Scientist Javier Murillo Perez is currently aboard a Challenger 150 cruise with scientists from NOAA and Dalhousie University . Together, they’re examining deep-sea corals in the Atlantic Ocean. The cruise has included examining corals in some of Canada’s marine conservation areas.

I don’t know what is going on the past two weeks, but I keep finding new or rare species in the waters around Nova Scotia! Yesterday I observed this Gonionemus sp. — the second observation in the province! Nothing thrills me as much as seeing a jelly I haven’t seen before!

Spent today at the beach and this cloud had me mesmerized. Team saw schools of fish, nudibranchs, rock gunnels, kelp, moon snails.

The CPAWS Nova Scotia team had a great first day of surveys in Newfoundland with Miawpukek First Nation. It’s a great privilege to have been invited here to explore these places with the local guardians. Today we saw LOADS of stickleback, some eel, rainbow smelt, and HUGE pipefish

The most important study I've done in my career (25 yrs ago) revealed that freshwater animals were disappearing 5X faster than land animals in N. America -a loss rate similar to tropical rainforests. I was naive enough to think this finding would change the focus of conservation.
