Purchase a Walking Tree Brewery Mangrove Series IPA at any of your favorite bars, restaurants or craft beer retailers and we'll donate a portion of every IPA sold to back to orca ORCA and the amazing work they are doing. @teamORCA #IPAsForWaterways
Ocean Research & Conservation Association Thank you for your advocacy! ORCA monitors fish health, maps pollution, and restores shoreline habitats. Healthy waters help the #BrevardIndianRiverLagoon
Today BTT hosted a media event and panel discussion as part of our #WinBackOurWater campaign to highlight the challenges facing the Indian River Lagoon and the progress being made.
Velvet belly #lanternsharks are #bioluminescent , but have never been seen glowing at depth before. While in #Norway with Nicolas Straube (Universitetet i Bergen, Universitetet i Bergen_museet), we attempted to film this phenomenon.
Thanks Ocean Research & Conservation Association for archival bioluminescence footage.

Glyphosate is another contaminant impacting Florida fisheries. New research from the Ocean Research and Conservation Association Ocean Research & Conservation Association found glyphosate in 125 fish sampled from the #IndianRiverLagoon , raising new concerns about its use in aquatic systems.

Students had so much fun building an ROV with Ocean Research & Conservation Association during their Science Institute of Discovery class on June 16th!
Missy Weiss, ORCA's Director of Citizen Science & Education, assisted students alongside her intern, Katy, to help make their ROVs come to life! 🙂
Incoming 3rd graders participating in The Learning Alliance Moonshot Moment have the chance to channel their inner #scientists w/ lessons from ORCA this month.
We provide classroom & field-based lessons that are exploratory, educational, inspiring, & impactful.
