Have a few minutes to spare? You can help support biodiversity recovery in Washington state 👇 🌎 Biodiversity is vital for Washington’s public health, culture, and economy, yet our native species and ecosystems are increasingly at risk.

As the Washington state legislative session begins, the Seattle Aquarium is working with partners to advance science-based policies and funding that will protect ocean health. Head to our blog for more details! seattleaquarium.org/blog/2023-prio…

We were happy to host the introduction to the Washington Recycling and Packaging Act this morning—The #WRAPAct will reduce plastic waste and make recycling easier and more accessible for Washingtonians. Thank you to our legislative champions @SenRolfes & @LizBerryWA! #WALeg

The Southern Resident orcas have been in Puget Sound a lot recently! It's great to see them, & it's also a chance to help out. If you spot a whale, please report it via Whale Report & to your local sightings network. Learn more on our blog: seattleaquarium.org/blog/help-prot…

Hey everyone! If you have ever asked "what can I do to help trans rights," I have something for you. Biden's title IX change protecting trans people in schools is open comment. It is getting FLOODED by TERF comments. GO MAKE A COMMENT IN SUPPORT! federalregister.gov/documents/2022…

Sometimes we get sad emails and sometimes we get emails from our friend’s 7 year old that we’ve been indoctrinating into marine biology since infancy so, really, it all works out

I had my last class of grad school (/ever?) today, and didn't even realize until it was over!

#SMEA #gradstudent @stacithefish will be presenting in 2 days, and sharing what she's learned in her thesis work about the management and conservation of Bull Kelp in the Puget Sound. Join us on Friday! ow.ly/wiUm50JboJi
