Vic Quennessen, a PhD student @OSUAgSci, loves green sea turtles. Now she's researching them. In this webinar from @OregonSeaGrant, she talks about how she plans to use computer simulations to see if ones off Brazil can adapt to rising beach temperatures. bit.ly/3ensv6q

Ever heard a blue whale or gray whale? @OSUAgSci & @osu_fw alum @sfregosi26 plays these sounds & more in this webinar from @OregonSeaGrant. Selene talks about how she records the sounds of whales to see where they are & how noise pollution may affect them. bit.ly/2I2tBZe

It’s getting spooky down here, just in time for Halloween! 👻 This ghostly “horse head” stalked tunicate — or sea squirt — was spotted by #NautilusLive in @NOAA_CINMS along with its commensalism polychaete, also known as a bristle worm!

The ocean is at a tipping point, which means we still have a chance to tip things back in the right direction—if we act now!

We have a new doctor in the house! Congrats to @Portland_State's @stellar_seas on defending her PhD today. Britta studied #microplastics in oysters & razor clams & created an exhibit @orcoastaquarium. Part of her research was funded by @OregonSeaGrant. Britta now works @OurOcean.

Here's a fun fact for #WorldOctopusDay: Octopuses shed the skin on their suckers. Here's a video of our octopus @OregonSeaGrant's public science center doing just that as she grooms herself. 🐙🐙🐙
