AAG COMA

Hi Twitterverse! This is the new and official account of the AAG Coastal and Marine Specialty Group (COMA). We will be posting and sharing all things coastal and marine! :D Current curator is @GeoHilgy!

Thanks for following the USGS in 2021! We're looking forward to sharing more science with you in 2022. #HappyNewYear 🥳

Happy New Year, everyone! We can't wait to see where our research takes us in 2022.

Want to (virtually) dive into ocean exploration? Now's your chance! The NOAA Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute is hosting a seminar series that takes you deep into the world of ocean exploration. The first one's on August 11 - sign up here: web.uri.edu/oeci/events/ns…

Eddies are circular currents that break off from their “parent” current. The circular motion can bring cold, nutrient-rich water up from the ocean’s depths. #OceanFactFriday oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/eddy.html

Great Lakes #Aquaculture Days will be here in just a few short weeks! From those curious about the field to fish-farm operators, there's something for everyone at this free, virtual event. Learn more & register: bit.ly/37pBUrO #SustainableSeafood

#Summer is almost here, and the 🏖️ is calling. @SeaGrantNC and state partners are working to make sure beachgoers are staying safe! Visit bit.ly/RipCurrentsNC to learn more about recognizing and dealing with #ripcurrents and other key safety messages. #SGSafetyFirst

It's #WorldOceanDay! 🌊 💙 Did you know the water in the #GreatLakes eventually flows into the northern Atlantic Ocean? This profile view of the lakes shows water's journey all the way from #LakeSuperior to the end of the St. Lawrence River! More info: cgll.org/for-educators/…

Our ocean provides countless benefits for humans and the planet. Find out what they are: oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/why-care… #30DaysofOcean #OceanMonthNOAA #OceanMonth2021 #WorldOceanDay

Happy #WorldOceansDay! The ocean is connected to nearly all aspects of human life. We must protect it. planet.com/gallery/#!/pos…

Happy #WorldOceanDay! 🌊 The ocean is life, sustenance, power and mystery. Today and every day, Sea Grant programs help care for the #ocean through #research, #outreach and #education. See Sea Grant in action below. #OceanMonth2021 #30DaysofOcean

It's #WorldOceanDay! Celebrate by watching this incredible underwater footage, straight from our world ocean: oceantoday.noaa.gov/worldoceanday/ #30DaysofOcean #OceanMonthNOAA #OceanMonth2021

#ICYMI - NOAA is forecasting this summer’s Gulf of Mexico #hypoxic area or “dead zone” – an area of low to no oxygen that can kill fish and other marine life – to be smaller than the long-term average. Learn more: go.usa.gov/x6BE5

Beautiful places we'd rather be... Planet Dove satellite capture of the islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park and nearby Kota Kinabalu, on the Malaysian portion of Borneo. More in our gallery: planet.com/gallery/#!/pos…

We're extending the deadline to June 17th! Don't miss out on this amazing #JobOpportunity! Please help us spread the word by sharing it with your network. #Oregon #marinescience #outreach #WomenInSTEM #diversitymatters #blackinmarinescience #latininmarinescience

As our planet warms, the ocean’s surface is rising. Learn more with these graphs of global mean sea level. climate.gov/maps-data/data…

@theAAG Thank you for the shout out! :D We can't wait to share our love and stories of the world's coasts, the people who call it home, and all the amazing geography, therein, with our followers!

Look who recently joined Twitter, the AAG Coastal and Marine Specialty Group! Give them a follow at @AagComa. Who else is on your #FollowFriday list? #FF

#DidYouKnow that most of the oxygen in the atmosphere originally came from photosynthetic organisms in the ocean? As we count down to #WorldOceanDay, learn more about how the ocean makes Earth habitable. noaa.gov/education/stor… #OceanMonthNOAA #NOAAResourceOfTheDay

Ever wondered what a healthy coral reef looks like? Use this handy infographic to learn about the indicators of what makes a healthy reef, a healthy reef. @ICRI_Coral_Reef @VulcanInc

#TransformationTuesday: Happy first day of June! With #GreatLakes water temps warming up, here's a comparison of June 1 temps each year from 2016-21. Today's temps are warmer than most other years, especially #LakeErie, western #LakeSuperior & Saginaw Bay: glerl.noaa.gov/res/glcfs/lake…
