An update from #CROCHET🧵👇
We didn't dive for Cross Border Coral Habitat Exploration on Friday, but onboard measurements and experiments continue.

Get ready to dive in!
Dr. Martha Nizinski and her team are live right now as they explore the first and only marine national monument in the Atlantic Ocean!
Tune in as they explore Oceanographer Canyon to study the deep-sea organisms that live there: bit.ly/4cK79hh

Shark Week hammers away about shark “attacks” and driving fear into beachgoers, writes WCS's Merry Camhi in today's @NYDailyNews. But that gives these magnificent predators a bum rap.
In reality, sharks have been hunted to the brink.

Post-doc opportunity at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in Maine working on climate change & shell disease in #lobster🦞. It’s a great team 😉 and a super interesting project. bigelow.freshteam.com/jobs/b…
There's only one ocean.
All life on our only planet is a wholly owned subsidiary.
This is today's most urgently important story.
Here we go again, a new record anomaly for North Atlantic sea surface temperatures.
Today's anomaly is a full 1.15°C above the 1982-2023 mean for the day. I thought the previous peak was high, but I may need to extend the y-axis again soon!

I'm not an expert on global ocean dynamics. And it's highly likely a 'Super' El Niño is developing, see excellent blog from @NOAAClimate:

In the United States, fisheries management at the state/territory level is less funded and less regionally coordinated than federal fisheries management. A new paper explores the management status of non-fed fisheries. Read more: sustainablefisheries-uw.org/…

Laura has long chaired MARCO's Ocean Planning and Data Team work group, which guides the work of the Portal. We're so lucky to have such an enthusiastic and supportive leader 💙🌊
For #WomensHistoryMonth, we are celebrating our Virginia MARCO Board member, Laura McKay of @VirginiaDEQ. Take a look at her interview to see what advice she has for other women in science and #oceanplanning!
