When #marine animals ingest #DomoicAcid, they endure severe neurological symptoms such as seizures, disorientation, &, ultimately, death. These incidents often necessitate euthanasia due to the high mortality rates associated w/this toxin. This alarming rise in domoic acid poisoning cases not only threatens individual #MarineSpecies but also highlights the broader impacts #humans have on marine #ecosystems.

#DomoicAcid is a potent neurotoxin produced by certain phytoplankton species, which are significant contributors to harmful #AlgalBlooms. These toxins accumulate in the tissues of #MarineMammals & other #wildlife consuming contaminated prey. Recent changes in #ocean conditions,…intensified by #environmental factors such as the #EatonFire & #PalisadesFire, have accelerated the proliferation of these harmful algal blooms.

Ship collisions and noise are pushing whales to the brink–but there’s a simple solution. Slowing down ships could save thousands of whales and other marine life.

So it looks like bottlenose dolphins started migrating to Northern California in the last decade. Have not seen any yet, but this guy posts his sightings throughout the day! We’ll kinda stalk him as he stalks them.

I’m “loved dolphins since Flipper” years old, and I still love them.

Pacifica Whales ForumsSunday 3/2/2025 It's a cold windy morning today but I am taking a look for dolphins and gray whalesSunday 3/2/2025 8:43 a.m. I am out taking a look for dolphins and gray whales this morning. I have not found any so far. I have looked at lindamar Beach, Rockaway Beach, and Pacifica Pier area. No sightings so far. Good news is that the rain that was happening early morning has stopped so it's...

Hi #sciencemastadon, just migrated to social.edu.nl. A re-introduction: I'm a researcher working at Wageningen University and Research (#wur), studying the #ecology of #marinemammals (mostly #seals) in the Netherlands or #arctic, analysing #spatial distribution and #habitat selection based on #wildlife #tracking or #drone/ #uav/ #satellite data using #rstats

Also interested in human #behavioural ecology and alternative economic systems like #degrowth/ #postgrowth

Below movie of our research
