@helenczerski Thank you for this important article! We need so urgently a perspective change from #anthropocentrism and #greed to #kinship with #nature! Yes, it's time to talk about #ecosystems, to see #climatecrisis and #biodiversityLoss as connected. Perhaps we need a revolution in thinking: Plankton is more important for our survival than any businesspeople. Until we understand this we need more articles and books like yours. #ocean #sea #sealife #ecology #water

Let’s be honest, they produce a huge amount of pollution (I think even more than bitcoin 🤪)

Yeah, there is something fishy going on! Another grouper. Here in Florida we are known for these beautiful fish...I know right now we are known for crap politics, but I have to live here due to Hubby's job, so I am looking on the bright side as much as I can! Eyes on the ocean....ahhhhh

Just a few days ago I had to say goodbye again and my soul is already longing for one of its favorite places:
my beloved #Levanto at the Ligurian coast. It's part of the national park Cinque Terre not far from La Spezia.

#Vibrio Colonization Is Highly Dynamic in Early #Microplastic-Associated #Biofilms as Well as on Field-Collected #Microplastics
by Katharina Keys, et al, December 2020
Abstract:
"Microplastics are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems and provide a habitat for biofilm-forming bacteria. The genus Vibrio, which includes potential #pathogens, was detected irregularly on microplastics. Since then, the potential of microplastics to enrich (and serve as a vector for) Vibrio has been widely discussed. We investigated Vibrio abundance and operational taxonomic unit (OTU) composition on polyethylene and polystyrene within the first 10 h of colonization during an in situ incubation experiment, along with those found on particles collected from the Baltic Sea. We used 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and co-occurrence networks to elaborate the role of Vibrio within biofilms. Colonization of plastics with Vibrio was detectable after one hour of incubation; however, Vibrio numbers and composition were very dynamic, with a more stable population at the site with highest nutrients and lowest salinity. Likewise, Vibrio abundances on field-collected particles were variable but correlated with proximity to major cities. Vibrio was poorly connected within biofilm networks. Taken together, this indicates that Vibrio is an early colonizer of plastics, but that the process is undirected and independent of the specific surface. Still, higher nutrients could enhance a faster establishment of Vibrio populations. These parameters should be considered when planning studies investigating Vibrio on microplastics."

Wishart praises work of citizen scientists sharing killer whale sightings
Organised by Sea Watch Foundation, the annual citizen science event sees volunteer observers collect data on #whales, #dolphins & #porpoises in the waters around around #Shetland, #Orkney, #Caithness, and North #Sutherland.
A simple app for displaying local tide and surf conditions on an e-ink display.
- High and low tides over the next few days
- Wave heights (combined swell and wind waves)

Another fun puffer! Don't be fooled though. There's enough poison in 1 pufferfish to kill 30 adults. NO antidote. The skin is covered in spikes with this poison and can damage your hands or kill you. It's unfortunate that the dangerous things are so darn cute...lol

American #Impressionist painter Childe Hassam spent many summers on #Appledore Island off the coast of #Maine. Every year, he and a circle of musicians, writers, and other artists made an informal colony based at the home of his friend, the poet Celia Thaxter. This painting created in 1913 evokes the leisurely, seasonal rhythms of #America’s privileged families in the last years before the Great War.

To end with, a few picture postcard views of the beach. This is a beautiful stretch, with natural dunes, and because it's shallow the beach at low tide is huge.
This is my favourite picturefrom yesterday: a grey heron (Ardea cinerea) wading in the sea. I love the stark contrast and the almost abstract character that the bright backlight gives.

A closer view of the pier of Troon harbour. Not that it matters what it is, I took the picture for the composition, the quality of the harsh sunlight on the water and the haziness in the distance.
But the lighthouse gives a nice focus.
The beach is so varied: patterns in the sand in one place, dense patches of shells in another, rocks, seaweed, ...

It was a very calm morning to enjoy the start of a new day from my cruise vacation in April. It is just wide open seas somewhere between Jamaica and the port of Aruba. I've made it even more colorful with the use of digital brushes and textures applied to my photo.

This won't be everyone's cup of tea, in fact it will probably appeal to very few. However, as my photography develops I realise the camera is a tool I can use creatively to capture what a scene means to me. Sometimes the little details and nuances of light can be more memorable than the grand vista, or pull on the heart strings more. There is no fancy trickery here, just a camera and lens used in a creative way. #creative #triptych #bokeh #sea #ocean #shimmer #light #shimmer #sun #photography

Here are two pictures of Kirkjufell, one of the most popular photo spots in Iceland. Also known as "The Mountain shaped like an Arrow Head" from #GameOfThrones.

I went road cycling today along the seaside 😍
There’s a particular bay at the east of #Cannes, called Le Mouré Rouge, that’s hidden from the wind and where the water is very shallow and transparent it’s as though there were no water at all!
Noch ein kleiner Wattbewohner. In England hieße er Dunlin, in Holland wäre er ein Bonte Strandloper. Aber ich schreibe leider auf Deutsch, also ist es ein ... festhalten ... Alpenstrandläufer!
Der Name bezieht sich auf skandinavische Gebirge und wird dort erklärt:

Wenn etwas auf dich zurast und dich zu überrollen droht ... dann tu, was ein Sanderling tun würde!
#Sanderling #birds #nature #sea #beach #birdwatching #sleeping
Bestes Beispiel für fehlende Menschenangst: Ich stehe am Strand, diese beiden rennen auf mich zu. Ich gehe ein paar Schritte neben ihnen her, sie bleiben stehen ... "Da trampelt bloß einheimisches Großwild. Lass uns erstmal 'ne Runde kuscheln!"
Die Niedlichkeit von Sanderlingen ist genauso unübertroffen wie ihre Zutraulichkeit. Hab mal gelesen, dass das Fehlen von Menschenangst daher kommen soll, dass in ihrem arktischen Brutgebiet keine Menschen leben.
