    It’s#WhaleWeek! We’re celebrating these majestic marine mammals, which are among the largest and oldest animals on Earth. They can be found in every ocean and range in size from the small dwarf sperm whale to the massive blue whale—the largest animal on the planet. Learn about the science and technology we use to study and conserve whales:https://lnkd.in/gJjv9hVB

  • Whales are among nature’s most awe-inspiring animals—but did you know they play a critical role in coastal economies and ocean health? They support whale watching tourism and are key indicators of environmental change.Whales spend most of their lives out of sight underwater, only surfacing to breathe, so we often depend on advanced technologies to monitor and learn about them. As technology evolves, NOAA researchers are continually exploring and implementing these new advancements.This Whale Week, Kim Damon-Randall, director of NOAA Fisheries Office of Protected Resources, invites you to take a deeper dive into the types of technology we use to study these iconic animals. You can also learn how to watch whales responsibly, and simple ways you can help whales and other marine mammals.#WhaleWeek #Whales#NOAAhttps://lnkd.in/espBquDcPicture 1 (left): Gray whale mother and her calf on their northbound migration.

  • NOAA Fisheries has released the 2023 editions of Fisheries of the United States and Fisheries Economics of the United States. The reports provide a snapshot of fisheries statistics and help us understand the state of the seafood industry and how to support American seafood competitiveness.Our 2023 reports showed U.S. commercial fishing, seafood industries, and rereational fishing continue to play an essential role in our coastal economies.Fisheries of the United States:https://lnkd.in/dZvVcqfHFisheries Economics of the Unites States:https://lnkd.in/dvC7C7dC#Seafood#Fisheries#NOAA

  • LSATs: Same name, different stressors. While “the LSATs” are a stressful exam for law school applicants, these LSATs—long sediment-laden algal turfs—are a major stressor for Florida’s coral reefs. New research shows these thick, hairy carpets of turf algae trap sediments and sand on the surface of reefs. This prevents coral larvae from settling, and reinforces a “turf trap” that limits recovery—even in areas with abundant herbivorous fish. The findings challenge long-standing assumptions about how reefs recover. They highlight the need for restoration strategies that address sediment dynamics and turf algae alongside traditional management approaches.https://lnkd.in/gNqguTsdPhoto 1 (left): A colony of grooved brain coral (Diploria labyrinthiformis) outplanted by NOAA’s CoRAL Team growing on a reef in Miami, FL.

  • Today is World Wetlands Day! How do we love thee, wetlands? Let us count the ways: Wetlands—including marshes, mangroves, swamps, and floodplains—provide many valuable benefits. They serve as homes for the fish we eat, protect coastal communities from storms, and help filter pollution out of our water. We work with partners to protect and restore these habitats, so that they can provide economic and ecological benefits that fisheries and communities depend on.https://lnkd.in/gHvyi5T#WorldWetlandsDay#CelebratingWetlands
