Don't Drop out of School
Welcome to my ocean themed blog. The reason for the title when I first designed this blog was to keep myself from dropping out of community college. I am happy to say that I did not drop out! I transferred to CSU Monterey Bay and am now a graduate student studying estuarine science and pinnipeds. Now, I am here to share my love of the ocean and encourage people to follow their passions (especially the ocean themed ones). Feel free to reach out if you are looking into this field of study! Find my on instagram! (Unnecessarycommocean)

as a huge lover of birds, 90% of the concern against wind turbines being used for energy is literally just pro fossil fuel propaganda. birds ARE at a risk however there is a lot of strategies even as simple as painting one of the blades that reduces a lot of accidental deaths. additionally renewable energy sources will do more in favor of the environment that would positively impact birds (and all of us). one study found over one million bird deaths from wind turbines. while that is a shockingly high number and we should work to drastically shrink it, at least 1.3 billion birds die to outdoor cats on a yearly basis. it was never about caring about birds

Don’t get me wrong this is fucking hilarious, but this is also a direct result of San Diego not enforcing beach closures when pinnipeds come to breed. These sea lions are protected under the marine mammal protection act which requires us to stay 50ft away from them and not to disturb them. This has been an ongoing issue for the residents of La Jolla who feel there should not be regulations on when to go to their beach. Cohabitation has been an issue here for a while and sadly nothing is being done. The result…
Angry male sea lions charging at tourists. Something needs to change before someone gets seriously injured that could lead to a serious lawsuit and the death of the animal involved. The animals are here, and there is no moving them. We have to learn how to live with them.

POV: You’re so photogenic, you’ve never had a bad profile pic
We think you’ll agree that the purple striped jelly is stunning. 😎 From its silvery white body with deep-purple bands, to its opulent oral arms and trailing tentacles — it’s both bold and beautiful.

Flashlight Fish Appreciation Post
Anomalopidae (lanterneye fishes or flashlight fishes) are a family of fish distinguished by bioluminescent organs located underneath their eyes, for which they are named.
These light organs contain luminous bacteria and can be "shut off" by the fish using either a dark lid or by being drawn into a pouch. They are used to communicate, attract prey, and evade predators.
These rarely seen fish are nocturnal and found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea.

Is this a cartoon character? Nope. It's an Irrawaddy dolphin, found in the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia.

Migaloo is an albino humpback whale that marine biologists have been following for some time. But now we think there’s a Migatoo!
This is Migaloo, an albino white whale who was first sighted off the east coast of Australia in 1991. Marine scientists and citizen scientists have been tracking his movements, and even succeeded in recording his singing! The last sighting of Migaloo was in 2020, leading many to believe he died.
July 28th, another white whale was spotted swimming along side their mother by photographer, Dylan Golden. He captured this footage with a drone he uses to track whale migrations. Not much is known about this Migatoo, but it is likely a very young calf (potentially days old) and it’s not confirmed that baby is albino.
Being a true albino means the organism lacks melanin, causing the animal to be completely white with reddish eyes. So far, all we know is that Migatoo is a small white whale. There have been other sightings of white humpback whales around the world but Migaloo was one of the few confirmed to be a true albino.
