As you may have heard, this summer Southern California had a salp bloom… but what exactly is a salp? 🤔 Salps are gelatinous planktonic animals that belong to the Tunicate Phylum. We saw so many on our summer cruise!

When Annie Adams and Mallika Gupta began their internship with @calcofi, many of their peers didn't know about a major looming threat in the Pacific: decreasing oxygen levels, which cause hypoxia. So they decided to tell the story through data: bit.ly/42NVMjf

We incorporated new CalCOFI stations within these Sanctiaries Last fall, we had a special cruise to test out these new stations & this cruise was the 1st time we've fully integrated these stations into our routine cruise pattern.
