Had a great time visiting the new aquarium extension building today! #marinelife🦑

More harbor seal photos from the marina! #marinelife🦑

Since 2013, a mysterious epidemic wiped out billions of sea stars. A new study finally identifies the culprit. My latest for @nytimes.com (gift link below!) #marinelife www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/s...

I always have such bad luck spotting amphibians so I was super psyched to come across these guys! Look at him float!

From today’s -2.0 tide! Probably the last one of the season here. #marinelife🦑

Unexpectedly at the park today, saw some guys I don’t usually see! #marinelife🦑

Spotted during today’s -2.3 tide! #marinelife🦑

Usually I only see turtles sunning in the pond but we found this guy just off the trail digging in the sand! (He had plenty of space I just zoomed in with the camera)

From today’s -2.25 tide #marinelife🦑

Big day here at the obsessed with hummingbirds factory

Saw some turtles at the lake today

Had a -2.2 tide today, hard to see much with all the seaweed but found a couple anemones #marinelife🦑

Behold: my masterful harbor seal photography #marinelife🦑

Spotted a flicker out at the lake!

Keep forgetting to post here, have some more spring photos

It finally stopped raining long enough to go outside today!

Got to visit one of my dad’s favorite spots from when he was in college - the tidepools at Dana Point - and found my first Spanish Shawl nudibranch 🥹 🦑🐙🌿 #nudibranch

Forgot I could post in the #marinelife🦑 feed, please enjoy some harbor seals I saw in California

Heron spotted at the lake!

Saw a jay in the park! It’s been weirdly sunny this week

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

I got so many good seal pics this trip but my fave is this seal just. Hollering. In some eelgrass

Saw a few sea otters today!

Some nice tree photos from the park:

This is a very big deal. Cheers to the Chumash tribe for getting this done, and cheers to President Biden for his consistent efforts to give Native people some input over land that was taken from them. www.npr.org/2024/10/13/n...

Spotted a massive egg yolk jelly at the marina 🍳✨

Turned over a moon snail’s egg casing and found a small party

lol I forgot about this account! Please enjoy these chitons I saw on Sunday

More UV pics, this time a flat worm with a funky little pattern hanging out around some barnacles 🪱

UV light photos from night tidepooling came out well! Anemones, red seaweed, dog whelk eggs, and shrimp really showed up on camera, but damn was it freezing

I’m not really sure how I want to use Bluesky yet. Maybe for aquarium and tidepooling stuff? I’m going night tidepooling this week so hopefully I’ll see something cool. Meanwhile please enjoy some chitons I saw last summer. (The 4th pic is a gumboot chiton ✨)
