Keep your eyes peeled! Someone spotted a North Atlantic right whale skim feeding at the surface just off Long Pond, Conception Bay on 1 Nov. Lots of copepods in the area. New England Aquarium IDed her as #1408 , "Freckles", born in 2013 and never before recorded in Canada.

Observers on the Twin Otter sighted a group of 30 (!!) killer whales SE of Newfoundland yesterday (small red "fish" symbol)(+ 3 killer whales earlier). This is one of the largest groups reported in Newfoundland & Labrador waters. Mariners let me know if you sight these whales?

1/5 If you catch a tagged fish this year, please mail us your tags and details about the fish. We’ll send you back a reward! For cod, you’ll receive $10-$25 for yellow tags, $100 for pink tags and $25 for an electronic tag. For flatfish there’s a $20 reward for any tag returned.
Having fun spotting creepy crawlies for my first time participating in #NCCBioBlitz !

An extraordinary marine heatwave has developed off the east coast of Canada, with hundreds of thousands of square miles of ocean experiencing sea surface temperatures more than 5°C (9°F) above normal and max anomalies approaching 10°C (18°F) above normal.
Thermal stress from this marine heatwave could have major impacts on marine life in the Northwest Atlantic.
Best ROV pic ever.
(if you disagree I dare you to show me a better one.)
(if you agree, you can still show me more ROV pics, I won't be mad about it.)
