@JacquelynGill Lol. This is funnier than just sitting at my computer which I do the most.

Keep your eyes peeled! Someone spotted a North Atlantic right whale skim feeding at the surface just off Long Pond, Conception Bay on 1 Nov. Lots of copepods in the area. New England Aquarium IDed her as #1408 , "Freckles", born in 2013 and never before recorded in Canada.

Observers on the Twin Otter sighted a group of 30 (!!) killer whales SE of Newfoundland yesterday (small red "fish" symbol)(+ 3 killer whales earlier). This is one of the largest groups reported in Newfoundland & Labrador waters. Mariners let me know if you sight these whales?

science:

3/5 The more details the better! The most important include WHERE you caught the tagged fish, HOW you caught it and the LENGTH of the fish. This information helps us to track growth, movement and survival to better understand the stock.

1/5 If you catch a tagged fish this year, please mail us your tags and details about the fish. We’ll send you back a reward! For cod, you’ll receive $10-$25 for yellow tags, $100 for pink tags and $25 for an electronic tag. For flatfish there’s a $20 reward for any tag returned.

Having fun spotting creepy crawlies for my first time participating in #NCCBioBlitz !

An extraordinary marine heatwave has developed off the east coast of Canada, with hundreds of thousands of square miles of ocean experiencing sea surface temperatures more than 5°C (9°F) above normal and max anomalies approaching 10°C (18°F) above normal. Thermal stress from this marine heatwave could have major impacts on marine life in the Northwest Atlantic.

Best ROV pic ever. (if you disagree I dare you to show me a better one.) (if you agree, you can still show me more ROV pics, I won't be mad about it.)

Have you seen a squid this year? Be a citizen scientist! Download the Squid Recreational Survey on the Survey123 app. We’ll use the information like time, weather conditions, location, and gear to learn more about squid.

@hjpolaczek Wow wow wow 😍
