Mesmerizing video from cofounder @oceanramsey taken on her and @juansharks annual Guadalupe trip! 2020 dates are now set, contact our office if you’re interested in joining one of the expeditions, and check out @savingjawsmovie if you haven’t already for more content like this! 😍 #Repost @oceanramsey ・・・ Words can’t do them justice, but you can, be a voice for those without a voice, speak up and #HelpSaveSharks Help save these beautiful and important creatures from the unsustainable and cruel slaughter of over 100,000,000 sharks for shark fin soup and just-for-sport in shark fishing tournaments. Write to your local law makers or even just stores and restaurants or marinas that support these activities or any company supporting the slaughter of sharks for fins, meat, teeth, jaws, cartilage, oil, etc. This slow motion vid shot a couple days ago, while it cannot create the same feeling experienced when this is live in front of you so appreciate slow motion to be able to replay and observe details, even the beauty of the pilot fish and their shadows as they glide along with the worlds most perfect predator. Annual white shark trips with @juansharks and @silenthunter_pty and I email @oneoceandiving to join us next October 2020 for an educational and exciting one week expedition to visit these incredible GREAT white sharks. #perception #evolve #sharkfishing #sharkfinsoup #perfect #perfection #dontcrackunderpressure #freestlye #slowmotion #sharks #shark #whiteshark #greatwhitesharkslowmotion #oceanramsey #ocean #juansharks #oneocean #oneoceanglobal #oneoceanresearch #oneoceanconservation @oneoceandesigns @oneoceandiving @oneoceansharks @oneoceanconservation @oneoceanresearch @oneoceaneducation @oneoceanglobal (at Isla Guadalupe) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4qGFwEHT9u/?igshid=1hliqhycop9ij

"A Call For Action" - 🔵@maestro320 s Notes: This post from The World Economic Forum @worldeconomicforum was shared to me by My Good Friend, Artist, Designer, Fellow Conservationist and Environmentalist, Nadezhda Alexander @the.siberian - We need to act before it's too late. • Global surface temperatures have increased about 0.74 °C (plus or minus 0.18 °C) since the late-19th century, and the linear trend for the past 50 years of 0.13 °C (plus or minus 0.03 °C) per decade is nearly twice that for the past 100 years. The warming has not been globally uniform. Some areas have, in fact, cooled slightly over the last century. The recent warmth has been greatest over North America and Eurasiabetween 40 and 70°N. Lastly, seven of the eight warmest years on record have occurred since 2001 and the 10 warmest years have all occurred since 1995. Increasing temperature is likely to lead to increasing precipitation but the effects on storms are less clear. Extratropical storms partly depend on the temperature gradient, which is predicted to weaken in the northern hemisphere as the polar region warms more than the rest of the hemisphere. It is possible that the Polar and Ferrel cells in one or both hemispheres will weaken and eventually disappear, which would cause the Hadley cell to cover the whole planet.This would greatly decrease the temperature gradient between the arctic and the tropics, and cause the earth to flip to a hothouse state. A 2015 study published in Nature Climate Change, states: About 18% of the moderate daily precipitation extremes over land are attributable to the observed temperature increase since pre-industrial times, which in turn primarily results from human influence. For 2 °C of warming the fraction of precipitation extremes attributable to human influence rises to about 40%. Likewise, today about 75% of the moderate daily hot extremes over land are attributable to warming. It is the most rare and extreme events for which the largest fraction is anthropogenic, and that contribution increases nonlinearly with further warming. - #Conservation #Education #Research #OneOceanGlobal #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_9--7ivj2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16172mqilwkjh

