• Repost from @ocean_networks 🔊sound on to hear the stark contrast between an orca communicating with and without a vessel passing through • Every year, Salish Sea residents eagerly await the return of the southern resident killer whales to their Summer feeding grounds. In late June 2020, the orca community’s three extended family groups or pods were spotted off the coast of Vancouver Island. This year a total of 73 orcas—made up of J, K, and L pods—have returned to a quieter ocean due to the COVID-19 shutdown, and recent sightings suggest that a member of J pod is pregnant. READ more about these endangered social mammals and their future, we spoke to Ocean Networks Canada’s junior staff Scientist Kristen Kanes, who specializes in passive acoustics research methods to study at-risk cetaceans 🎧 LISTEN & compare: this video reveals the difference between orcas communicating in hushed seas and orcas communicating with a vessel passing nearby.

  • Repost from @ayanaeliza • We can’t solve the climate crisis without people of color. But we could probably solve it without racists. My latest, in @time. Link in bio. Online today and on newsstands tomorrow in a special climate issue: ONE LAST CHANCE — The Defining Year for the Planet. 🌎🔥‼️ Shoutout to editor Lucas Wittmann, and to friends @kendracanwrite, @chloeangyal, and @juliaioffe for edits. It takes a village. 💛 #IntersectionalEnvironmentalism or bust. #BlackLivesMatter #ClimateCrisis #ClimateJustice

  • Happy Endangered Species Day! A wonderful reminder of the importance of the Endangered Species Act and the efforts by the many organizations who protect endangered species and restore populations. 🌎 This photo is of the beautiful and unfortunately, endangered Short-tailed Albatross. Today we are reflecting on the stakeholder engagement work we led to bring @noaa scientists, regulators, and fishing industry representatives to the table to design non regulatory solutions to help protect these majestic birds from accidents with fishing vessels. • • • #endangeredspecies #endangeredspeciesday #albatross #shorttailedalbatross #stakeholderengagement #wildlife #seabirds

  • Repost from @goodtimegirlstours ! A fun bit of history in our region 🌷🌷 • #Onthisday in #Bellinghistory, May 4, 1922 the Herald announced the opening of the third annual Tulip Festival, with Tulip Queen Aletta would receiving her crown that evening from father time at the state armory in front of 2400 spectators. A two-mile parade featuring 5,000 people and 100 floats and cars was scheduled for the following day. Bellingham’s Tulip Festivities were eventually replaced by “Blossomtime” after the Tulip farms relocated to Skagit County. Today’s Ski-to-Sea Festival is the latest incarnation. #tulips🌷 #tulipfestival #tulipqueen #bellinghamwa #bellinghamwashington #pnwhistory #blossomtime #skitoseahistory
