wow! These types of event will become more common.
Nothing to see here: Just more than 25 inches of rain in 24 hours in Fort Lauderdale. That's a record. And these kinds of intense storms, with more moisture in the air, are likely to come more frequently. cnn.com/2023/04/14/us/five-t…

very glad to see progress being made to reduce these toxins in our environment! way to go @MarkRuffalo
This is a huge victory in the fight to restrict these toxic "forever chemicals." The Biden administration and the @epa are finally delivering on our demands for safer drinking water and prioritizing public health. A great first step!

The V-shaped blow of a critically endangered North Atlantic right whale, this one at the west end of the Cape Cod Canal. Mariners keep a sharp eye out!

North Atlantic right whales aren't as well known as some of their cetacean cousins, so we're helping you learn about them! From their name, to what they eat, to their features...find out more about the NARW now: #WorldWildlifeDay

This is amazing!
This was one of the most incredible wildlife encounters I’ve ever had — seen while tidepooling on the Northern California coast. (Also please enjoy the look of sheer terror on my friend 😅)

Like all whales, North Atlantic right whales have different common behaviours you can spot—if you know what you're looking for! Here's a guide to some of the more interesting NARW postures you might notice and what they're called. #WorldWhaleDay
