Congratulations to Erin Easton, Ph.D. & Javier Sellanes, Ph.D., recipients of the 2025 Citation of Merit from The Explorers Club! In 2024, they led an international team with @schmidtocean.bsky.social & discovered 150+ new species on unexplored #seamounts in the Nazca-Desventuradas Marine Park.

It's time for the penguin weigh-in! 🐧 These three macaroni penguins from the 'Little Mac' colony on Bird Island near Antarctica are off to forage at sea to feed their new chicks. We use an automated weighbridge to monitor their weight and foraging patterns! 🪶 THE SOUND OF THEIR LITTLE FEET 😭

Shifting baseline syndrome explains how we normalise the continual visceration of once unimaginably rich ecosystems. Rewilding – our minds, lands, and seas – is the solution. 🌏

Deep sea mining plans blocked in Norway 🇳🇴🚫 Environmental groups described the news as a “historic win” for ocean protection. Oslo had planned to let companies apply to mine 280,000 sq km (108,000 sq miles) of its waters, an area greater than the UK, for deep-sea minerals.
