I missed reposting this on #WorldReefDay last week (June 1st), so I'll share it today for #WorldOceansDay instead!

"Oceanography & art collide in this visual celebration of humans' relationship with the marine world. From early nautical cartography, scientific illustrations & astounding maps of the ocean floor to ancient Roman mosaics, Japanese woodblock prints & pop-culture ephemera Ocean takes readers across continents and cultures, spanning more than 3,000 years of history."

On #WorldOceansDay, astronomer Rebecca Elson's magnificent poem "Some Thoughts About the Ocean and the Universe" https://t.co/xIAyzLbC07

"Der Ozean nimmt Kohlendioxid auf und hilft uns so, den Klimawandel zu bekämpfen. Setzen wir uns ein für einen gesunden blauen Planeten und eine gerechtere und nachhaltigere Gesellschaft! Ozeanschutz ist Klimaschutz." - GEOMAR-Direktorin Professorin Dr. Katja Matthes sprach beim Symposium zum 120jährigen Bestehen des Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences am Welttag des Ozeans über ozeanbasierte Lösungsansätze für die Klimakrise.

It’s #WorldOceansDay – so it’s a good time to learn more about the seas, and efforts to clean them up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kKFrUr9Ffk

Happy #WorldOceansDay from #CampbellRiver at the 50th parallel. View of Discovery Passage with Cape Mudge on Quadra Island to the left and the Discovery Islands and Coast Mountains in the background. Earth and sea and sky meld. #PNW

Twice a day, the low tide leaves Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach in the Northwest state of Oregon accessible from the shore. For 40 years, during the warm season, local volunteers have shown up on the beach to mark the vulnerable intertidal pools and marine birds' nesting areas and talk to the tourists.

De Atlantische Oceaan warmt sinds maart 2023 ongewoon snel op. Op basis van metingen door schepen en satellieten hebben we een gedetailleerd beeld kunnen vormen van de zeewatertemperatuur aan het oppervlak. #WorldOceansDay #klimaatbericht

#FolkloreThursday for #WorldOceansDay: Sea captains were often born from the mating of the #Scottish Highland #Ceasg. This mermaid—half woman, half salmon—was also known as the maighdean na tuinne or “maiden of the wave.” Like other captured #faeries, she was said to grant wishes to her captor. But like any other seagoing siren, she was also capable of capturing humans, who usually lost their lives upon entering her watery domain.

#Celtic #FolkloreThursday for #WorldOceansDay: Tradition says that #Rathlin was formed when #Fionn`s huge mother tripped and dropped a pile of stones in the bay, on her way to #Scotland to buy whiskey. She lies down under the water, and, in stormy weather, people say, `The old witch is kickin`.

#WorldOceansDay: #Fintan mac Bochra lived at least 5000 years after the Deluge, escaping it by turning into a salmon. When the water masses had receded, he turned into an eagle, then a hawk, afterwards into all the different animals of #Ireland and finally back to human form.

`#Dylan sometimes bears the epithet Ail Ton, “son of wave” or Ail Mor, “son of the sea,” and so he has been interpreted as being #Arianrhod’s child with a sea god or merman. (Arianrhod‘s second child, born on the same occasion, was LLeu Llaw Gyffes.) Certainly the sea was Dylan’s element, for he swam like a fish and took great pleasure in feeling the waves under his body. But he was killed by his uncle, the rapist Gilfaethwy.`

For #WorldOceansDay: “Planet Ocean”
“This drawing was featured in the 1993 book of the same name that I did with my pal Brad Matsen. I dug out the original pen & ink drawing and asked Grace Freeman to colorize it in Photoshop, and I think she knocked it out of the park. There’s many a critter depicted in the lovely orb of our watery planet, including yours truly, diving after a ratfish in the lower right.” - Ray Troll https://www.trollart.com/product/planet-ocean/

“The Earth is not dying,
it is being killed.
And the people
who are killing it
have names
and addresses.”

This #WorldOceansDay #WWFCanada is celebrating the launch of a #milestone #collaborative #report on #coastal
#BlueCarbon #ecosystems in #Canada . #Global #evidence suggests that these ecosystems have tremendous value both #ecologically & as part of the #solution to #ClimateChange but we also know that we are losing them quickly.

Blue carbon is a new field of #study - we know
that some coastal ecosystems can absorb more #carbon per unit area than tropical forests.
