We are nearing the end of #OceanMonth, but ocean stewardship doesn’t have an expiration date! Here are 10 simple things you can do at home, around town, on the water, or anywhere to help our ocean: oceanservice.noaa.gov/ocean/help-our…

NOAA and partners have successfully developed an experimental forecast that will provide precise information to give greater advance notice of where and when there is a high risk of #HarmfulAlgalBloom toxin exposure during Lake Erie's annual summer bloom. research.noaa.gov/noaa-develops-…

We are providing scientific support to NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) in response to discharging oil and natural gas into marsh and surrounding waters near Garden Island Bay, Louisiana (Well #59). Learn more: response.restoration.noaa.gov/noaa-response-…

NOAA and partners are forecasting a mild to moderate #HarmfulAlgalBloom for western #LakeErie this summer. The 2025 summer bloom is expected to measure 3, with a potential range of 2 to 4 on the severity index. coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/mild-to-m…

As part of our ongoing project that supports the NOAA Coral Program National #CoralReef Monitoring Program, NCCOS scientists and partners recently completed a survey of shallow reef habitats in St. Croix, USVI. More about this project: coastalscience.noaa.gov/project/nation…

Sea nettles are the jellyfish most commonly spotted in the #ChesapeakeBay. We’ve added sea nettle probability for the bay to our forecast portfolio. coastalscience.noaa.gov/forecasting-an…

NCCOS scientists are exploring a new way to detect and neutralize paralytic shellfish toxins. Some frogs produce proteins that protect them from toxins. This could help design better tools to improve monitoring strategies for toxic algal blooms. coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/frog-prot…

By evaluating the performance of #NaturalInfrastructure projects, #NCCOS scientists are building a stronger evidence base to help decision-makers invest in the most effective #CoastalRestoration strategies. Read more: coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/website-s…

NCCOS scientists recently deployed wave gauges in North Carolina to measure wave attenuation at marsh sill living shorelines. They also conducted surveys to measure horizontal and vertical changes in the shoreline located behind the sill. coastalscience.noaa.gov/project/evalua…

A new study from #NCCOS measures the magnitude and distribution of #PFAS chemicals in the Great Lakes for the first time. Learn more: coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/study-mea…

The #HarmfulAlgalBloom in western Lake Erie has an approximate area of 10 square miles. Satellite imagery shows patches of cyanobacteria in North Maumee Bay near Erie, MI in far western Lake Erie. Sandusky Bay has a local bloom of mixed cyanobacteria. coastalscience.noaa.gov/science-areas/…

NCCOS scientists partnered with the USS North Carolina Battleship Memorial to help guide the Living with Water® project. Following construction, researchers are monitoring the progress of the created wetland & impacts on local water quality & flooding. coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/new-lands…

An NCCOS-funded study shows that rising levels of algal toxins in bowhead whales are linked to ocean warming, threatening food security for Alaska Native communities reliant on the whales for subsistence. Learn more: coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/toxic-alg…

Ken Buja, NCCOS senior application developer, is recognized as an expert in the GIS Community and is now featured in the first published Esri Community book. View his interview and feature: coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/nccos-sci…

To help understand unusual #HarmfulAlgalBlooms and the glacial influence in Alaska's Glacier Bay, our Phytoplankton Monitoring Network team transferred skills to park rangers on phytoplankton sample collection techniques across the geographies of the bay. coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/transferr…

Attracting a wealth of marine life, shipwrecks and other artificial reefs provide a banquet of food options for sharks. NCCOS scientists have been assessing the ecological functions of these reefs through habitat mapping, ROV surveys and more: coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/new-resea… #SharkWeek

NCCOS-funded scientists are investigating habitat requirements and connectivity for key reef-associated fishes in the NOAA's Flower Garden Banks Natl Marine Sanctuary and surrounding areas, including scalloped hammerhead sharks. #SharkWeek coastalscience.noaa.gov/project/determ…

HAB season is heating up, and NCCOS scientists are busy preparing toxin sensors for deployment off the Washington and Maine coasts, in collaboration with partners who own and manage the equipment. Get a glimpse of NCCOS’ unique toxin sensor capability: coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/preparing…
