🌊🐋 #MarineMammalMonday 🐋🌊 Today we are showcasing the Guadalupe Fur Seal! 🔍 Scientific Name: Arctocephalus townsendi ⏳ Life Span: 13 to 23 years 📉 Population Status: Threatened Guadalupe Fur Seals are a remarkable species known for their sleek, dark brown fur and long, slender body. These seals primarily inhabit the waters around Guadalupe Island, off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. They are adept divers, reaching depths of up to 400 feet to hunt for squid and fish. Once believed to be extinct due to extensive hunting in the 19th century, Guadalupe Fur Seals have made a slow comeback. However, they still face significant threats from #entanglement in fishing gear, #vesselstrikes, and #climatechange. 📸 Photo Credit: NOAA #OceanLife #MarineLife #GuadalupeFurSeal #AISInc

🌊🐋 #MarineMammalMonday 🐋🌊 Today we are showcasing the Gray Whale! 🔍 Scientific Name: Eschrichtius robustus ⏳ Life Span: 55 to 70 years 📉 Population Status: Protected #GrayWhales, growing up to 49 feet and 90,000 pounds, are known for their mottled gray bodies and distinctive dorsal hump with “knuckles” along their back. These majestic creatures undertake one of the longest #migrations of any mammal, traveling up to 14,000 miles round-trip. Gray Whales are regularly found in the North Pacific Ocean where there are two extant populations, one in the eastern and one in the western North Pacific. They are bottom feeders, filtering benthic invertebrates through their baleen, and often leave feeding pits on the ocean floor. Despite their resilience, Gray Whales face threats like #ClimateChange and #GearEntanglement. 📸 Photo Credit: NOAA #OceanLife #MarineLife #GrayWhale #AISInc

🌲 The Great Outdoors & Team Bonding! 🥾 Recently our Northern New England Area Coordinator MacKenzie L. hosted a fun outing with our team! Macki, Danielle, Chris, Brady, Emily, Joseph and Zoe hiked through the Artist Bluff Trail in Franconia Notch State Park, NH. The laughs were endless, the scenery was stunning, and it was a chance for our team to connect on land. It’s amazing what a day in nature can do for team spirit and bonding. 🌳 🍂 Take a look at the stunning view! #NewEngland #NortheastTeam #FreshAir

🌊🐋 #MarineMammalMonday 🐋🌊 Today we are showcasing the Fin Whale! 🔍 Scientific Name: Balaenoptera physalus ⏳ Life Span: Up to 90 years 📉 Population Status: Endangered Fin Whales, the second-largest animals on Earth, are found in deep, offshore waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Southern Oceans. Known for their speed, they are often called the "#greyhounds of the sea." These majestic whales feed on krill, small fish, and squid, using baleen plates to filter their prey. Despite their agility, Fin Whales face threats like #Whaling, #ClimateChange, and #VesselStrikes. 📸 Photo Credit: NOAA #OceanLife #MarineLife #FinWhale #AISInc
