There are no specific reports of the impact of Hurricane Melissa on endangered manatees in Jamaica; however, based on data from other hurricanes, manatees typically seek shelter in wetlands and mangroves, which provide some protection from storms. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #ManateeMonday #Jamaica

We were finally able to get down to Jamaica, where we had our initial post-Hurricane Melissa cleanup event today in the Black River. More photos to come from the western parish towns of Montego Bay and Belmont. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Panama’s ocean cycle has collapsed for the first time in 40 years. Winter trade winds cause upwelling in the Gulf of Panama, bringing nutrient-rich water to support marine life, but this year that process did not occur. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #Oceanography

November's “Beaver Moon” was named by certain Native American tribes for the time of year when beavers build their winter dams. It is a supermoon, at the closest point to Earth in its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter than usual. #FullMoon #BeaverMoon

Many marine animals use oyster reefs to hide from predators and/or feed on tiny organisms there. These environments provide food for turtles, shorebirds, and valuable fish species. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday #OysterReefs

Oysters, as filter feeders, retain microplastics (MPs), making them bioindicators of environmental contamination and a potential risk to human health. Research confirmed contamination is widespread, with all oysters analyzed containing MPs. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #MicroplasticsMonday #Oysters

November is #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, a time to honor the culture, history, and contributions of Indigenous peoples. The Wet Tribe brand has a tribal theme, and our #icon is represented by a First Nations-inspired #moon symbol.

Two of the most vital species of coral in Florida, elkhorn or staghorn, are “functionally extinct,” with scientists finding none remaining. We cannot ignore this alarming finding. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #Coral #Extinction

Wetlands store massive amounts of carbon, but they also contribute to emissions when lost. Two decades of improved wetland carbon sequestration in northern latitudes are offset by southern and tropical losses. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WetlandWednesday #CarbonSequestration #ClimateCrisis

We are thinking of the people of #Jamaica, and neighboring islands, especially our research, restoration, and cleanup colleagues there, as #HurricaneMelissa — fueled by a warming ocean — grows into the strongest storm ever to impact the island. Stay safe! 🙏♥️

Weaker protections for mammals result in reduced mitigation requirements for industrial activities, which can correlate with greater habitat degradation or disturbances in zones shared by sea turtles, including coasts, seagrass beds, and coral reefs. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday #MMPA

For more than 50 years, the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) has served as a cornerstone of marine conservation. But newly proposed legislation threatens to gut these critical safeguards. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #ManateeMonday #MMPA

When corals 🪸 are exposed to temperatures 2-3 degrees hotter than 88°F 🌡️with increased levels of sunlight ☀️ it is lethal. The corals must expel the symbiotic algae or die. Row upon rows of stark white skeletons ☠️ are the result. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoralBleaching

Calcifying plankton regulates the ocean’s thermostat by capturing and cycling carbon. Coccolithophores, the main producers of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), are especially sensitive to ocean acidification, while foraminifers and pteropods face pressures from warming waters and oxygen loss.
