Research on the critically endangered Rice's whale in the Gulf of Mexico reveals the most significant threats are energy exploration and development, oil spills, and dispersal chemicals. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WhaleWednesday #RicesWhale #GulfofMexico

Sea turtles that have ingested plastic are developing infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Research has shown that plastic waste floating in the ocean serves as a refuge and vector for these pathogenic microorganisms. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday #Plastics #MarinePollutant

Redefining "harm" under the Endangered Species Act to exclude habitat destruction and mandating “economic toll” threaten vulnerable species like the Florida manatee by prioritizing development over ecosystem preservation. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #ManateeMonday

In honor of #NationalGirlfriendsDay yesterday and #ShakespeareSunday today, “A lady. Whose soul is greater than the ocean, and her spirit stronger than the sea's embrace. It will be a love story. For she will be my heroine for all time.” #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Today is #MarineProtectedAreas (MPA) Day, raising global awareness about these protected zones in the sea or along coasts and their vital role in safeguarding fragile habitats, ocean health, biodiversity, and climate resilience. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Seawater temperature and quality testing involves measuring physical, chemical, and biological factors, such as temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen, using specialized field tools like Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) meters. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate

Recent scientific findings show that the fourth global mass coral bleaching event impacted over 84% of the world's reefs in 83 countries between 2023 and 2025. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #Research #Coral #CoralBleaching

We are surfers, sailors, divers, scientists, and activists on a hero’s journey to recover ocean plastic, restore habitat, and mitigate ocean warming & acidification. “We are not strangers separated by countries; we are a tribe connected by ocean.” #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

It is Earth Overshoot Day. Today, humanity has used all the ecological resources and services that Earth can regenerate in an entire year. Sustaining the current consumption level would require the equivalent of 1.73 Earths. #WetTribe #EarthOvershootDay #July30

The Wet Tribe brand has a tribal theme and is represented by a Haida-inspired ‘tribal moon’ symbol. The moon was selected because it is a protector and guardian, controlling the ocean tides, as well as illuminating the dark night. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Tonight’s July full moon is traditionally named the Buck Moon because this is the time of year when male deer (bucks) grow their new, velvet-covered antlers, according to Native American traditions, it is also known as the Thunder Moon. #WetTribe #FullMoon

#WorldTigerDay focuses on protecting natural habitats and stopping the decline of wild tiger populations, with 5,500 to 5,700 tigers remaining. #Mangrove loss severely threatens rare #tiger populations, most notably the #BengalTigers in the #Sundarbans.

A rip current is a strong, narrow stream of fast-moving water that flows straight out from the shore through breaking waves. Moving as fast as 8 feet per second, faster than an Olympic swimmer, pulling swimmers away from the beach, making them a potential hazard.

After discovering more than 200 nests damaged or destroyed by Tropical Storm Bertha on Saint George Island, the Sea Turtle Patrol rescued 14 nests and has since found almost a dozen new, unaffected nests. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday

#Mangroves are vital coastal #ecosystems that provide ecological and economic value: Protection against #stormsurges and erosion; Essential #nurseries for #marinelife; Natural #filters for #pollutants; #carbonsequestration mitigating #climatechange.

Plastic debris drifting across the open ocean is no longer just pollution; it is creating entirely new habitats. #PlasticRafting occurs when marine organisms hitchhike on or under floating plastic debris rafts. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #OceanPlastic #InvasiveSpecies

The ‘International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem’ raises awareness about the vital ecological importance of mangroves and promotes sustainable solutions for their global management and preservation. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WorldMangroveDay #SundayMorning #Restoration

Coastal cleanups are a last line of defense to prevent debris from entering the ocean, causing harm to wildlife, marine habitats, and even increasing climate change. 80% of plastic in the ocean is from land-based sources. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #SaturdayMorning #CoastalCleanups

Rollbacks to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) by the Trump Administration gut protections, putting over 100 vulnerable Florida wildlife species at risk while easing or removing restrictions on the development of wild land. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #EndangeredSpeciesAct #Florida

At least 44,000 people were evacuated from southwestern #France as #wildfires continue to sweep through the region and destroy over 12,500 hectares. In #Spain, 40,000 people in the #Madrid region have been told to #evacuate as two of three major wildfires merge into one.

In a borrow from our July 3rd Friday playlist, we are going with “Doctor My Eyes” (Remastered) by Jackson Brown, ft. David Crosby and Graham Nash youtu.be/gtlqZOT2fOo for our Friday Feeling. #WetTribe #TideotheOcean #FridayPlaylist #FridaysforFuture #FridayFeeling

Mangrove propagules found floating along with debris during ocean plastic recovery tie our cleanup, mangrove, and coral protection efforts together—as mangroves have been shown to lower ocean acidification. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #Cleanup #Mangroves #Coral #FridaysforFuture #ClimateChange

Coexisting mangrove-coral habitat is an ecological pairing in which corals grow within or alongside mangroves, acting as a natural filter, maintaining water quality, and serving as a nursery for marine life. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WetlandWednesday #CoralWeek #CMC

Coral reefs and sea turtles maintain a vital and mutually beneficial relationship. Turtles keep reefs clean and diverse, while reefs provide turtles with food, shelter, and navigational guidance during every life stage. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday #CoralWeek

It is Coral Reef Awareness Week! 🪸 — Highlighting the importance of coral ecosystems, which support over 25% of all marine life. It is long past time to address threats such as climate change, pollution, and overfishing. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoralReefAwareness

On Sundays We Surf! "When you do dance, I wish you a wave o' the sea, that you might ever do nothing but that, move still, still so, and own no other function." —William Shakespeare, ‘The Winter's Tale’ #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #Surfing #ShakespeareSunday

Every sail is an opportunity to survey local waters for ghost nets and ocean plastic—combining modern technology with our time on the water, we transform a sailing trip into an opportunity for conservation and data collection. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #SaturdayMorning #Sailing

We put together an ocean-warming and coral-inspired Beatles playlist: ‘Yellow Submarine’ —The Beatles youtu.be/ztHxu-13UqI “So, we sailed on to the sun 'til we found a sea of green, and we lived beneath the waves in our yellow submarine.” #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayPlaylist #OceanTheme
