Don't forget to submit your O-STEAM application next week!! https://seagrant.whoi.edu/k-12/o-steam/ 2025 dates: 🌊 Info Session: Feb. 6, (recording on website) 🔬 App Deadline: March 14 🛶 Fellowship: August 10-16 @whoi.bsky.social @sea1971.bsky.social

SEA Assistant Professor of Oceanography, Heather Page, has co-authored a new study believed to be the first, examining the interaction of pelagic Sargassum on Acropora cervicornis corals under current and future ocean acidification conditions. 🦑🌊 sea.edu/news/assista...

At the heart of ocean conservation is education. 🦑🌊 This summer SEA is offering an undergraduate program exploring topics of ocean governance specifically looking at the effort to protect 30% of the Earth's ocean.

📣 Do you know a MA high school sophomore or junior who could benefit from a free, week-long program in #oceanscience this summer? Check out our O-STEAM fellowship: seagrant.whoi.edu/k-12/o-steam/

Excited to have URI Associate Professor of Marine Affairs @dr-mendenhall.bsky.social join us tonight at 8:00 pm ET for a discussion around the international politics of deep sea mining. us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

The Equatorial Pacific ocean plays a very interesting role in the unfolding climate crisis. Join Dr. Jan Witting as he discusses the state of our knowledge of the region, while also describing what the open questions and future research needs are. Tonight at 8:00 pm ET. sea.edu/research/upc...

Tonight at 8pm ET Dr. Heather Page will be hosting a virtual presentation on Conserving Caribbean Coral Reefs: Understanding Climate Change Impacts and Solutions to kick off the first of our Faculty Lecture Series. Full schedule & registration links sea.edu/research/upc... youtu.be/TrX0fjSQjzo

SEA is excited to announce a virtual Faculty Lecture Series. Starting January 22, SEA will host a leading expert in ocean science, marine affairs, or the blue humanities to discuss some of today's most pressing issues in ocean conservation. 🌊 #OceanConservation sea.edu/research/upc...

We are excited to unveil a new brand video that celebrates both SEA’s legacy of ocean-going voyages and its expansion to include shore-based programs in coastal communities around the world. youtu.be/i8ObOQWh13Q

✨Creature Feature✨ These sparkly critters are an unusual species of copepod called Sea Sapphires (Genus Sapphrina). The iridescent colors are the result of alternating layers of hexagonal guanine crystals and cytoplasm in a specialized layer of cells just below the hard exoskeleton. 🌊 #MarineLife

Last week, former Secretary of Education of New Zealand and former Director of Education for the World Bank, Maris O'Rourke (left), stopped by the Seamans in Auckland Harbor to chat more about SEA with Captain Allison Taylor and the crew.

🌊 Oceanographers: this thread and linked article underscore the importance of NOT misconstruing passive ocean anthropogenic carbon uptake as contributing to the quest for net zero.

By providing high school students with the opportunity to gain hands on experience in marine science, we can help deepen their understanding of the ocean, strengthen critical thinking skills, and prepare them to tackle environmental challenges in their future academic and personal pursuits. #EduSky

This summer and fall, high school students were able to watch the transformation of a planktonic lobster larva to a juvenile lobster. They named him Larry and this is his story. #marinelife 🌊 sea.edu/news/from-pl...

Amelia Rastley from @colgateuniversity.bsky.social participated in this past summer's Coral Reef Conservation: Fiji program. Amelia's research this summer examined how the ocean floor affects the variety of organisms and surfaces covering coral reefs.

I love that this is still a program! I sailed on the SSV Westward an SEA alum from circa 1993.

This is what science at sea looks like for undergraduate students participating in one of SEA's study abroad programs #science #seaeducation

We are excited to announce Dr. Richard Hopper as SEA's next president. Rick will be joining SEA later this fall after having served as serving as Chief of Party for a US-funded higher education reform initiative in Vietnam.

Meet one of the newest member of SSV Robert C. Seamans, Cap. Cap is a paper nautilus pulled from one of the daily neuston tow deployments. Students on board the Seamans are participating in SEA's Oceans & Climate program, sailing from Fiji to Aotearoa New Zealand. 🦑🧪🌎 sea.edu/program-list...

Recent blog from the Seamans: "It is so hard to wrap my mind around the fact that I am currently doing science out in the middle of nowhere ocean, and it is even harder to grasp the fact that I am getting to play at sailor scientist right now (never expected that combo)." 🧪🦑 sea.edu/ship-blog/ti...

Proctor Academy's Ocean Classroom students have set sail north toward Lunenburg, Nova Scotia for their first leg of their voyage focusing on fisheries, wildlife, and the history of whaling. Read more about this custom program and the full voyage plan: www.proctoracademy.org/explore-proc... 🧪🦑🌎

Learn more about the molecular work @scarletscience.bsky.social does with undergraduate students participating in SEA's Marine Biodiversity & Conservation semester program.

I'm excited to be visiting SUNY-ESF, @colgateuniversity.bsky.social, and Hamilton College this week to talk about SEA's amazing programs! Let me know if you are in the area and want to meet up!

A leader in ocean education for more than 50 years, SEA remains committed to providing unique opportunities for students to engage with the ocean, gaining insights into the complexities and consequences of climate change.
