🌊While Port Ross in the Auckland Islands enjoys protection, many vital whale habitats in New Zealand waters remain vulnerable. Vessels are entering these critical areas more frequently than anticipated. 🎥 Animation by University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau tracks whale movements alongside vessel paths.

nobody will remember: - your salary - how “busy you were” - how many hours you worked people will remember: - how many squid facts you knew - if you offered others squid facts - how you made people feel when you told them a squid fact

Time for another clarion call for ‘hurkle-durkling’ (18th-century Scots): lounging in bed long after it’s time to get up.

A new PhD study identifies the Australian & Antarctic marine predators most vulnerable to severe weather events, esp during breeding - and it offers a roadmap for targeted conservation efforts to protect species under threat in a changing climate: tinyurl.com/3fsha45t

How hot is "too hot" ? Shallow coastal waters and mangroves are pretty important for mangrove whiprays, but these habitats are getting hotter. Find out more here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #flatsharkfriday #physioshark

Cool study! love these little critters so much 🦐🩷🤎❤️

Not many New Zealanders see weeds as an urgent biosecurity priority, but they pose as great a threat as our four-legged, two-eyed predators. The PCE has written to the Ministers of Conservation and Biosecurity to ask for greater action on weeds. bit.ly/weeds2024

Please remember the rule, folks: Some summers are hotter than others, but every summer is now warmer than if the same weather patterns happened decades ago. The summer of 2024 was still warmer than the vast majority of the summers of Julia's childhood.
