Find what you love. Never lose sight of keeping a strong passion in your life for something you really care about.
This lucky group of Marine Science Academy @cihs_raiders are standing beneath about 10k monarch butterflies overwintering at Ellwood Mesa in Goleta. Thank you to Karen Sinclair and Michael Glenn from the USFWS for leading us to this spectacular site/sight!
Paying homage to the majestic live-forever Dudleya, native to our Santa Monica Mountains. An endless study in remarkable evolutionary adaptations.
MSA is collecting native buckwheat seeds in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. Future native nursery managers and conservationists in training.

Talking Trash with Billie Eilish. Nike.com. Happy Earth Day! Great convo—Billie Eilish and marine biologist, Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson. Please watch, talk some trash, and share your big takeaway on climate change. nike.com/a/sustainability-ta…
It is fascinating how single-celled organisms can have such a smart feeding strategy without a brain! Can you think of a useful application of this feeding mechanism?

Need meditative imagery? Look no further than this beautiful whale shark gently cruising the Galapagos.
Take a few seconds for yourself and enjoy this gentle giant swimming in the Galapagos.
Did you know whale sharks are the biggest fish in the ocean and can reach lengths of 40 feet (12 meters) or more?

What's an octopod? you ask. These octomoms will show you!
The #NautilusLive return to the @MBNMS “Octopus Garden” with @GFNMS revealed the ever-changing wonders of this deep-sea octopod nursery. Among our discoveries was one of the first observations of this species of brooding octopus observed laying and cementing her eggs to a rock!
The cool things ROVs do.
#ImageOfTheDay: October 28, 2020: This 3D image of the New Hope tugboat was generated from low-res images collected via ROV Deep Discoverer. The tug sank in 1965 in Gulf of Mexico during Tropical Storm Debbie in ~800 m (2,625 ft) of water.

ALT Structure from Motion photogrammetry is a method of making a 3D model using 2D images. This image of the New Hope tugboat was generated from low-resolution images collected via ROV Deep Discoverer during the Gulf of Mexico 2018 expedition. The New Hope sank in 1965 during Tropical Storm Debbie. The shipwreck is in ~800 meters (2,625 feet) of water.
Creep it real! Sea spiders, cup corals, food web, oh my! Happy Halloween!
It’s a treat, not a trick, for this sea spider seen snacking on a cup coral during an expedition to remote Pacific MPAs in 2017. Creep it real this #Halloween by learning the truth about sea spiders: they aren’t really spiders! Want more? Visit oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/facts….
I love that
@EVNautilus
gives us access to ocean exploration in real time. Hearing you collaborate, operate as a team and seeing your awesome discoveries are a real treat. Check out all the channels!
Marine sediments host an extraordinary abundance and diversity of microbes, but they're relatively poorly studied. Scripps PhD student Alyssa Demko hopes her research provides better insight into these communities. Read more about it here: scripps.ucsd.edu/news/scripp…
Deep sea exploration never disappoints!
The DOSI Deep-Sea Round-Up has landed. Happy Thursday! Please retweet to share the #DeepSea love 💙

Data logger Mary Deere, recent graduate @TempleUniv, processed water samples for ongoing eDNA studies to determine which species are found in seafloor and water column habitats.
Futures in marine science @NOAA and @csunorthridge!
After our last dive at Santa Lucia Bank, part of the proposed Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary near @NOAA_CINMS, we were busy processing samples. Science Manager-in-Training Taylorann Smith, grad student @csunorthridge, logged samples of this intricate glass sponge.

🚢DIVE ALERT🚢
Remember the Purple Orb? We're back in @NOAA_CINMS exploring the south slope of Anacapa Island, an area characterized by its distinct high coral and sponge diversity!
We're keeping an eye out for sea pens, brachiopods, and cup corals — can you help us spot them?

After working day and night to rebuild the flooded Argus bottle, the ROV team has succeeded! This remarkable accomplishment resulted from the perseverance and dedication of the #NautilusLive team, and is appreciated by both our ship and shore explorers.
