How did I end up here? Sometimes I catch myself wondering. How this girl - who once thought she’d become a teacher, who grew up in a small village far from the sea, who used to line up toy whales and dolphins on her bedroom floor - somehow found herself here. In the open ocean. Face-to-face with the very creatures that once only lived in her imagination. Photographing sharks for a living was never part of the original plan. But looking back… maybe it was always written somewhere in the saltwater pages of my story all along. Little did she know… she was always meant for this. _ intro video shot by @shfxaan photos by @palms2peaks on @sonyalpha 1ii & @nauticamhousings supported by @scubapro #globaldiveteam #scubaproambassador

A day in my life as a marine biologist: shark tagging edition Today we went shark tagging- my favorite days. @uncchapelhill has the longest running shark survey in the country, collecting data on sharks in North Carolina since the early 70s. This survey allows us to monitor shark populations and identify trends in their migrations. We also collect a lot of samples for a variety of research projects before the sharks are safely released. Of course, not all of my days look like this, but we’re currently in our summer field season- meaning more time on the water with sharks! Other days, I’m in my office working on my computer. So I’ll soak up these days when I can 🥰

May is here, time for another calendar challenge 🐟 This month we are challenging you to dig a little deeper into the food you eat using tools like the Seafood Guides from @seafoodwatch. That way you can make more informed decisions about what you eat and where it comes from 💙

We've never related to a turtle more...🐢 @tabby.siegfried, the Sea Turtle Stranding Coordinator for @gulfariumcarecenter, helps a volunteer release a rehabilitated sea turtle back into the ocean! Great work, ladies!

Rock. Paper. Scissors. @waterlust 💙 We always love seeing the dive wear on our @girlsthatscubatrips What’s your go-to dive wear brand? GTS Trippers: @callingquantum @baldyline

We have a saying that comes up frequently: “How are we going to respond given our abilities?” It’s a thought-provoking take on the word responsibility, and it inspires us to act when facing adversity.    Science is under attack. Our elected (and *cough* unelected) officials have demonstrated a depressing disregard for scientific inquiry, evidence-based decision making, and academic freedom. And for those that feel the “don’t get political” knee-jerk reaction when brands like ours voice this kind of opposition, we remind you that we aren’t political. We are a company that exists to support science and scientists.   So how are we going to respond to this moment given our abilities?  Today we’re launching The Tide Never Quits tee, a design that reminds us that while the ebbs and floods of governance yank us in different directions, inclusive science prevails. That’s because science is not an ideology or political flavor of the moment. It’s a process that illuminates facts, and facts guide humanity’s most important decisions. We build bridges with physics. We fight cancer with biology. We power the world with chemistry.  Science is under attack right now, but it will survive because it works. This tee symbolizes that important truth.  While science will be okay in the long run, many scientists today are not. Students who had their funding rescinded because their research mentions “women” too many times. Talented scientists that were fired, then rehired, then fired based not on the merit of their work, but on some vague pursuit of “efficiency.” It has fueled an offensive narrative that the scientific community is lazy, entitled, and based on how they’ve been treated recently, worthless.    And it couldn’t be further from the truth.   That is why we’re donating 100% of the profits from this shirt to @americangeophysicalunion the world’s largest association of Earth and space scientists. They have supported scientists for over 100 years and are leading the charge to defend them today.

Happy Earth Day! A good day to remember to love and nurture our planet, our communities, and ourselves! 💙

Anyone else counting down the days until they can shed their wetsuit? ✋ 🧜‍♀️ @liv_underwater 📸 @@josh_liberman

Fuvahmulah has become my underwater classroom. Diving the same reef daily has changed the way I photograph. Having this kind of consistency has given me something I never really had before: space to play. To experiment with new angles. To fine-tune my settings in changing conditions. To test what works and what doesn´t without the pressure to get the "perfect shot" on day 1. I´ve become more patient. More present. More confident in both my gear and my gut. I´ve learned to read the ocean and its inhabitants better. And that, I think, has changed everything. I get to learn the rhythm of the place - and I think it’s really starting to show. _ Thank you @scubapro for supporting mein every single one of these wild, heart-filling moments. #scubaproambassador #globaldiveteam + slowly starting to blend in thanks to @waterlust _ first shot a rare selfie by yours truly second shot @jonschutte

Happy Friday, everyone! Let's check out what happened in the field this week ⛴🦀 @phoebemccarthy went into the field with @harborbranch to learn and practice some important field sampling techniques with her classmates. The crew did some water quality testing and utilized various techniques to survey fish, invertebrates, and seagrass ecosystems. Check out some of her favorite pics from the field! *All animals were handled with care and under the proper permits

👯‍♀️👯‍♀️ This time last year photographing the @rescueareef crew! 🪸
