How Many Whales Does It Take To Save A Species? The Story Of The Rice’s Whale

How many whales does it take to save a species? For the Rice’s whale, the answer may be all of them. Found only in the Gulf of Mexico, this newly recognized species is already on the edge of extinction, with just 51 estimated to remain. By studying individual whales, scientists have uncovered critical insights about how Rice’s whales feed, rest, travel, and survive in one of the most industrialized marine environments in the world. Their stories are a reminder that science, not politics, must guide decisions about endangered wildlife, and that every protection matters when extinction is this close.

Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC) is a massive #ocean_current in the #AtlanticOcean, driven by #temperature and #salinity changes (#thermohaline circulation). It influences global #weather significantly:

- Warms up #Arctic, East #Canada, #BritishIsles & #Nordic region
- Cools down #GulfofMexico, #Amazon & #Africa
- Drives #rains in all these regions
- Supports a huge #plankton #biomass, that:
- Supports higher #marine_life
- Acts as #CO2 #carbon_sink.

Honestly, I'm confused why the #TrumpAdministration used #OpenStreetMap rather than #GoogleStreetMap for their https://aliens.gov/ site— #Google famously renamed the #GulfOfMexico to the "Gulf of America" while the #OSM community discussed it but refrained from it for now And they aren't his billionaire friends.

I like this photo I took in 2017 when visiting #Florida for a wedding; the expanse of roof, parking, cars, and heat exchangers in the foreground illustrate all of the infrastructure required to deliver people to the picturesque strip of sandy beach and water.

“The Gulf of Mexico marked the end of the road for the redesigned first-stage booster, and the Indian Ocean for the spacecraft and its satellite demos.”

Even though the article still uses those unscientific and incomprehensible American “freedom units”, I'm glad to see that #NPR does not succumb to dumb, revisionist, white-supremecist “alternate geography” here.

It's simply the gulf of Mexico.
