📣 Let’s talk about plastic use reduction and recycling! 📣
Ocean optimism is so important to conservation. Even in the darkest holes of research about marine plastics and recycling, we have to find ways to shed light on the future. Every day actions CAN change the world! – at South Padre Island, TX
Our very own @TurtlesAndTess sits down with us to discuss the impact plastic has on sea turtles. She gives some great tips on how to easily reduce your plastic footprint this Spring break! #marineconservation #plasticpollution #SouthPadreIsland
Had a blast guiding and banding for the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival this year! It’s the #southtexas warblers for me 🦜👀😱 #RGV #birding #tennessee #hooded #warbler
*activities conducted under USGS banding permit*
ABSURD to me that the media used to glorify the use of plastic like this! 😡Now it is ✨ubiquitous ✨in our environment🌎(and our bodies)😬
Let’s #BeatPlasticPollution by getting educated 👩🏫and making active choices to help out ♻️
What's the lifespan of a single-use takeaway food container? Take a look, from start to finish, and understand its impact on the environment.

My HERO 💩😍🐋#womeninscience #STEM
Fun fact: I discovered the uniqueness of the Sri Lankan blue whales because I saw them poop! 🐋 💩 How? You will have to read the article to get all the details!
It's been a 20 yr journey but will I ever stop? No thank you! @sciencenews

🚨 Cold stunning is the MOST significant stranding cause in Texas and warming SST mean #’s on the rise ❄️🐢
Huge thanks to @Donna_J_Shaver and @PadreIslandNPS for the training and to Mark @RotterdamZoo for some insight into ⬆️ cold strandings in the North Sea! 🧐

Fully funded #PhD to study sea turtle foraging ecology using a range of molecular approaches. Opportunity for a biologist from UK or Indian Ocean region with interest in conservation genomics to join our group @swanseauni with @SoniaCdO @TamsynUW swansea.ac.uk/postgraduate/s…
Wait, why did I never think about this as an issue… My kitten is eating sharks 😭🐈⬛🦈 – at South Padre Island, TX

⚠️ Just as we think the season has officially come to an end, we have another nest! This season has been not only our largest with 104 nests, now it's also our longest season! Watch as our Conservation Field Supervisor, Tess, explains more about the process.
What kind of eggs are these!? 👀 For reference: this is an indoor English Ivy plant. What do I do?! 🌱🪴😭

When sea turtles hatch from a nest, it is called a boil. This is because the turtles come out of the sand so quickly, and in such a large number, it looks like the sand is boiling. How many hatchlings can you count in this photo? 👀🕵️♂️#seaturtle #conservation #turtletuesday

⚠️ Nesting & Hatchling update ⚠️️ It was an incredibly exciting day yesterday with nesting and hatching activity. Our season total currently stands at 90 nests, 8659 eggs and 1523 hatchlings released! #nestingseason #seaturtle
I’m always caught doing the most important work… texting @WendyKnightgra1 we’ve got this lady tagged and ready to go back to the ocean! 🐢💕🤳 – at South Padre Island, TX

Check this out 👀 @NOAADebris survey from our unpopulated beach 🤯544 pieces collected from a 5m transect and over 13 kg from the whole survey😖 not ideal but at least it’s off the beach now! #beachclean #plasticwaste
And for the real plastic fans…. I found my first #southpadreisland nurdle! Or as my boss says “the modern day pearl of the ocean” which equally makes me disgusted and full of joy at the same time…
