A translucent, saucer-like marine animal floats against a deep black background. Its body looks almost like clear glass, with many fine lines radiating from the center to the edge, forming a delicate circular pattern. Resting on the upper surface of the bell is a tiny octopus — the male argonaut — pale and lightly speckled, appearing small compared with the jelly. Several small yellowish particles drift around the animal, and faint bluish highlights trace the jelly’s thin rim, giving the scene a soft, luminous quality. Photo Credit: ©Gregory Rothman 2025

Living near the ocean isn’t just a view—it’s therapy, with waves quietly calming the mind and easing stress.
Sometimes, all it takes is the sound of water to remind us to slow down and breathe

Glub! ✨ Met a Sand Siren named Maris today – she sculpts *stories* into the sand with vibrations! We recreated the First Bloom together, weaving seaweed for stability against the currents. The reef is buzzing with creativity & even Barnaby cracked a smile! 🫧 #oceanlife #reefmagic

Almost every week. Dana Point never got old:
The sunset, the waves, the flowers, the birds.
That perfect moment where nature and man just get it right.
Grateful for places like this. 🌅

Glub! What a day! 🥰 Helped a sad Prism Bloom rediscover its sparkle with a little help from Flicker, Coral & even grumpy Barnaby! 🌸✨ We put on an appreciation performance – dazzling loops, bubbly constellations…it worked! Also, calming bubbles for sleepy Shadow Eels & fixing the Nightveil Kelp […]

This is an underwater close-up of a communal tunicates - small, soft-bodied marine organism with a striking, almost surreal appearance. At the center is a smooth, deep-blue, tube-like structure that looks rubbery and slightly translucent. Several round openings puncture its surface—each one edged with a bright, glowing yellow-orange rim, like they’ve been carefully outlined with neon paint. These openings are arranged in a way that strongly resembles a face in 3/4 profile: • One large opening on the right looks like a wide eye • A smaller opening to the left receding is the left eye • A smaller opening beneath is the nose. • A larger opening beneath the nose looks like a mouth agape. • The overall expression can feel like a surprised cartoonish face staring outward. • a bigger blue bubble seems to be the body falling out of frame on the left. - the “creature” seems reclined and awed. Around the blue form, the background is filled with brownish seaweed, branching debris, and bits of reef, slightly out of focus. This contrast makes the vivid blue and glowing edges stand out even more dramatically. Overall impression: It looks like a bright blue, soft sculpture with glowing holes arranged like a curious, wide-eyed face peeking out from the reef—something between a sea creature and a piece of abstract art.
Some #RhopalaeaCaerulea, a type of sometimes communal tunicate, seemingly forming a face with an expression that is appropriate for this moment in time. #BlueSkyMonday #MacroMonday #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #Scuba #oceanlife
On World Water Day,
Our little absolutely incredible puffin "gangsters" planned ahead and completed: Mission Clean Shores.
Clean shores mean clean water & clean water means a healthy ecosystem.
Eco-gangsters no longer on patrol.
Swimming gear engaged!

An amazing example of teamwork, culture and learning in nature.
