Hauling out is an important for seals because it is when they can rest, give birth, and molt. This time out of the water allows them to use the sun to keep warm instead of relying on their fat and metabolism. This becomes really important in colder waters like Alaska. If harbor seals can’t haul out, they must supplement their heat loss by eating more. If you see a harbor seal on the beach like this, let them rest for a bit. They’re easily startled, and we don’t want them to have to look for extra food because they didn’t feel like the beach was a safe place to rest at that time.
So, Dave the Diver is a fun game where you are a guy named Dave who catches fish for a sushi restaurant and explores the ocean and nothing weird happens.
That being said.
There are so many other things I could have mentioned to be options for this poll. Not an ad, I just ADORE this insane little game.
My top game of 2023 so far for sure.

Okay I just saw the cuttlefish thing and for some reason my brain went to the octo trio watching finding nemooooooo
Like what would they think of it?? And the one part where the octopus went 'nooo you guys made me ink!' I feel like jade and floyd did that to azul when they were kids😭🤣
the tweels would look over at azul, who suddenly is having traumatizing flashbacks
OMG YES PELASE YOU JUST AMD EMY DAY ASKING ABOUT FINDING NEMO HOLD ON IM GONNA GO ON ANOTHER MARINEBIO RAMBLE PLEASEEEE BEAR WITH ME PLEASE 👁️
BUT I'LL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION FIRST WHAWHAWH
i can see floyd getting SUCH a kick out of the shark chase scene and jade finding the anglerfish scene funny. azul is sitting next to them like "yk that's nothing unusual" because they're WEIRD
ofc he would probably have some flashbacks during that scene in the gif. jade and floyd IMMEDIATELY turn to look at him. its creepy. their heads turn a full 90 degrees. LIKE WHAT ARE YOU LOOK AT...LEAVE HIM ALONE OMG.
speaking of that i need to write a fic with azul accidentally inking in front of his crush :C i think that'd be cute
MARINE BIO RAMBLE TIME OKAY SO
yk that fish that killed all of nemo's siblings? that's a barracuda! they actually don't eat clownfish eggs, but they do eat moray eels so i don't like them >:C
also, that scene when coral goes to confront the barracuda and marlin tells her to stop? female clownfish are more aggressive than male clownfish!!
yk that scene when bruce cries about never meeting his father? that's also true, because sharks,,,, mate,,,,,, a lot. 👁️ so he probably would never have met his dad or figured out who his father was. also, his eyes turning black when he was about to try and eat marlin and dory was kinda right? because sharks roll their eyes back into their heads to protect them when they're about to snatch up a tasty little morsel yum yum.
ALSO TEH WHALE???? WHEN THEY WERE SHOT OUT OF ITS BLOWHOLE???? whale's can't do that its literally impossible. they would have gotten swallowed right into the stomach and out the other end yikes
ALSO ANGLERFISH LIVE SO DEEP......LIKE SO DEEP IN THE OCEAN.....disney there are pressure differences the deeper you go in the ocean,,,, marlin and dory would have been CRUSHED.
ANYWAYS YEAH i watched that movie a few months ago and really analyzed the silly little fish behaviors and what was correct or incorrect so im happy i got to talk about it AAWHHAAHW
All fish and seafood species, expected to collapse by 2048. And we, as humans, have failed to stop fishing, or even to just fish /less/ than we have been. Fish, sushi restaurants, aren’t just available by the sea, they’re found hours and hours from any coastline. Fish are in every pet store, grocery store.
We’re already seeing it.
A BILLION crabs. Missing. A number beyond what we can truly comprehend.
And what happens if our oceans die?
We die. In 2023, that’s only 25 years away, with no clear steps taken as a world, not just individual nations, but as a WORLD to stop this. We haven’t even been able to stop whaling, or the shark fin industry. We have FAILED as shepherds of the earth. We need reform now.

The ocean covers around 71% of our planet’s surface. This vast body of seawater is teeming with life, containing plants, animals, and other species. The oceans cover several basins on the Earth’s surface and maintain the world’s warmth by supplying half of the planet’s oxygen; with ocean currents transporting heat throughout.
It is our responsibility to safeguard the oceans and marine resources for sustainable development. Let's honor this day to commemorate the role of our oceans. Let's fire up the world to protect our oceans today!
