort to mitigate wildfires and strengthen communities

Bringing back ancient Indigenous fire practices helps restore cultural connections, heal the land and strengthen communities. On Gitanyow lands, restorative fire brings people together and mitigates increasingly intense and widespread wildfires driven by climate change

Went to watch the sunset in Fort Kochi and couldn't believe my eyes: Indian humpback dolphins, just a few hundred metres off the beach! @oceangill.bsky.social do you know anyone who might want photo ID shots? #India #cetaceans

It was a big day for #bioacoustics publications from the FishSounds team!

I've started a marine mammal reseachers starter pack. It focuses on researchers and labs studying marine mammals. Feel free to ask to be added :) go.bsky.app/MWiR9uS
