Marine stars are facing unprecedented threats from warming seas and disease, but the IUCN Marine Star Specialist Group is turning critical data into official Red List assessments – check out their latest workshop below to see how! www.linkedin.com/pulse/out-sh...

Out of the Shadows: Assessing the Vulnerability & Resilience of Marine Stars

Without formal Red List assessments, rapid population declines across sea stars, brittle stars, feather stars and sea lilies remain invisible to the public and even resource managers. The IUCN SSC Mar...

The aggregating sea anemone (*Anthopleura elegantissima*) usually hosts dinoflagellate (olive-brown) &/or green algal unicellular symbionts. It gets most of its color from the symbionts, but when buried by sand - as these individuals were - it loses the symbionts & is white w/ pink tentacle tips. 🦑🌊

Clues to an ocean voyage: bull #kelp (*Nereocystis luetkeana*) grows in shallow water, attached to the rocks w/ its light-capturing blades on the surface. But this kelp is covered w/ pelagic barnacles that only grow on floating debris in the open ocean. This #seaweed has been drifting out at sea! 🌊🦑

You ever wonder what the genus "Pisaster" means translated out of Latin? The name is latin for "pisium" or PEA, alluding to the bean-like spines! Yes. it means "Pea Star"! #sonowyouknow #seastarsaturday #etymology

Some cute giant kelp gametophytes for #PhycologyFriday! 🌊

The non-native Dictyota cyanoloma (or “blue fringe weed,” named after its iridescent blue margins) is our seaweed of the week #PhycologyFriday

Happy #PhycologyFriday! These are some Lympha mucosa gametophytes we caught floating downstream a while back. Typically attached to stream bottom but with heavy rains were detached and dispersing. Lovely freshwater #redalgae

@coastalpaleo.bsky.social There are a lot of pieces like this one in the Point Arena formation in Mendocino County. They look sort of bone-like, but I really don’t know what to look for. Thoughts?

I highly recommend taking seven seconds out of your day to watch these minks playing in the river. #nature #wildlife 🐡

we can predict tides to the centimeter but the water right off the beach where people actually swim is still a blind spot. rip currents, temperature swings and wave energy that no buoy miles offshore is gonna catch. we are working on closing that gap 🌊 #Bobbers