SOUND ON🔊Reposted from @maestro320 - "A Million Conversations" - 🔵Maestro's Notes: 🔊🔊🔊 SOUND ON! This incredible footage was filmed on location off the Coast of San Benedicto Island, Archipielago de Revillagigedo courtesy of the Director of Pelagios Kakunja @pelagioskakunja , Marine Biologist, Dr Mauricio Hoyos Padilla @amaukua - False killer whales in Revillagigedo (June 2018, in San Benedicto)!!! The false killer whale (Pseudorca crassidens) is a large oceanic dolphin that inhabits oceans worldwide but mainly frequents tropical regions. It was first described in 1846 as a species of porpoise based on a skull, which was revised when the first carcasses were observed in 1861. The name "false killer whale" comes from the similar skull characteristics to the killer whale (Orcinus orca). Although there is considerable controversy regarding the absolute level of declines, there is good evidence of large-scale reductions in many predatory fish populations (e.g., Baum et al. 2003, 2005; Sibert et al. 2006; Polacheck 2006) and over-fishing and collapse of several important “prey” fish stocks world-wide (Jackson et al. 2001). The effects of such fish population reductions and subsequent ecosystem changes on world-wide populations of false killer whales are unknown but could result in population declines. The false killer whale is covered by the Agreement on the Conservation of Small Cetaceans of the Baltic, North East Atlantic, Irish and North Seas (ASCOBANS), and the Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans in the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Contiguous Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS). The species is further included in the Memorandum of Understanding Concerning the Conservation of the Manatee and Small Cetaceans of Western Africa and Macaronesia (Western African Aquatic Mammals MoU) and the Memorandum of Understanding for the Conservation of Cetaceans and Their Habitats in the Pacific Islands Region (Pacific Cetaceans MoU). - #Conservation #Education #Research #OceanOptimism🌊 #OneOceanGlobal🌏 #FalseKillerWhale #Pcrassidens #PelagiosKakunja #SanBenedictoIsland #ArchiepelagoDeRevillagigedo #Mexico #Pods #Communities #Earthlings🌏 #WeAreAllEarthlings🌏 #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B2OUTjPgCD7/?igshid=1u0wrvzke82c5

“Who knows what the owners of the biggest brain on the planet dream about?” - Sir David Attenborough, Blue Planet II This is a #repost from @maestro320 via @PhotoAroundApp These are powerful excerpts from the highly acclaimed documentary series, The Blue Planet 2, presented by Naturalist, Legendary Broadcast Journalist, Vice-President of Fauna and Flora International @faunafloraint , My Good Friend, Sir David Attenborough @david_attenborough through The British Broadcasting Corporation @bbc and BBC Earth @bbcearth and shared to all of us through my friends is conservation at Wildlife First @wildlifefirst - Even sperm whales need power naps—and this is the fascinating way they drift off to sleep. 🐋💤 - 🔵Until just a few years ago, it was thought that sperm whales, like other cetaceans, only allowed one side of their brain to rest at a time, "keeping one eye open," as it were, in order to do "important things that require physical activity, such as coming to the surface to breathe or avoid predators," explains Nature's Matt Kaplan. "They never fully let their guard down." But in 2008, a team of researchers off the coast of northern Chile happened upon a pod of vertically bobbing sperm whales that seemed completely oblivious to its presence. Not a single whale responded to the team's boat until one of them was accidentally nudged, at which point it awoke and fled, along with the rest of the group. The team's findings suggest that, unlike other cetaceans, sperm whales appear to enter short, but periodic, bouts of sleep throughout the day — an observation that Kaplan says could hint that sperm-whales are actually "the least sleep-dependent mammals known." - #Conservation♠️ #Education👓 #ResearchByMaestro🎓 #OceanOptimism🌊 #OneOcean🌊 #OneLove💙 #OneOceanGlobal🌍 #SpermWhales #Cachalot #VerticalSleep #Sleep #Calf #ProtectWhatYouLove💙 #SaveOurOceans🌊 #SaveOurPlanet🌏 @oneoceandiving #wildlife #SpermWhale #Whales #WhalesDreaming #SirDavidAttenborough https://www.instagram.com/p/Buf8HWyglws/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nopdqfe2gu57

