Some kind of candy lying on a brown algae background. No wait, it is a nudibranch. White, pale pink, vivid ridiculous spots of magenta and sunflower yellow. Silly and beautiful. Lower half of the image contains swatches of the nudi's colour palette.

Always a rare treat when I am lucky enough to spot a tiny clown doris! One of my missions is still to get a better photo of one too 😅 🤡

Norway Reopens Annual Whale Hunt Despite Pressure to End Commercial Whaling Norway reopened its annual whale hunting season earlier this month, continuing a practice most countries abandoned decades ago. By the mid-20th century, industrial whaling had pushed many whale species to the brink of extinction. To stop the collapse, the International Whaling Commission implemented a global moratorium on commercial whaling in the 1980s. While most nations […]

Harbor seals are true seals that can be found along temperate and Arctic coast lines in the northern hemisphere. They feed on fish such as herring, cod, mackerel and hake. They are weary of people (I used a zoom for these photos!) and known to be playful. #seals #harborseal #nature #marinelife

How War and Shipping in the Strait of Hormuz Threaten a Unique Marine Ecosystem The article describes how the fragile marine ecosystem in the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Arabian Gulf is being endangered by renewed military tension and heavy shipping traffic. Beneath one of the world’s most strategic waterways lives a rare biological sanctuary, including around 7,000 dugongs and fewer than 100 nonmigratory Arabian humpback whales that cannot leave these waters. A recent two‑week ceasefire between the United States and Iran has allowed ships to begin moving again after a prolonged blockade, but it has not removed the underwater threats. Naval mines, residual military operations, and congested shipping lanes continue to create a high‑risk environment for marine life already stressed by extreme heat and salinity. The article explains that sound is critical for whales’ survival, and underwater explosions and sonar can injure their hearing, disrupt communication, and alter feeding and diving behavior, effectively forcing periods of fasting. In the narrow strait, blast waves and pressure changes from military activity can kill fish and damage the auditory systems of whales and dolphins. Even temporary displacement caused by sonar or explosions can interfere with feeding and habitat use in such a confined corridor. The Gulf is also a “slow‑flush” sea, taking years to exchange its waters, so oil spills and other pollutants can linger, harming turtles, sea snakes, dolphins, whale sharks, corals, and seabirds, and damaging crucial nesting and feeding areas. Dugongs face additional danger as oil slicks and sediment plumes block sunlight needed by seagrass meadows, their main food source, and coastal habitats like mangroves are also at risk from spills. The conflict further undermines science by making fieldwork and acoustic monitoring difficult or impossible, just when long‑term data are most needed. Since many species here are adapted to conditions that mirror projected future oceans, losing them to war and pollution would mean losing a vital natural laboratory for understanding how marine life might cope with climate change.
