Rain clouds over the Pacific. Photograph by Windy B.

Pluviophile here. Thankfully, Los Angeles is getting some much needed rain.

On an another note, while we've been living in dark times, and there are bound to be more storms ahead, the light in the distance inspires our strength and courage to carry on.

Photo collage of sea slugs and marine flatworms.

Ever since my brother introduced me to sea slugs and marine flatworms, I have been captivated by their otherworldly presence and fluidity. What sea creature or plant is your fascination and why?

Cringe is Courage Why the Ocean Needs Our Uncool Love“Cringe.”We toss it out like confetti when something feels awkward, earnest, or “too much.” But here at Ocean Hoptimism, we say: bring it on. Cringe is just sincerit...

Woke up at 4am for deep sea fishing
The weather was great and seas calm
Fishing made me a bit nauseous but saw dolphins and sharks, couldn’t snap any pics
Cruised the UK and had a tasty meal on the Isle of Wight
So tired but happy to see my favorite ocean
Nice day❤️

A close-up, low-angle shot of a stormy sea breaking on a sandy and rocky beach. The foreground is filled with white sea foam scattered across the wet, dark sand and smooth pebbles. In the middle ground, the receding water is a churning, foamy grey. The background is dominated by a huge, powerful wave with a white crest, crashing down just before it reaches the shore, with a moody, cloudy sky above.
