This weekend blue our minds! Bioluminescent waves filled with light-producing plankton ignited the surfline through the night all around the Monterey Bay! Bright blue waves in Monterey Bay from a dinoflagellate bloo 2/13 The light is produced by a type of plankton known as dinoflagellates (the specific species involved in this bloom are being identified) Bioluminescence is relatively rare on land—fireflies or glow-in-the-dark mushrooms are some common examples—but it’s a staple in the ocean!

Some sad news today: The wonderful willet who graced our Aviary for 32 years passed away on Monday. A record-breaking bird, she was a delight of a personality to work with in her three-plus decades with us. A willet at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Our willet arrived in 1987 as an injured adult, and her characteristically drooping wing immediately became a tell-tale identifier to staff and guests as she busily patrolled the exhibit’s sand dunes.

If you're scrolling about and looking for a pick-me-up, we've got a heartwarming shark science story to share ❤️🦈📜 Once upon a time and to this very day, studying wildlife is tough stuff. And studying white sharks is extra tough because of two fundamental problems: White sharks live in the ocean, and wireless signals hate saltwater. It's called the Pesky Pisces Pinging Problem™.
