If you hear a low humming sound resembling a trombone or a swarm of bees along North America’s rocky west coast, you might be near a group of “singing fish.” More on plainfin midshipmen and their musical mating habits: bit.ly/3QhruRz 📷 @ShaneGrossPhoto ✍️ @Sarah_Gilman

Every summer day in Vancouver Island’s lakes, western toad tadpoles wriggle their way to the algae-filled shallows for a meal. 2024 @bigpicturecomp Aquatic Life Winner @ShaneGrossPhoto used a tilted fish-eye lens to capture this great migration. See more: bit.ly/45sgBTz

How do I "make it" as a full-time conservation photographer? I wrote 1504 words about it and put them in an order that, hopefully, makes some sort of sense. You can find all of these words on the Nature TTL website. Link: naturettl.com/success-as-a-c…

Off the coast of B.C., dozens of species of bottom-dwelling rockfish can live for decades in the Pacific Ocean, sticking close to rocky reefs. But when they’re unexpectedly yanked to the surface, @ainscruickshank writes, the consequences can be dire. thenarwhal.ca/bc-rockfish-co…

Scientists concerned rules to protect bottom-dwelling rockfish aren’t always followed, leaving these long-living homebodies at risk of further declines

Seagrass meadows are vital to ocean health. They trap carbon, scrub away pathogens, and sustain many forms of marine life. But recent spikes in sea temperatures threaten these critical ecosystems. For more on seagrasses: bit.ly/3JuMSzZ 📷 @ShaneGrossPhoto ✍️@josh_sokol
