Do you know your shrimp from your starfish and your molluscs from your mussels? 🦐 We’ve been diving into the joys of rockpooling with SEA LIFE Aquariums today as Aquarist, Elise Simone de Tourtoulon-Adams, encourages the nation to give it a go while we can, as it’s revealed that 68% of us are worried about the future of marine life. With regional hits up and down the coast and national airwaves reached too, we think we’ve added a new activity to a lot of weekend plans! #BroadcastPR #Conservation #MarineLife

You never know what you’ll find when diving on our restored shellfish reefs in Port Phillip Bay. Recently, our divers were out doing some monitoring at Dromana and came across these wonderful critters calling the reefs home (seahorse, cuttlefish and nudibranch (sea slug)). These restored shellfish reefs are home to not only oysters, but an abundance of fish life and invertebrates. Three reasons among the thousands of reasons why restoring our lost shellfish reefs have been and continue to be a priority. #shellfishreefrestoration #conversation #Reefbuilder

"Dare to make the world a better, more humane place." Wildlife rescuer and passionate advocate for a more compassionate, sustainable and ecologically-responsible world that cherishes the diversity of all life.
Yet another tragic loss of life due directly to the Government of New South Wales' refusal to take the issue of marine #entanglements seriously. #NetsOutNow Please consider signing and sharing this petition. This outdated, ultimately ineffective, and indiscriminately destructive reliance on #sharknets must cease. More effective, modern, and humane alternatives exist. The massive toll upon non-target species is categorically indefensible. Maintaining the outdated policy despite widespread community concerns, ecological considerations and animal welfare principles is inexcusable, and demonstrates a fundamental acceptance of fear- and ignorance-based policymaking. #marinemammals #marineturtles #EntangledWildlifeAustralia Chris Minns Tara Moriarty Hannah Tait Emilia Michael Jas Chambers Sharon Livermore Save Our Marine Life Karl Goodsell Nick Chiarelli Robina Tower Jessica McKelson Bree Talbot Stephen Van Mil Genevieve Robinson Jacquie Pohl Jacqueline Pinard, B.B.A. ORRCA Inc.

Last February we discovered that a landslide made Garie Beach inaccessible to the public, and we called for the shark net to be immediately removed. Despite this, the shark net remains in place, posing a huge risk to local marine life. This weekend the shark net at Garie Beach claimed another victim - an endangered leatherback turtle. Leatherback turtles are the deepest diving reptiles with a taste for jellyfish that deserve protection for a healthy planet. This is just another reason why we're calling on the NSW Government to announce when shark nets will be permanently removed. If you agree, sign our petition: https://hubs.la/Q02rsp190

Descending into barracuda heaven. Nothing compares to the rush of diving under a swirling school of these apex predators, moving in perfect harmony with the ocean.

National Hummingbird Day is the first Saturday in September. These fragile, precious little birds are small yet mighty when it comes to be being one of nature's most important pollinators. Hummingbirds can beat 70 times per second and 200 times when diving! They are the only birds that can fly backwards. When you have a bird feeder for hummingbirds be sure to clean and refill it one a week and more often during hot humid seasons to avoid bacterial growth in the feeder. The safer option is to make sugar water for hummingbirds instead of a mixture of sugar and water. The amount of sugar to water is important to get the ratio that mimics the amount of sugar found in the flower nectar. Small batch: 1/4 cup white granulated sugar (60 ml) - 1 cup water (236 ml) Medium batch: 1/2 cup white granulated sugar (118 ml) - 2 cups water (472 ml) Directions: Add the sugar to the water in a small pot. Boil the sugar until it dissolves. Allow the water to completely cool before adding it to the feeder. #GoPublicGardens #PublicGardens #PublicGardens #NationalHummingbirdDay #hummingbird #hummingbirds

Our Mission Is To Guide Vacationers/Divers in Protecting Marine Life Blending Adventure With Conservation in Every Dive. Unique Sea Creature Experiences - Memories of a Life Time, Guaranteed!
𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬: 𝐀𝐧 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬! Shark Week may sensationalize the ocean's apex predators to boost viewership, with dramatic scenes and fear-inducing narratives. But here's there real story.... During my shark dive in the South Pacific a couple of years ago, we chummed the water with blood and sent a frozen bail ball down the line. Hundreds of sharks appeared, yet not one of them showed any aggression towards us. They were not looking to eat me or anyone else. I despise Shark Week's misrepresentation and falsehoods about sharks aggressive nature. This misinformation leads to unnecessary fear and encourages trophy hunting, resulting in these magnificent creatures being needlessly killed. Imagine seeing sharks swimming majestically underwater instead lying dead on a dock. This experience can change your perspective forever. Dive in and discover the truth about these awe-inspiring creatures that are essential to our ocean's health. Ready to change your narrative? Only one scuba dive with me is all I need to awaken, refresh and restore your soul with underwater nature. Scuba diving has no equal. Only make a comment if you aren't a hating hunter. Otherwise not interested in your fake chest thumping stories about sharks. #spareme #truthbetold #marinelifematters #sharks #conservationmatters

The pufferfish is nothing but inventive when it comes to creative ways to avoid becoming somebody else’s dinner. Filling their stomachs with huge amounts of water (and sometimes air), the pufferfish can blow themselves up to several times their regular size, intimidating their predators and making them a difficult snack to swallow. If blowing up to the shape of a ball doesn’t scare away any would-be predators, then some pufferfish have spines on their skin to deter being eaten. Other clever adaptions a pufferfish uses to keep itself safe include poisoning its enemies by secreting lethal toxins or even attacking other threatening animals with its beak-like teeth. Pufferfishes look so cute with their big smile :D I always love them so much!
