Our #SGintern Ashton Guildener has developed terrific videos to enhance our education team’s biofilms and microplastics teaching resources. We’ve loved their enthusiasm for communicating marine science to other students! Thanks, Ashton! #CommunityEngagedInternship @SeaGrant

ANNOUNCEMENT! It's official! Black in Marine Science (BIMS) is officially a registered 501(c)(3) organization!

I join fellow university presidents in the call for change on gun violence. We are charged with shaping young minds to tackle grand challenges. We lead communities that are deeply affected. And universities are often the source of progress. #120Initiative go.umd.edu/120Initiative

The #plasticpollution and #climatechange crises are often researched apart, but there is a rising co-occurrence of these issues. Read why @RhodeIslandSG-supported researchers believe a coordinated effort is needed to ease stress on marine environments. bit.ly/cc-md-research

Interested in research and outreach #funding for #marinedebris mitigation? Join our informational #webinar today at 4:30 pm ET to learn how you could #partner with Sea Grant programs for recently announced opportunities. Registration and info at seagrant.noaa.gov/funding.

MDSG Extension Specialist Cathy Liu’s work in #Maryland’s #seafood industry helps businesses meet strict regulatory standards. #BlueCrabs are the state’s largest commercial fishery, so Liu’s efforts are highly valued by those she works with. Learn more: arcg.is/1XvyL5

Welcome to Lois Colaprete who joins @UMCES as Vice President for Advancement. Lois values the crucial scientific and educational work being done here and will be a passionate advocate for our mission on local, state & national levels. @Univ_System_MD #highered #environment

One way #boat owners can keep #plastic out of landfills is by switching to reusable covers. Canvas covers that can last up to 10 years are a long-term, cost-effective option! Read “A Cover Story” from #Chesapeake Quarterly for more: arcg.is/1jCWPj

PhD opportunity! @CoastClim invites applications for a 4-year grant-funded #PhD position in Environmental Geochemistry @helsinkiuni. #Carbondynamics of coastal sediments, organic geochemical biomarkers, and sedimentary carbon sinks #BlueCarbon Details: coastclim.org/grant-funded-d…

One way #boat owners can keep #plastic out of landfills is by switching to reusable covers. As shrink wrap continues to get more expensive, canvas covers that can last up to 10 years are a long-term, cost-effective option. More from #ChesapeakeQuarterly: arcg.is/1jCWPj

🐟This old millpond in Bishopville, #Maryland, has a modified dam, allowing #fish to access upstream habitat for spawning. It is one of several coastal #restoration projects in #WorcesterCounty led by @MdCoastalBays - learn more on our blog: mdsg.umd.edu/onthebay-blog/…

It's the last week of #ocean month. Jada's Journey Under the Sea is a great way to introduce #oceanscience to young #readers Use code OCEAN10 for 10% off an autographed copy! (drjeanettedavis.com/books) #ocean #OceanConference #ChildrensBooks #WomenInSTEM #bestseller #diversebooks

Our new #ChesapeakeQuarterly is out! In this issue, we examine a single-use #plastic problem—tons of shrink wrap used to cover #boats—as well as No Discharge Zones in #Maryland waters, and an Extension specialist’s role supporting crabmeat processors. 🦀 chesapeakequarterly.net

Today marks the first day of the United Nation Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2022 #UNOC2022 Cross disciplinary action, collaboration and partnerships are needed to address the challenges that our ocean's face. #Saveoutoceans @UNOceanDecade

Check out #BIMSDives as @jnellenelle and @_ileanaf dive into coastal biology with with Dr. Paulinus Chigbu! Make sure you tune in to the #BIMS YouTube June 24 at 6 pm ET to catch this immersive conversation!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #BIMS #BIMSTV #BlackInMarineScience

Happy Juneteenth! 🖤✊🏾Today & everyday we celebrate Black liberation and our ancestors. We are kicking-off A4BL with our co-founder, @DellaVMosley’s , talk at 4 pm ET. It’s not too late to register for our Black wellness track and anti-racism training. bit.ly/A4BL2022
