🔎 Some of the most important structures in a mangrove are almost too small to see.

Look closely at the pencil-like roots (pneumatophores) poking up from the mud around a grey mangrove (Avicennia marina), and you'll find them dotted with tiny pores called lenticels.

👀 They're small but the tree can't breathe without them.

Mangroves grow in waterlogged, oxygen-starved sediment, so their roots can't get air the way most plants do. At low tide, these lenticels open up, letting gas pass between the atmosphere and the spongy internal tissue (aerenchyma) that channels oxygen down to the submerged roots. When the tide comes back in, they seal off.

🌳 And just like that, whole forests can thrive on the water's edge.

“Have you ever wondered what Jupiter would be like without the beach, Jupiter Inlet or the intracoastal?

Spending time around water is a summer tradition for people from all walks of life. It impacts our lives in many ways.

It’s time to shape the new story of water! ‘100 Days of Blue’ asks people to get in, on, near or under water daily for 100 days and to share your experiences through personal networks and social media platforms.

This simple gesture of expressing love for our blue planet demonstrates the vital role it plays in our health and wellbeing and helps us tell the new story of water each year throughout all 100 days of summer.
Help Wildbluesea grow the global Blue Mind movement .

Excited to share this news from our friends and colleagues at Florida Leatherbacks! While nesting beaches south of Jupiter Inlet have been substantially compromised, beaches to the north are still turtle friendly: dark, quiet, wide sandy beach and low-lighting.  As hatchlings return to the sea, we can remember how our actions lead to a healthy ocean home or continue to contribute to the plastic pollution sea turtles will ingest.

“Sea turtles dig the dark.” So does everyone else. At the Blue Mind Reset we’ve seen flying squirrels after the sun goes down. Heard other creatures rustling and chirping to each other. We’ve heard Yellow-crested Night Heron’s awkward squawking. We’ve seen a few more stars than we could around town. “Protect the night.”

Light pollution doesn’t affect just one species. It reshapes entire ecosystems.

Predator-prey relationships shift. Pollination declines. Migration patterns change.

Darkness is not empty. It’s essential!

Reducing unnecessary light helps restore balance to the natural world.

Blue Mind helps you be more calm, creative and fun. We’ve got proof! Good to meet everyone at the Blue Mind Reset last night. If you missed it, join us for the final Art Flow of the season on Tuesday, May 5 by clicking the ticket link in the comments.

Blue Mind Reset Art Flow is back! Tuesday, April 28 and May 5 on the Jupiter Lighthouse deck.
Set time aside for your wellbeing as we share art, nature and blue mind to create balance and wellbeing inspired by water. Wildbluesea has teamed up with talented local artist Sarah La Pierre to provide an artsy reset. We begin with a short blue mind talk and meditation then get out the watercolors for some free-flow painting practices guided by Sarah. No experience needed. This is time to unplug from to-do lists and connect to the natural world. Painting doesn’t have to be perfect. The movement of each brush stroke helps calm the nervous system as your mind is engaged in a soothing, focused activity. Much like the “soft focus” we experience being near and in the water, known as blue mind. We end with a social to enjoy our time together in this uniquely beautiful location overlooking Jupiter Inlet.

DETAILS: 6:30-8 pm Check in begins at 6:15 pm just inside the main entrance to Jupiter Lighthouse. Use the main parking lot by the inlet. Bring a beach chair, mat or cushion to be comfortable sitting and a notebook or journal with paper heavy enough for watercolor paints. We supply the rest.

Your $18 supports this program and Wildbluesea’s healthy waterways projects. ATTENDANCE LIMITED to 20. Advanced tickets highly recommended. Cash or credit card at the gate.

Mark your calendar for a night of blue mind creativity and community. We hope this evening brings a deep breath, a quiet moment outside and time with community.
