Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
The new Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite is crazy accurate. It can measure ocean altimetry to a mm, imaging internal waves and small sub eddies (rotating mixing zones). Tiny changes in height happen when water swirls (try it in a sink) with greater height at the edges due to centripetal force. These may be even more important for temperature & nutrient flux, so ultimately #ecosystem productivity & #carbon cycling. #science

Sorry folks, I'm reposting... This originally seemed to have gotten appended to someone else's thread on a different topic.

Some nesting and baby shorebirds at Nickerson Beach Park, in Nassau Co., NY. Shorebirds figure prominently among the 3 billion birds that have disappeared in the past 50 years, according to the Audubon Society. This is largely due to habitat loss and degradation, climate change, pollution and introduced predators. To be blunt, Capitalism with its inherent drive for growth is anathema to biodiversity and all life on our planet.

The Siletz Tribe has dedicated two decades to this reintroduction project.

As Michaela noted, a scientist stated that bringing otters back has “cascading effects” on the ecosystem.

This holds true culturally as well: multiple tribes will work together to renew their relationship with the sea otter once it returns.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🐝🌻 More than 4,000 species of wild #bees were already thriving in #NorthAmerica when European honeybees arrived in 1622. From tiny metallic green sweat bees to bumblebees that vibrate pollen loose through buzz pollination, these native species are often more effective pollinators than their famous cousins.

Many wild bees specialize in just one or a few #plant species, creating partnerships that have developed over millions of years where each partner's survival depends on the other.
