How’s your #NationalVolunteerWeek going?
Volunteers help to ensure national marine sanctuaries remain America’s underwater treasures for future generations. These volunteers participate in a wide variety of activities including diving, whale identification, beach cleanups, water quality monitoring, collecting field observations and surveys, acting as visitor center docents, and wildlife monitoring.
Although we think #NationalVolunteerWeek should be every week, this week we are especially appreciative of all our incredible sanctuary volunteers! Are you interested in volunteering with us? Visit https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/involved/volunteer_future.html

New species of limu (algae) were recently discovered in the coral reef twilight zone of Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. Martensia lauhiekoeloa (first image) and Martensia abbottiae (second image) received Hawaiian names as their formal scientific species descriptions.

The black spot on the copperband butterflyfish’s (Chelmon rostratus) dorsal fin isn’t just for show, it’s actually a form of defense! How?
It’s a false eyespot, likely to confuse and deter predators from approaching. The fish uses its long snout to reach prey, like crustaceans and coral polyps, that are found in crevices and holes of coral reefs. It inhabits shallow tropical reefs in the Indo-Pacific.

A #zebrashark “poses” next to his ID sign in the Tropical Reef tank at the Minnesota Zoo. Zebra sharks are actually only striped as babies - as juveniles grow into adulthood, the stripes fade out to spots. Even though he’s big, this #shark isn’t a potential predator for any of the other fish in this tank; zebra sharks prefer #mollusks and small #crustaceans for dinner. #reeftank #coralreef #aquarium #zooanimals #zoo #minnesotazoo (at Minnesota Zoo)

Purple fungus, 2019
A bit of #growth on a tin can.
Moody colors on this one.
Added three blue fungus beetles (gibbifer californicus), who eat fungus. How fitting!
