🐋 Whales need protection!

A recent article from All At Sea examines Antigua and Barbuda’s support for reopening commercial whaling and the concerns surrounding this position.

The article highlights public opposition to commercial whaling, including a survey finding that roughly two-thirds of Antiguans and Barbudans oppose the practice. It also explores the importance of protecting whales from commercial hunting and other threats to their survival.

Whales play an important role in healthy marine ecosystems. Protecting them requires meaningful conservation efforts, informed policies, and a commitment to safeguarding marine life for future generations.

🚨 500 Feet of Illegal Netting Removed From Sanibel Waters 🌊

A 500 foot illegal gill net was recently discovered off Sanibel Island, trapping marine wildlife and putting countless other animals at risk.

Wildlife rescuers and conservation partners worked together to remove the net and free the animals caught inside. Among those found were a live manatee, rays, numerous fish, and a bonnethead shark that unfortunately did not survive.

Gill and entangling nets have been prohibited in Florida waters since 1995 because of their ability to indiscriminately entangle and injure or kill marine life, including fish, sea turtles, and marine mammals.

Incidents like this are an important reminder of the dangers that abandoned, lost, or illegally used fishing gear can pose to our Ocean. Prevention, responsible fishing practices, and continued conservation efforts are essential to protecting the wildlife that depends on these waters. 💙

🌊🤖 A robot that can FLY AND SWIM?!

Researchers at MIT and EPFL have developed a tiny robot inspired by diving birds like puffins, loons, and gulls. The aerial aquatic robot can swim underwater, break through the surface, and take flight using its flapping wings. 🐦🌊

And this could be more than just incredible technology. Researchers envision robots like this one eventually helping oceanographers and marine biologists collect data, take measurements, and monitor hard to reach areas of the ocean. 💙

It’s another incredible example of how we can look to nature for inspiration while developing new tools to better understand and protect our oceans. 🌎
