It was an exciting day out on the bank today! I saw my all-time favorite whale (Pitcher) who started breaching and flipper slapping during our trip, and found a pod of Atlantic white-sided dolphins on the way back home 🐬 #StellwagenBank #MarineLife #HumpbackWhale #Dolphins

The Grande Dame of Stellwagen Bank has returned! Salt is the first named and most well studied of the GoM humpback population and inspired 50+ years of whale research and conservation. We’re very excited to see her back again at her summer home! #Salt #HumpbackWhale #StellwagenBank #MarineLife

It’s still a little crazy to me that whales hang out so close Boston. And I’m so grateful I get to see them all the time 🐋🦑

Got some great looks yesterday at a few fin whales, lots of feeding humpbacks, and this big old Mola hanging out at the surface in #StellwagenBank #whales 🦑

I love spotted eagle rays. Love them! #MarineLife

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.
