Fun filming project with our friends at @aquariumofthebay.bsky.social. Hot new video dropping soon! Such an amazing place full of friendly, dedicated people. A holiday bucket list item for sure! Especially the new River Otter Snow Days exhibit - so adorable! #sanfrancisco #pier39 #givingtuesday

Acknowledging our presence on unceded lands is a hand of respect for the wisdom and knowledge of those who came long before us. The future of our coastal shores and its amazing wildlife need those voices now more than ever. #indigenous #nativecalifornia #marineconservation #wildlifeconservation

Celebrating our 15th mission collecting acoustic data and conducting wildlife surveys in the near coastal waters of San Francisco. We are studying whales and ways to better protect them. In case you missed it, check out the recent feature on CBS News Bay Area: www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco...

The ocean’s underwater world is an ambient symphony of sound. Whales, dolphins and other species rely on sound to hunt for prey, communicate and as a navigation aid during migrations. We are exploring the soundscape in our local waters to study human impacts on this delicate ecosystem.

Another successful mission at the Golden Gate to pull acoustic samples, conduct wildlife surveys and visual observations. Thanks to our friends at the @sfestuaryinstitute.bsky.social for offering an EXO2 sensor to test the waters for salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen. bit.ly/4ixBr9O

Just an hour north of San Francisco, this coastal hamlet holds both natural and cultural significance. Responsible stewardship of this vital ecosystem begins with respect. #duxburyreef #sanfrancisco #indigenouspeople

Listening in on the world of whales. Another successful mission of collecting underwater sound samples and surface observations! Always a great day at sea with fantastic crew and Captain Buddy at the helm! To learn more, click here: bit.ly/4ixBr9O @aquariumofthebay.bsky.social

We are very fortunate to have so many dedicated scientists, innovators, conservationists and community leaders working together to preserve and protect our precious ecosystem! Many thanks to all for the wonderful work you do! #sanfranciscobay #climatechange #greeninfrastructure #sfbay

So delighted to participate in this year's Career Day at the fabled west coast campus of Cal Poly Maritime Academy! Always a pleasure being surrounded by talented young seafarers who may change the way we live, work and protect our planet's oceans! Thanks to all who stopped by to say hello!

Wrapping up another successful field day of acoustic sampling and wildlife surveys. Most of the mission was spent monitoring and reporting a severely entangled whale to the NOAA Fisheries Response Team. Happy news as the whale was rescued and freed within 24 hours! This is why we do what we do!

So delighted to report that the entangled humpback whale our SeaSounds Project team encountered recently in the field has been successfully rescued and set free! Many thanks to the highly trained NOAA Fisheries Mammal Stranding Response team who put their own safety at risk to do this vital work.

During our field work yesterday the SeaSounds Project crew encountered a distressed Humpback Whale entangled in crab fishing gear. Response teams from Marine Mammal Center, Cascadia Research and NOAA Fisheries responded within 24 hours and are on scene now trying to free this magnificent mammal.

While most in the San Francisco Bay area enjoyed a spectacular air show overhead, the BayQuest crew kept focus on things beneath the surface. Special thanks to our friends at San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) and HappyWhale.com for the special sensor equipment to strengthen our acoustic study.

With a healthy respect for San Francisco Bay and a deep connection with the wildlife within, our team is actively involved in the study, monitoring and conservation of this dynamic ecosystem. To get involved, visit our website and drop us a line today! #sanfrancisco #marinescience #oceanscience
