Hey, everyone!
It has been so long since I have posted - I've been extremely busy. I'm back now, and I plan on posting more often. Today's post is a short one, but I have many others coming up!
In this post I am sharing a few articles I have been reading and what's going on in the marine world!
1. The first article is about North Atlantic right whales. The right whales are some of the rarest whales, as they were so commonly hunted (and in some places still are) that the species began to die out. The whales were targeted because they have a lot of blubber and float when killed making them the 'right' whale to hunt. This article was about the first time they have been seen off the coast of South Carolina in three years.
2. This is a very inspiring video narrated by scientist Dr. David Vaughan, the executive director of the Mote Tropical Research Laboratory in Florida. He has been studying and working with coral in the Florida Reef Tract to slowly replenish the coral population. This video shares a very interesting discovery he made, some saddening data about coral over the past couple of years, and some encouraging statistics of the expectations for renewing the coral over the next few years.
3. This article was published a few years ago but is still by far my favorite article about the ocean. It tells the story of scientist Micheal Moore's journey to help entangled right whales, and his connection to one whale in particular. A touching, beautifully woven story with incredible images, Bayla is filled with interesting science and definitely worth the read.
I promise to update soon, and apologies again for not posting for a long time...
