96 of 100 West Indian manatees bear scars from at least one boat strike. In one study, one of every four manatees examined had been hit by a boat 10 times or more.

“There is a psychotic sense of entitlement spreading around the world that imagines humans own the fish in the sea and demands retaliatory killing of predators who rely on these fish. Even centuries-old sages of the Arctic Ocean are not safe from this deranged human delusion.”

The licence to hunt Gannets was rejected this year. But it's only a pause. We need the Scottish Parliament to permanently ban the barbaric killing of Gannet chicks.

Today is International #SaveTheVaquita Day! 🎉 With fewer than 20 left, the Vaquita is the world's most endangered marine mammal. I painted this piece in the hope of raising awareness for vaquita.day. #Cetacean #Whales #Porpoise #Endangeredspecies #Conservation #Animalart #Sciart #NatureArt
A painting of 3 Vaquitas swimming underwater among some corals and underwater plant life. 

This painting was made for Save the Vaquita Week 2026 in hopes of raising funds and awareness to help the vaquita come back from possible extinction. 

Save the Vaquita Postcard Print is a limited run of 100 signed 5x7 inch postcard prints, on premium cardstock, and will be signed and numbered on the back.

This hand painted original postcard print is a little token and a reminder that you made a difference in helping the Vaquita. All funds will be donated directly to porpoise.org for Save the Vaquita Week!

Some ecological changes are easy to see. Wolves returned to Yellowstone and became an international story. Lake trout arrived in Yellowstone Lake and quietly reorganized an ecosystem. One became a symbol. The other remained largely invisible. My latest for Mongabay:
news.mongabay.com
Like wolves, non-native lake trout have radically altered Yellowstone ecosystems (commentary)
Yellowstone National Park is often told as a story of recovery. Wolves returned and then elk changed their behavior. Willows and aspens then rebounded and rivers, it is said, changed course. The reintroduction of wolves in 1995 is one of the most familiar ecological narratives in the world. But the Yellowstone ecosystem was not waiting […]

Every Day Should Be Earth Day!! The Ribbon Eel is a striking Eel found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. About 51 inches long, they have high dorsal fins, flared nostrils used to sense movement, breathing through an open & closed mouth to pump water over their body. Diet of small fish, shellfish. See Alt 👇
The Ribbon Eel, or Moray Eel with its striking colors is known for its vibrant color changes and unique reproductive biology. It has a long slender body, high dorsal fins that run the length of the body, flared nostrils to sense movement and breathe with their mouth open in an open and close manner to pump water over their body. Start life as males and transform to females as they age with colors changing with their transformation. Found in Sandy burrows or along coral reefs they will be under the sand with only their head sticking up to hunt and ambush its prey. Diet includes small fish and shellfish. They swim in a slow undulating motion . Listed as least concerned that status is rapidly changing with the climate change. Lives 20 years in the wild. Does not adapt to aquarium conditions and usually only lives a month in captivity.
