Researchers filmed a live colossal squid in its natural habitat for the first time! 🦑 The juvenile was spotted 2,254 feet below sea level near the Antarctic South Sandwich Islands. This amazing footage gives scientists a new look at this mysterious creature. 🌊

Ship collisions and noise are pushing whales to the brink–but there’s a simple solution. Slowing down ships could save thousands of whales and other marine life.

It may not look like much, but the light coloring on this little piece of filter paper is around 2 billion marine bacteria. While I've been out sailing along Line P, I'm trapping bacteria on these slips of paper by pumping water through the tiny little holes in the paper that are smaller than the bacteria but large enough for water to slip through. Once I get these to the lab, I can pop the bacteria open to collect their DNA and see who lives in the water and what they can do.

I’ve found several amazing Bluesky custom feeds and starter packs around marine biology so I’ve created a Save Our Oceans @surf feed that combines them all and I am really enjoying it.

If you’re testing Surf, check it out here. If not yet in the beta, you can join the waitlist on the link below and use my referral code: Surf+JeJord.

This week's #NewBooks at the library: A second-hand copy of Microlands from Robinson Publishing. A brand-new copy of #Dartmoor Tors Compendium from Tavicinity (having been given the book on geology, I couldn't go without this gorgeous book. Expect reviews). And, a hand-me down from a library in Liverpool, the old but still valuable Ancient Marine Reptiles from Academic Press #Books #Scicomm #Bookstodon #Microbiology #MarineBiology #Geology #Paleontology #Palaeontology

A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. On the left, standing up, Microlands, showing various diatoms floating in a blue water column. In the middle, lying down, Dartmoor Tors Compendium, showing a black-and-white photo of a granite tor. On the right, standing up, Ancient Marine Reptiles, showing a painting of a mosasaur rearing up out of the waves. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books and part of the beech-coloured laminate floor.
