Happy World Ocean’s Day!
🌊 🪼 🌊 🪼 🌊 🪼 🌊 🪼 🌊
To celebrate here is the latest crazy sighting from the E/V Nautilus Exploration, a mysterious jellyfish found in remote Pacific depths. Dr. Dhugal Lindsay helped identify this jellyfish as a member of the order Narcomedusae, and an undescribed species within the genus Bathykorus. You love to sea it 🌊

Tour the Ocean through the Art of Sound
The ocean is one of the largest ecosystems on our planet. From eye-catching waves to the darkness of the twilight zone, it’s a place filled with mystery and rapid change.
For a scientist studying ocean color at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, there was one more question–what does it sound like?
Before long, a “symphonic ocean experience” was born, combining satellite imagery, ocean color data and programming expertise. Learn more about how data gets converted to music and sound here:
This World Oceans Day, enjoy a tour of the ocean set to sound. Here we go:
Bering Sea
This melody explores the phytoplankton blooms in the western Bering Sea along the coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula collected by Aqua/MODIS on May 15, 2021. The melody created for this image was aimed at capturing the movement of the eddies or the circular movements of water. Data came from the image’s red, green, and blue channels.
Rio de la Plata
This melody explores a spring bloom in the South Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil, lending the water many different shades of green, blue, and brown. The Rio de la Plata estuary in the northwest corner of the above image gets most of its tan coloration from sediments suspended in the water. The melody paired with the data evokes the sediment plumes and swirls happening off the coast.
Coral Sea
Data for the sounds of the Coral Sea were collected over the course of one year from the Aqua/Modis satellite. The information was extracted from a series of 32-day rolling averages for the year 2020, displaying the movement of chlorophyll a data.
Chlorophyll a is a specific form of chlorophyll used in photosynthesis. It absorbs most energy from wavelengths of violet-blue and orange-red light. It is a poor absorber of green and near-green portions of the spectrum, and that’s why it appears green.
Western Australia
Off the coast of western Australia is the appearance of swirls in the ocean. To catch the movement of the Indian Ocean, data was collected from 31 days of imagery examining blue wavelengths of light. The information was gathered from the Suomi-NPP/VIIRS instrument aboard the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) series of spacecraft.
More moments of zen
Looking for more moments of zen? Explore them with NASA’s Soundcloud page, where many are out of this world. Curious on how we get these breathtaking ocean images? Take time to read about Goddard Oceanographer Norman Kuring and how he helped create them.

June 8 is World Oceans Day
so here are some articles about women I taking care of our oceans
https://today.ucsd.edu/story/scripps-led-fellowship-program-promotes-equal-access-for-students-interested-in-scientific-diving
“In an effort to make the diving community a more inclusive and diverse space, Scripps PhD candidate Erica Ferrer and then-PhD candidate Alyssa Griffin (now Assistant Professor at UC Davis) launched the SCUBA DIVERsity Fellowship Program at Scripps in the fall of 2022. They have worked alongside Scripps Director of Diversity Initiatives Keiara Auzenne and Scripps Dive Safety Officer Christian McDonald to create this fellowship program that provides undergraduate and graduate students with scientific diver training, access to gear, and even swimming proficiency lessons for those who have limited experience in the water.”

World Oceans Day with a 17th-century curio: The world’s first encyclopedia of marine life illustrated in color fused science and myth in that "here be dragons" way we've always had of filling the gaps in our knowledge — among the very real marine wonders was a drawing of a (very unattractive) mermaid.

It’s not just the start of summer, today is also #WorldOceansDay!
In DEATH TO THE LIVING, Long Live Trash, Duke Riley (@dukerileystudio) interrogates the consequences of modern human lives upon the natural environment and links the early history of global trade, colonization, and displacement to the overdevelopment of waterfront regions and the ongoing contamination of Brooklyn’s waterways.
The exhibition is an attention-grabbing reminder of the importance of our local waterways and the crucial role the global waters play in our lives.
Learn more about #DukeRileyBkM and plan your visit.

It's World Ocean Day!
Oceans are teeming with biodiversity, like these ascidians (Class Ascidiacea) which are filter feeders.

Fish Love Campaign, 2015
Photographer: John Swannell
*My absolute favourite photo of Dame Judi - posted across all the Judi Dailys for World Oceans Day.
Fishlove is a series of striking and iconic photographs of famous people with fish which has uniquely succeeded in getting the subject of over-fishing and the need for marine conservation onto the front covers of the global media.

Did you know that the ocean produces at least 50% of our planet’s oxygen? World Oceans Day serves us as a reminder of the importance of the oceans in our daily lives. They are the planet's lungs, a major source of food and medicine, and an essential component of the biosphere. Let’s come together for sustainable efforts and stopping plastic pollution in order to save the oceans.
With 90% of big fish populations depleted, and 50% of coral reefs destroyed, we are taking more from the ocean than can be replenished. To protect and preserve the ocean and all it sustains, we must create a new balance, rooted in true understanding of the ocean and how humanity relates to it. We must build a connection to the ocean that is inclusive, innovative, and informed by lessons from the past.
Today we raise awareness about impact of human actions on the ocean by developing a worldwide movement for the ocean.
Today we renew our commitment to protect the worlds oceans, for this generation and for those to come.
This year’s United Nations World Oceans Day, on 8 June 2022, will highlight the theme Revitalization: Collective Action for the Ocean.
“The ocean connects, sustains, and supports us all. Yet its health is at a tipping point and so is the well-being of all that depends on it. As the past years have shown us, we need to work together to create a new balance with the ocean that no longer depletes its bounty but instead restores its vibrancy and brings it new life.”