💙 Your daily doses of vitamins SEA 🌊 ⠀ from @sharks. Words by @oceanramsey Jaws was a fictitious film whose poster kind of looks like this, so this is my effort at an Anti-Jaws type media piece @savingjawsmovie . I’ve been swimming with sharks my whole life and working professionally with them for over 15 years. There’s a challenge I have in my efforts, to find a balance between helping people to overcome their fear of sharks that often stems for fictitious demonizing media and instilling a healthy level of respect for sharks as very capable apex predators ApexPredatorNotMonster not puppy (cause if you pet puppies often even puppies bite, actually a lot ;)). Having worked with sharks for so long I can fully appreciate what they are capable of because I have been rushed by sharks and had to deter them and I have had to leave the water and I have watched them actively predate and compete for space and have confrontations. However, I’ve also had the most incredible moments of my life in the water with them where 99.9% of the time they cruise gracefully around and so long as I keep looking around and pay attention constantly and quietly and give respect and attention to the more dominant individuals and challenging juveniles on a CONSTANT bases I am treated as more or less an equal predator. Never complacent, always respectful and adapting at every second to every movement. I reached the point long ago where I dedicated my life to conservation and I love it, I love educating people about sharks and introducing them to them in a professional guided situation through the program I co-founded @oneoceandiving where we also collect data @oneoceanresearch @oneoceansharks and help support conservation through @Oneoceanconservation and @OneoceanEducation and @Oneoceanglobal @Waterinspired @oneoceanhawaii and other with funds from @oneoceandesigns and diving I love studying shark behavior and body language and its an absolute pleasure to share that with people and help them to better appreciate sharks and I hope inspire them to help save them.

- "First Day Of School" - 🔵Maestro's Notes: Wait for it. 😂 Once in a while, I venture out of the deep and feature amazing footage of our cute friends on land such as this video filmed on location in Antarctica courtesy of Conservationist, Wildlife Photographer and Filmmaker, Nicholas Cullen @npcullen - And the other one of my favourite videos so far 😁 Follow the leader 🐧🐧🐧 • Did you know: Emperor Penguins can dive up to 530 m (1,750 ft) for as long as 20 minutes - they hold the record for the deepest and longest dive from a bird. The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguinspecies and is endemic to Antarctica. The male and female are similar in plumage and size, reaching 122 cm (48 in) in height and weighing from 22 to 45 kg (49 to 99 lb). The dorsal side and head are black and sharply delineated from the white belly, pale-yellow breast and bright-yellow ear patches. Like all penguins it is flightless, with a streamlined body, and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine habitat. Its diet consists primarily of fish, but can also include crustaceans, such as krill, and cephalopods, such as squid. In hunting, the species can remain submerged up to 18 minutes, diving to a depth of 535 m (1,755 ft). It has several adaptations to facilitate this, including an unusually structured haemoglobin to allow it to function at low oxygen levels, solid bones to reduce barotrauma, and the ability to reduce its metabolism and shut down non-essential organ functions. The only penguin species that breeds during the Antarctic winter, emperor penguins trek 50–120 km (31–75 mi) over the ice to breeding colonies which may include thousands of individuals. The female lays a single egg, which is incubated by the male while the female returns to the sea to feed; parents subsequently take turns foraging at sea and caring for their chick in the colony. The typical lifespan of the emperor penguin is around 20 years in the wild, although observations suggest that some individuals may live to 50 years of age. - Rp from @maestro #Conservation #Education #Research #OceanOptimism #OneOceanGlobal #EmperorPenguin https://www.instagram.com/p/BprixxNHvjj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hjo96jt55m2y

#Repost @finalliance (@get_repost) ・・・ Even more prized in China than #shark fin is the bladder of a #totoaba fish. But the pursuit of the fish has lead to the decline of the #vaquita porpoise population. With an estimated less than 30 alive, these may be the last days before the vaquita’s extinction. 🐬 Article linked on our fb page #savetheoceans #savetheseas #savevaquita #marineconservation #oceanconservation #oneoceanglobal

