The ocean is vast, dynamic, and difficult to access. Through a program at @stanfordhopkins.bsky.social, scientists and collaborators are able to test low-cost sensors, remote sensing imagery, and other technologies at scale – bringing innovative approaches to ocean research.

Before the tipping point
As oceans warm and ecosystems shift, Stanford’s Hopkins Marine Station is helping detect trouble early—and prevent collapse before it begins.

Kayla Kauffman studied rice-fish farming in the Senegal River Basin, where adding fish to rice fields may boost yields, increase farmer incomes, reduce agrochemical use, and help control schistosomiasis-carrying snails.

Absolutely gorgeous green algae from Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷 Possibly Boergesenia forbesii / Valonia forbesii. I believe that the bubbles are single, inflated cells - amazing!

Last but not least, I grabbed the scrapbooks that document the history of @stanfordhopkins.bsky.social. Only the first album has been scanned & this is now at the top of my digitization list. Totally irreplaceable. 4/
A series of large scrapbook volumes sit on a table in a library. The closest album is the oldest and the fattest. A look inside the oldest album. There is a photo of Timothy Hopkins, who donated money to build the marine station, and a letter from Hopkins to the director of the marine station at that time (1934), Walter K. Fisher.

You’re on a boat in a small bay near where the movie Jaws takes place. It’s a deep summer night. A dear friend is in the water, and you find there’s a huge, tagged white shark in that same bay. What’s your reaction? What do you do? How does it turn out? stephenpalumbi.substack.com/p/born-preda...
