“[Blue crabs] probably shaved 3 weeks at either end,” said @TomAtCBL, who heads @UMCES’s #Chesapeake Biological Lab. “So their winter has gone from 5 months, down conservatively to 4 months, possibly to as little as 3.5 months.” conta.cc/3GZVvA5 @ChesBayJournal #Climate

Nearly a century ago, when pioneering crab biologist Reginald Truitt was working with the Bay’s blue crabs, the crustaceans spent nearly five months burrowed into mud as they hibernated during cold months... Times, & temps, have changed conta.cc/3GZVvA5 @ChesBayJournal

#Dolphins will adjust their calls in the face of underwater noise pollution, with Helen Bailey, research professor at @UMCES, describing it to the BBC as “similar to when we shout louder when we are talking in a noisy bar.” conta.cc/3jj6617 #Environment #Ocean

“Clearly there are some species—#dolphins, tooth #whales, killer whales— that use [sound] for hunting prey, & quieter oceans are important for them” says Colbert of @UMCES CBL. “But there are so many animals that haven’t been studied at all.” 🐬 🔊 👨‍🔬 conta.cc/3hE5OkJ

In 2022, the #Arctics sea ice extent was well below the long-term average. Most regions continued to show increased ocean plankton blooms, or ocean primary productivity. Drs. Lee Cooper & Jackie Grebmeier contributed to this section of #ArcticReportCard conta.cc/3V0pcpA

As sea ice is diminishing, #Arctic maritime ship traffic is increasing ⬇️🌊❄️🟰⬆️🚢 Understanding this change in relation to coastal community welfare, the dynamics of natural systems & socioeconomic development will be critical to informing decisions

“There's too much mortality in the #ChesBay on males & subadult females owing to the interaction of warming, hook & release mortality, & disease. Summer has never been a hospitable time 4 these individuals, but it’s gotten considerably worse” ~ @SecorLab conta.cc/3VSWjwy
