NEW SPECIES ALERT 🚨

A newly discovered sponge, Megaciella sanctuarium, has been named in honor of Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary!

The new species of sponge was discovered in the sanctuary during a research cruise aboard the sanctuary’s 22-foot small boat, the R/V Tegula. Tom Turner, Ph.D., a professor and sponge expert from U.C. Santa Barbara, dove with Steve Lonhart, Ph.D., a research ecologist for Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

“It is amazing to me that new species are still being discovered within normal diving depths,” said Lonhart. “After diving in central California since 1988, I realize there is still so much to discover, and Dr. Turner is really exposing the incredible biodiversity of sponges found right here in our very own sanctuary.”

The toy island episode was so amazing as both a marine bio student and a native resident of Monterey Bay it had everything for me. The Dogfish has skyrocketed to my fav Maxy ( the first used to be the wolf stew) I hope they either show us how it was made or sell little recreations of it like with the box of DOOM :) - Ultramechatron:) P.S Y'all are killing it with this season battle sets and props are insane and the Intrepid Heroes and Brennan are at the top of their game<3

Come sail away with this Velella velella in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary!

Vellela vellela, or the by-the-wind sailor, is a small, unique species that has a vertical sail atop its float, helping it to travel. This sail is oriented at a diagonal to the animal’s body axis, allowing it to take advantage of prevailing wind currents that push the animal across the sea.

Scientists have found that populations along the California coast tend to have sails oriented to the right, while populations farther west in the Pacific tend to have sails oriented to the left, reflecting differing wind patterns in their respective regions!

Ross tarp Braasch A legend in my eyes Left us too soon Ross helped combat the fires that hit our region along side emergency responders late 2020. He had offered to help put a roll cage in my s14 . I had been saving and when I read that you were gone I was hoping it was a joke when I had arrived to your memorial. I still can’t believe your gone. You will be missed. #831 #salinas #monterey #montereybay (at Salinas, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdiz1KmrOy6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
