Plainfin midshipmen migrate from the deep sea to the intertidal zone to spawn, and that’s when things really get loud. See our new Spotlight from photographer @ShaneGrossPhoto for more: bit.ly/3QhruRz ✍️ @Sarah_Gilman

How do I "make it" as a full-time conservation photographer?
I wrote 1504 words about it and put them in an order that, hopefully, makes some sort of sense.
You can find all of these words on the Nature TTL website. Link: naturettl.com/success-as-a-c…

Off the coast of B.C., dozens of species of bottom-dwelling rockfish can live for decades in the Pacific Ocean, sticking close to rocky reefs. But when they’re unexpectedly yanked to the surface, @ainscruickshank writes, the consequences can be dire.

Seagrass meadows are vital to ocean health. They trap carbon, scrub away pathogens, and sustain many forms of marine life. But recent spikes in sea temperatures threaten these critical ecosystems. For more on seagrasses: bit.ly/3JuMSzZ 📷 @ShaneGrossPhoto ✍️@josh_sokol

A sediment core from Greenland shows that even if the planet does not get any warmer than it is now, ice loss from Greenland alone would add at least 1.5 metres to the global average sea level and possibly as much as 5 metres.
