12/ Deep-sea animals combat this by packing their tissues with specialized molecules called piezolytes (the most common being TMAO, or trimethylamine oxide). These molecules act like microscopic scaffolding. They bind to water molecules and hold proteins in their proper three-dimensional shape, preventing the sheer weight of the ocean from squashing the animal's biochemistry. #science#biology#marine

Most of the world’s marine protected areas fail to safeguard marine life in practice. The reasons for this are complex and vary from place to place. #biodiversity #marine-reserves #oceans #ecosystems

A record-breaking #ElNiño & a #marine #heatwave in the #Pacific Ocean have combined to load the atmosphere with moisture, helping fuel the deadly #flooding. On the backdrop of #ClimateChange, these factors have driven atmospheric moisture levels 5 to 15% higher than average. That has loaded the dice for downpours this summer, such as those that hit the #GrandCanyon Saturday. #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #FlashFlood #monsoon #weather

This is my second favorite octopus story (that they can use coconuts as armor) https://spacedaily.com/k-an-octopus-was-filmed-carrying-two-halves-of-a-coconut-shell-across-the-seafloor-to-reassemble-them-later-as-a-portable-suit-of-armour-one-of-the-only-clear-cases-of-a-wild-invertebrate-using-tools/ My favorite one is that some octopus lead groups of fish in hunting together, and punch the fish that act up https://www.sciencealert.com/octopuses-team-up-with-fish-to-hunt-and-will-punch-them-if-they-act-up #Marine #Science #Octopus