FLORIDA! Repost @oceanicpreservationsociety ・・・ TAKE ACTION!⁠ If you're in Florida, please join our partners @SharkAllies and attend the hearing for House Bill HB401 (that will ban the shark fin trade in the state of Florida) on 1/15/2020 at 1PM! Link in bio for more details. ⁠⠀⁠ This is the 2nd of 3 committees that the House bill has to pass. We need to show support for the bill in a BIG way. There will be people in attendance that will oppose the shark bill, so we need to show up and be ready to represent sharks!⁠ ⁠🦈⠀⁠ WHERE: Tallahassee State Capitol, 400 S Monroe St, Tallahassee, FL 32399 – Webster Hall inside 212 Knott Building. Knott Building is an auxiliary building that can be reached via the Senate Building or the new Capitol Building. There is a walkway bridge that goes from the second floor of each building to Knotts building/Webster Hall. ⁠⠀⁠ ⁠⠀⁠ WHEN/HOW: Jan 15, 2020 at 1:00 pm (arrive at the room 12:30pm). Give yourself extra time to park and walk to the capitol complex and to find your way around. As you enter the courtyard that is in the middle of the complex, you may already see people walking about. Look for anyone that looks like an animal advocate or a diver, they should be milling about. Get there early to fill out a card before you enter Room #212. On the card, you can state your name and whether you would like to speak. You can check that you wish to speak and when your name is called during the meeting, you can simply say “I waive in support”. That way your opinion gets recorded. There will be others there that have been to hearings that can help you through the process. Don’t be shy and ask whoever is standing around. However, don’t grab any food or drinks that might be set out in the meeting room – those are for committee members only! #NoFinFL!⁠ #OPSociety #SharkAllies #RacingExtinction #SaveSharks #oneoceanglobal @oneoceanglobal (at Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7UjCGLAGTt/?igshid=1cu8j1skfhi8s

"Words Of Wisdom" - 🔵@maestro320 Notes: There is so much controversy surrounding shark bites lately. The advice experts will give borders on the same principle of respecting another beings home. But most humans just dont seem to get it. Add #Arrogance with #IgnoranceByChoice, that brings you closer to disaster. With scars still visible from a near fatal shark bite, this humble avenger for sharks went ahead and spoke for their importance and conservation. This is an excerpt from an interview during #SharkWeek years ago featuring Veteran Shark Diver, Underwater Wildlife Photographer and Filmmaker, Mark deGruy. @divingdeepthemovie - We are deep in the midst of Shark Week so we thought we’d share a clip of Mike deGruy dispensing some wisdom. Given that he survived a nearly fatal shark attack and continued to make films about sharks and speak out about shark conservation, we think he knew a thing or two. Mike deGruy (December 29, 1951 – February 4, 2012) was an American documentary filmmaker specialising in underwater cinematography. His credits include Life in the Freezer, Trials of Life, The Blue Planet and Pacific Abyss. He was also known for his storytelling, most notably, a passionate TED talk about his love of the ocean on the Mission Blue Voyage. His company, Film Crew Inc., specialized in underwater cinematography, filming for BBC, PBS, National Geographic, and The Discovery Channel. His notable accomplishments include diving beneath thermal vents in both the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean. He was a member of many deep sea expeditions and was a part of the team that first filmed the Vampire Squid and the Nautilus. He was also part of the Deepsea Challenge, where James Cameron went to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. In 2016, production began on a feature-film documentary about his life and work titled Diving Deep. The documentary is planned for release soon. Additionally, Mike was also well known for being attacked on 2 April 1978 by a grey reef shark. He was severely bitten on his lower right forearm.

Credit to @respectanimalrights - (not many posts before IG banned my posts, this is frustrating. I can't tag, I reported to instagram yesterday again,maybe they decided to restrict more with me), well I ain't gonna shut up) "We Need This Everywhere" This is from @maestro320 I tag when it's possible - When I saw Julia Wheeler's #iamjuliawheeler and Kate Nelson's #plasticfreemermaid posts about the excessive amount of Ocean debri found in "world class beaches and freediving venues", this trash-gobbling monster came to mind. The video came from fb.com/ScienceNaturePage and was shared by Hashem Al-Ghaili #hashem.alghaili . Its a simple design that specifically targets surface or floating trash and would be a great tool in cleaning up the worlds oceans. Unfortunately, there were no links or sources posted on how this novel invention could be mobilised and deployed in many critical places worldwide. For those might know more, please let us know. I'm sure many private or responsible government agencies are interested in investing in this tool. - #Conservation #Education #Research #OceanOptimism #OceanTrash #OceanCleanUp✔️ #EndTheUseOfSingleUse 🚫 #oneocean 🌊 #onelove #oneplanet #oneoceanglobal #Compassion #empathy #faith #hope 🎈 #love

