Global Coral Bleaching Event (GCBE4)
Heat stress has impacted nearly 85% of the world’s coral reefs: @NOAA and the International @ICRI_Coral_Reef Initiative confirmed the ongoing 4th Global Coral Bleaching Event (GCBE4) - the largest to date. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #CoralBleaching

Tragic News: The planet has reached the climate tipping point I've been warning about on my podcast. Scientists from around the world agree that unless global heating is cut to 1.2°C as fast as possible, warm-water coral reefs will vanish. #TippingPoint #Climate #Coral

Green sea turtles are thriving in San Gabriel’s urban river. We have recognized that sea turtle river populations are not just in isolated pockets, but thriving communities. Many of these discoveries originated from essential citizen scientists. #TurtleTuesday #CitizenScience

Every disaster movie begins with ignoring scientists.
A massive ocean heat wave known as The Blob” is hitting the Ocean from Kamchatka to California, with temperatures several degrees above normal, spanning thousands of miles, and can alter weather on land thousands of miles away. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Seawater quality (or lack of) testing. #FridayFieldUpdate
The average surface ocean pH has dropped from 8.11 in 1985 to around 8.05. While this might not sound like much, the pH scale is logarithmic, so this represents a 15% increase in acidity. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #Coral #CoralBleaching #Acidification

Celebrating World Octopus Day! Octopodes have three hearts: two hearts pump blood to the gills to pick up oxygen, and a third, larger "systemic" heart circulates this oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body. #WorldOctopusDay #Octopodes ❤️❤️❤️🐙
Oct8 is naturally World Octopus Day! Celebrating and raising awareness of the intelligence and fascinating characteristics of octopodes (the original Greek, and we believe correct plural.) #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WorldOctopusDay #Octopodes ❤️🐙✒️

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

Unfortunately, research is slower than the speed of climate change. Previous and current sea turtle nesting studies have only examined temperatures up to 91°F, and nesting beaches in South Florida have already recorded sand temperatures exceeding 93°F to almost 96°F.

Help out our friend Andy, he is doing critical cleanup in hard to reach locations.
Trash fields like this one accumulate hundreds of pieces over decades, but a motivated person only needs a few minutes to clean them up. If you'd like to help, please consider donating to my Patreon https://t.co/XbjUdy8EEp

Update: Plastics accounted for 85% of all collected items. Of those items, nearly 40% were plastic and Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam fragments smaller than a dime; more than 65 pounds of microplastics were collected. #FridayFieldUpdate

The use of the buddy diving system by scuba divers and freedivers is a safety procedure designed to enhance the chances of avoiding or surviving accidents underwater. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #Twosday #ScubaDiving #DiveGirls #DiveAgainstDebris
