Reefstars at Motukiekie Beach on the West Coast of New Zealand as the sun sets.
Low tide gives a rare look at just how many live here — an important reminder of how much life exists right at our feet. I feel incredibly blessed to call this place home 🧡

Six rare #sawfish deaths in 7 days have scientists baffled amid bizarre #Florida fish behavior

"Most tests for toxins have been negative, but scientists have seen an unusually high number of #algae called gambierdiscus that can produce a wide variety of #neurotoxins that can be harmful to fish and dangerous to humans.
#Gambierdiscus is normally found in tropical and subtropical waters all around the world, but the algae can grow quickly when waters are warmer than usual. The climate crisis has brought record hot temperatures to the waters around southern Florida."
