#PoetryInOcean: “I speak of underneathedness... I speak for the damselfly, water skeet, mollusk, the caterpillar, the beetle, the spider, the ant. I speak from a time before spinelessness was frowned upon.” Camille T. Dungy’s poetry seemed a lovely way to celebrate tiny marvels in the midwater.

All ink, no stink! Squid ink is a natural, dark-viscous fluid primarily composed of melanin pigment, mucus & water — like a deep-sea smoke screen for a hasty getaway. These ink-blob shapes are called pseudomorphs. Filmed during #OBVI #LivingBioreactors expedition w/@schmidtsciences.bsky.social.

In celebration of World Octopus Day, we wanted to revisit one of our favorite cephalopod sightings, the glass octopus — Vitreledonella richardi filmed during a month-long #PhoenixIslandsCoral expedition in 2021.

We brake for nautilus! “We usually stopped what we were doing whenever we saw nautilus, b/c they are such amazing animals to watch,” said #VisioningCoralSea Chief Scientist Dr. Robin Beaman of James Cook University. This enigmatic cephalopod navigated the depths before dinosaurs roamed the Earth!

For the #uruguaysub200 scientists hoping to document abundant wildlife in their deep waters, this small coral offers a message on a bottle, telling a larger story about life on the seafloor, 2,341 meters beneath the surface. 🎥 ROV SuBastian / Schmidt Ocean Institute

Sliding into the weekend like this slender fish! Seen during the #AsgardArchaea expedition, ROV pilots captured this footage at 2,180 m. The international team of scientists collected sediment & water samples in their search for the origins of eukaryotic and complex cells.

Skeleton shrimp: superior snackers This amphipod in the family Caprellidae, has feather-like setae line several of their 18 appendages for collecting food — amphipod translates to “feet on all sides” in Greek. #argentiniandeepseeps ~1200 meters

Scientists estimate that 10 billion tons of fish & half of the ocean’s zooplankton biomass live in the midwater zone (between 100 & 1000 m). Capturing & transporting carbon to the deep, sustaining fisheries, & supporting endangered wildlife are just some of the ecosystem services happening here.

Riding High! During the #ArgentinianDeepSeeps expedition, ROV pilots captured footage of a tiny animal, likely a crustacean, riding a jellyfish like a surfboard. Jellyfish = protection w/their stinging tentacles & access to food while traveling & “shooting the curl” (as surfers would say).

2 The Tories in #Suffolk went online to explain and inform. Whilst I'm glad they defended translation services, I came away feeling uneasy about the way Tory councillors seek to cooperate and compromise with the far-right. I know, councils have to function. But #Reform isn't like any other party.