Beautiful #slomo Reposted from @maestro320 - "Moments In Flight" - 🔵Maestro's Notes: This beautiful footage was filmed on location off Thulusdhoo Island in The Maldives courtesy of Kraken @kraken.tours - We met this pod of angels outside Thulusdhoo.. Simply magical 😍 . ‘Some of the greatest minds on earth live in the seas.’ _ AW 🔊: Gotheh Thalhey, @symbolicrecords 🤙🏾 • Porpoising, also known as running, is a high speed surface behaviour of small cetaceans where long jumps are alternated with swimming close to the surface. Despite the name, porpoising behaviour is seen in dolphins and porpoises, as well as other marine species such as penguins and pinnipeds. When marine mammals are travelling at speed they are forced to stay close to the surface in order to maintain respiration for the energetic exercise. At leisurely cruising speeds below 4.6 m/s, dolphins swim below the water's surface and only briefly expose their blowholes along with up to one third of their body at any one time. This results in little splashing as they have a very streamlined shape. Porpoising occurs mainly when dolphins and porpoises are swimming at speeds greater than 4.6 m/s. Here, jump length is roughly equal to distance traveled when the cetaceans are submerged. This exposes the blowhole for longer which is needed to get enough oxygen to maintain metabolism and therefore high speeds over long periods of time. Studies have also shown that leaping is more energetically efficient than swimming above a certain threshold speed. This is due to the reduction in friction when travelling in air compared to water which saves more energy than is needed to produce the leap. These benefits also outweigh the energy wasted due to the large amount of splashing often seen when groups are porpoising. Porpoising is therefore a result of high speed swimming which cetaceans use for important pursuit and escape activities. For example, dolphins may be seen porpoising away from their main predator, sharks or the direction of incoming boats to avoid collision. - #Conservation #Education #Research #OneOceanGlobal #OceanOptimism #Dolphins #Porpoising #SurfaceBehaviour #Cetaceans #Thulusdhoo #Maldives https://www.instagram.com/p/B2dCna7gabw/?igshid=1vpqxeknkcpkz

From the incredible depths of the ocean a Sperm Whale is spotted . This is a #repost fromfrom@maestro320 via @PhotoAroundApp "Somewhere In The Abyss" - This amazing footage of a magnificent Sperm Whale was filmed at 598 meters (1,962 ft) below the Gulf of Mexico off the Coast of Louisiana courtesy of Nautilus Live @nautiluslive using ROV Hercules. - The whale circled several times and gave our cameras the chance to capture some incredible footage of this beautiful creature. Encounters between sperm whales and ROV's are quite rare. - The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) or cachalot /ˈkæʃəˌlɒt, ˈkæʃəˌloʊ/ is the largest of the toothed whales and the largest toothed predator. It is the only living member of genus Physeter and one of three extant species in the sperm whale family, along with the pygmy sperm whale and dwarf sperm whale of the genus Kogia. The sperm whale is a prominent user of echolocation and communication, with vocalization as loud as 230 decibels (re 1 µPa at 1 m) underwater. It has the largest brain of any animal on Earth, more than five times heavier than a human's. Sperm whales can live for more than 60 years. Spermaceti oil (called "sperm" for short), from which the whale derives its name, was a prime target of the whaling industry, and was dominant for use in oil lamps, lubricants, and candles. Ambergris is a solid waxy waste product from its digestive system. It is still highly valued as a fixative in perfumes and other uses. It remains as flotsam from deceased whales, and is sought by beachcombers. The species is now protected by a whaling moratorium, and is currently listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN). - #Conservation #Education👓 #ResearchByMaestro🎓 #OceanOptimism🌊 #TheBlueDot🔵 #OneLove💙 #OnePlanet🌍 #OneOceanGlobal🌏 #SpermWhales #GulfOfMexico #ROV #Hercules #TheirFutureIsOurFuture #EqualityForAllSpecies🌍 #Hope🎈#Faith🙏 #Love❤ #Compassion #Empathy #ProtectWhatYouLove💙 #GoVegan🌱 @oneoceandiving @oneoceanglobal @waterinspired @oneoceanresearch @oneoceaneducation @oneoceanconservation @keiko_conservation @savingmantas @respectanimalrights @dp4k.m @orcatalkoz @finpinshop
