These olive ridley #turtles are coming ashore together to lay their eggs! 🏖️ In what's called an "arribada," huge numbers of female olive ridley sea turtles come together to nest on the beach. They then return to their mostly solitary lives in the ocean! 🌊 #SeaTurtleWeek

🪸 This #WorldReefAwarenessDay, explore Mexico's newly declared Bajos del Norte National Park! This protected area was declared earlier this year, following multiple Oceana expeditions with expedition partner @Blancpain1735 to highlight their importance to the ecosystem. 💙 ⛵

Happy #WorldOtterDay! 🦦 Sea #otters are a keystone species, meaning that they play a very important role keeping their whole ecosystem healthy and balanced. 🌿🐟 But today, these animals are threatened by oil spills, as well as climate change and habitat loss. 🌊🌡️ Support sea otters with a symbolic adoption today: oceana.ly/3V3PKZ4
