We are proud to report that our March 14th, 2026 Beach Cleanup along Santa Monica State Beach was a success! We managed to remove 28 pounds of biohazardous debris. Interestingly, we found a bag handle, a bag strap, yet no bag in sight. Remember not to litter, & our next beach cleanup will be hosted on April 18th, 2026!

Recently, we published a fascinating new article on the Green Moray Eel! The Green Moray Eel is a large species of Moray Eel found in the western Atlantic Ocean. It is the largest species of Moray Eel so far. It is considered to be a true eel, meaning that it is classified under the order Angulliformes. Though they are commonly found in shallow water reefs, they inhabit waters as deep as 130 feet. They are generally found alone, & do not live in packs, or groups. This article dives into all the fascinating facets of the Green Moray Eel including its reproduction, discovery, intelligence, locomotion, diet, predators, & parasites. To learn more, or to read the full article please visit the link below, or visit the website in our profile. https://www.thepersaudcatalog.org/post/the-green-moray-eel-of-isla-de-la-juventud-cuba-gymnothorax-funebris

Whale Migration Challenge Speaker Series with Alisa Schulman-Janiger - Gray Whales in Southern California Wednesday, March 11, 2026 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM Whale Migration Challenge Speaker Series Gray Whales in Southern California Wednesday, March 11, 2026 6:00-7:30 PM on Zoom Guest Presenter: Alisa Schulman-Janiger We are live on Zoom, but there is an in-person viewing party at the Noyo Center Marine Field Station 32430 N. Harbor Dr. in Fort Bragg Happy Hour 5:00-6:00 PM; presentation at 6:00-7:30 PM
Part Two of the Whale Migration Challenge speaker series. Alisa Schulman-Janiger is a renowned marine biologist, whale researcher, and educator who has spent decades studying cetaceans along the California coast. She is best known as the director and coordinator of the American Cetacean Society Los Angeles Chapter Gray Whale Census and Behavior Project, a long-running shore-based study of gray whale movements and behavior in Southern California that she founded in the 1980s. In addition to her gray whale work, Alisa has trained naturalists, taught marine science for many years, served on NOAA's response teams, and contributed to Dumerous scientific papers on whales and other marine mammals. In this second talk of the Whale Migration Challenge speaker series, Alisa will focus on gray whales in Southern California and her decades-long research observing their migrations, behavior, and trends along the coast. She'll share insights from her extensive fieldwork, highlight how Southern California serves as a key place to monitor migrating whales, and reflect on changes she's witnessed in whale numbers and behavior over her long career. There is no fee for our science talk pr your minimum $10 DONATION will programs and speakers.
Celebrating the Gray Whale migration & Whale Festival, Noyo Center for Marine Science presents a science talk about Gray Whales in Southern California.
Tonight! You can watch free on Zoom or come by & have a beer on the deck overlooking Sea Lions & Seals swimming in the Noyo River. #marinescience
