When #marine animals ingest #DomoicAcid, they endure severe neurological symptoms such as seizures, disorientation, &, ultimately, death. These incidents often necessitate euthanasia due to the high mortality rates associated w/this toxin. This alarming rise in domoic acid poisoning cases not only threatens individual #MarineSpecies but also highlights the broader impacts #humans have on marine #ecosystems.

#DomoicAcid is a potent neurotoxin produced by certain phytoplankton species, which are significant contributors to harmful #AlgalBlooms. These toxins accumulate in the tissues of #MarineMammals & other #wildlife consuming contaminated prey. Recent changes in #ocean conditions,…intensified by #environmental factors such as the #EatonFire & #PalisadesFire, have accelerated the proliferation of these harmful algal blooms.

Hi #sciencemastadon, just migrated to social.edu.nl. A re-introduction: I'm a researcher working at Wageningen University and Research (#wur), studying the #ecology of #marinemammals (mostly #seals) in the Netherlands or #arctic, analysing #spatial distribution and #habitat selection based on #wildlife #tracking or #drone/ #uav/ #satellite data using #rstats

Also interested in human #behavioural ecology and alternative economic systems like #degrowth/ #postgrowth

Below movie of our research

I like the fact that Tumblr allows multiple different blogs under one user.

I've now set up a replacement Tumblr page for my Marine Mammal News Facebook Page.

Shame to lose the followers I've gained over the years, but given how flooded the Facebook home feed is with unwanted crap, I doubt many people see my posts these days.

If you have Tumblr, follow me at: marine-mammal-news.tumblr.com/

…The #NorthernBeringSea, off the coast of western #Alaska, is home to migrating #MarineMammals including bowhead & beluga #whales, #walruses & ice #seals, which are hunted by many Alaska Natives. In 2016, President Obama issued an executive order that prohibited #oil & #gas exploration across >112k square miles of marine habitat in the Northern Bering Sea & called for tribal co-management of the protected area.

“These charismatic animals are naturally curious and are not afraid of people; if one approaches, you are best to make yourself as boring as possible …” 😆
