New technology can help us listen to the ocean. Yesterday we deployed an automatic glider that will record our whales for up to 30 days. Humbling to experience the vastness of whales’ lives.

MDI Biological Laboratory@mdibl.org · 2w agoThe Haller Lab traded lab coats for hiking boots and made the climb up Acadia's Beehive in time to watch the sun come up. We'd say the results were spectacular. #acadia #acadianationalpark #maine #barharbor #barharbormaine #visitmaine #nationalpark #mountdesertisland #newengland
Amazing capture… 🐙🩵✨
JBGarrity Photography@joegarrity.bsky.social · 3w agoWe came across two octopuses at dusk. They are nocturnal, so this is the best time to find them, since they are awakening to hunt for crustaceans and mollusks. #marinelifephotography #marinelife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #eastcoastkin #photography
✨Lots of territory covered here, including a new perspective, perhaps, of language itself, and how understanding nonhuman language can expand our understanding of the world…
