That popcorn-like crackling you hear underwater is a good thing — it means life is thriving. Scientists use underwater acoustics to monitor reef health, detect biodiversity loss, and even restore degraded reefs. 🎥: @runaaasheim

In case you forgot, we get all our best ideas from nature. They’re living the dream, catching the perfect wave while we’re over here just trying to catch a break. 😅 🎥: @channelislandsharbor

Found in the intertidal zones of beaches across the Indo-Pacific region, these sand bubbler crabs sift and spit out excess material, leaving behind a beautiful trail of tiny, perfect sandballs. 🎥: sahil.lokhandwala

Not just a Sunday spiral — it’s a Monday-Friday crisis too. Honestly, even on days off, who isn’t fantasizing about growing gills and ghosting humanity?

Animals from every corner of the globe are recovering from the brink of extinction. It’s a testament to the power of collaboration between scientists, conservationists, and the global community working to protect the diversity of creatures that call our planet home.

Microplastics have now been found in the human heart, lungs, brain, blood, testes, placentas, and breastmilk. Babies are being born pre-polluted by plastics. We MUST reduce the huge amount of plastic being produced and put into the marketplace, our bodies & the environment.

As part of the global 30x30 movement, New Zealand has committed to protecting 30% of its ocean by 2030.⁠ ⁠ But some misleading claims are muddying the waters about how much of their ocean territory is actually protected. So we’re breaking down a few persistent myths — and

They’re not called “great” for nothing... While most barracuda species max out around 2 feet (0.6 meters), the great barracuda lives up to its name — growing over 5 feet (1.5 meters) long and tipping the scales at more than 100 pounds (45 kilograms). 🎥: @rockythereal1

“If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them you will not know them, and what you do not know you will fear. What one fears one destroys.” ― Chief Dan George of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation

Tide pools are tiny universes where recognizable shapes meet alien-like textures. These small pockets of life offer a glimpse into a world of creatures perfectly adapted to cling, crawl, and thrive in the ebb and flow of the ocean. 🎥: @shifting_tides_nw

Not the marine biology lessons you asked for, but definitely the ones you NEED. Okay, maybe “need” is pushing it… but hey, sometimes learning is easier when wrapped in memes. You’re welcome.

Watching marine life suffer in plastic is devastating. Even the ones that escape entanglement are left to swim through the sea of trash that used to be their sanctuary.⁠ This isn’t subtle foreshadowing anymore. We’re deep in the middle of it – but the ending is still up to us.

Snake on land or underwater? We pick neither! Wait — sorry, we panicked. Which is *the opposite* of what you should do when you see one in either scenario. We’d pick both, because if you’re calm, cool, and collected, wildlife usually follows your lead. 🎥: @__naagaa_____

Happy World Reef Awareness Day! Though they cover less than 1% of the ocean floor, coral reefs support 25% of all marine life, providing food, shelter, breeding grounds, and so much more. They help feed millions and generate trillions in tourism and coastal protection.

Let this week’s positive news remind us: policy doesn’t change on its own. It changes because people push for it. Because communities keep showing up. Because persistence works, even when progress seems beyond reach.

If you’re bird, I’m a bird (threat). Send to the person you’ll follow until the ends of the Eearth and in every iteration. There are just some friends, partners, and family that you can never get enough of. 🎥: mcclawz

The Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker skips the inflatable life and instead uses a suction cup belly formed from its modified pelvic fins to cling tightly to rocks and kelp in strong currents. They’re not the best swimmers, but they may just be the cutest. 🎥: @getting_salty_

What starts as a whisper on the surface becomes a powerful force, connecting continents, carving coastlines, and moving with a rhythm (almost!) as old as Earth itself. 🎥: @conorhegyi

When you think of who could be crowned the ocean’s master of mimicry, the mimic octopus usually steals the spotlight — and fair enough. Impersonating lionfish, sea snakes, and flatfish? Tough to beat. Enter the juvenile batfish, floating like a dead leaf. 🎥:Tom.photography
