The ocean is complex, to say the least. Conditions can be very different at the surface versus at depth depending upon how currents and water masses are moving over large scales. @SeascapeScience discusses the complexities in a new @islandinstitute blog:

The workshop is taking place in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District. We opened the proceedings with a thoughtful letter from @RepChrisPappas, a true champion for strong science and environmental managements, outlining the importance of what we’re trying to achieve.
For our first session, @booshke_giin and @melissakenney from @UMNews outline key principle of @design__justice and cognitive factors that need to guide our work.
Things looked hairy at Buoy B yesterday, but measurements at the Jeffreys Ledge waverider further offshore, also operated by our partners at @UofNH, topped 30 feet yesterday! In fact, more detailed data from @CDIPBuoys show a single wave in excess of 15m - nearly 50 feet!
20 foot waves and 35 knot winds, gusting to over 40 - yikes! It’s rough out there as this Nor’easter blows off steam. As much as we all love the ocean, we hope everyone is warm, safe, and dry on land today!

By researching and monitoring sea level rise, tides, and coastal flooding, we can prepare for what’s to come in the not-so-distant future! 🌊
Visit gmri.org/flood-prep to access resources and recommendations for how to prepare for upcoming high tides.

Decades of work by partners nationwide is at risk from proposed cuts in the @usioosgov budget, even as climate change reshapes the ocean & human uses evolve as a result. Make your voice heard so champions in Congress can preserve our essential services!

Katy Bland, Engagement & Research Associate for @NHSeaGrant & @neracoos, will be adding additional capacity in the region as the new part-time Program Manager for the Maine Offshore Wind Research Consortium through a new shared role with @Maine_Sea_Grant. seagrant.unh.edu/blog/2024/0…
We're excited to expand our partnership with @NHSeaGrant to include @Maine_Sea_Grant as well with the shared goal of building the science needed by all ocean users as offshore wind energy develops in the Gulf of Maine.

Today the #RWSC released the first research plan to guide regional data collection and studies of offshore wind & wildlife. @NERACOOS, @MARACOOS, and @SECOORA helped to develop these recommendations, and we can't wait to continue collaborating! rwsc.org/science-plan/
Our tide gauge in Hampton, NH documented major flooding this week, and we expect even higher water levels on Saturday. Stay safe out there! water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydr…
Holy cow! This week's weather kicked up some mighty big waves along the East Coast. Newer waves buoys set records, and even the old guard stations recorded wave heights that were only exceeded by Superstorm Sandy. We hope everyone stayed safe for the holiday season!
CDIP stations along the east coast measured historically large and powerful waves earlier this week, caused by an intense extratropical storm. Coastal inundation and erosion was widespread. This bulletin summarizes the complete data set available at cdip.ucsd.edu.

Check out this excellent overview of the eMOLT* program that we are working to expand with a collaborative team lead by @GOMLF! 🦞
*eMOLT: Environmental Monitors on Lobster Traps and Large Trawlers
🦞 Thought technology was a land-based endeavor? Think again. Scientists are deploying sensors in #lobster traps to collect data. More in a new storymap from National @SeaGrant American Lobster Initiative 👉 ow.ly/ElPa50PXUp1 @GOMLF #SeaGrantLobster #sciencetwitter

Happy #FieldworkFriday!
This buoy is part of the NOAA #OceanAcidification observing network and it just got redeployed by @UNH researchers in the Gulf of Maine with new sensors!
Buoys in this network are important for our understanding of #OurChangingOcean conditions

Important news for mariners & communities in southern Mass: The Buzzards Bay buoy has been removed for service due to a ship strike. Bad timing as the remnants of Hurricane Lee approach but other resources can provide valuable information. Read more here:
