Three women, one ocean, and a whole lot of purpose 🌊🌎

This Earth Day, we’re celebrating the blue heart of our planet—and the power of science, storytelling, and technology to protect it.

Just another day at the office… if your office is the ocean 💙

Happy earth day explorers! #blf #rtr #earthday

As avid readers of the @nytimes - to be featured in both the Science Times and Video section is an absolute dream come true!! We are beyond honored, and thrilled to see this movement gaining traction. Big thanks to journalist @olsentropy who's insightful writing encompasses all the pieces of the puzzle. Also big big UPS to our expedition team: @amberpeach66 @smash_fishy_fishy @kylemcburniephoto @hiimjoe88 @luuuuke__ @_flyt_ @ottertotter and @ecallhoun who's ready to go again??? by @bluelatitudesfoundation

Our favorite BCD? The @scubapro Hydros Pro 2! You won’t catch us diving without it. We love its minimalist design and quick-drying construction, making it perfect for back-to-back dive days and travel (because no one likes putting on soggy dive gear)!

@ecallhoun rocks her HP2 in her signature pink, while @amberpeach66 keeps it classic in white. 🩷🤍Choose from a rainbow of colors- because your dive gear should match your vibe 🌈🤿

What’s your signature color?

Calling all SoCal explorers! 🐙🌊

Cofounders @ecallhoun and @amberpeach66 are reuniting on stage at the @ocean_institute in Dana Point for their Distinguished Speaker Series!

📅 Wed, Nov 4 | Doors 5:30, talk at 6
🎟️ $10 general · FREE for members & students
🔗 Tickets at the link in bio

Come say hi, we’d love to see you there! 💙

#OceanInstitute #RigsToReefs #MarineScience #DanaPoint #OceanConservation by @bluelatitudesfoundation

On November 4th, join us for Ocean Institute’s Distinguished Speaker Series with Amber Sparks and Emily Hazelwood, marine scientists and co-founders of Blue Latitudes, to discover the incredible ecosystems thriving beneath California’s offshore oil and gas platforms.

These massive structures have become home to diverse marine communities, creating an important conversation about what should happen when the platforms are retired. Learn how scientists, regulators, and industry leaders are exploring ways to transform parts of our energy past into permanent artificial reefs that can continue supporting marine biodiversity.

Hear directly from Amber and Emily about the science beneath the surface and the innovative conservation solutions helping shape the future of our ocean.

🍔 Plus, enjoy FREE In-N-Out with admission!

📅 November 4th
⏰ 6:00–8:00 PM | Doors open at 5:30 PM

Happy #WorldOctopusDay! 🐙 Thousands of feet down in the Gulf of Mexico, an ROV was cruising along a pipeline when this little one floated over to say hi. Meet the Dumbo octopus, named for the ear-like fins it flaps to “fly” through the deep sea.

Fun facts‼️Dumbo octopuses live deeper than any other known octopus (one was filmed at nearly 7,000 m) and can swallow their prey whole!!

Offshore infrastructure surveys like this one give us rare looks at deep-sea life most people never get to see. We hope you enjoy it!!

THE WAIT IS OVER 🐟
Our newest Virtual Ocean Expedition is now live on our YouTube channel #ScienceSeaTV (🔗in our bio)

For centuries, alewives returned to Maine’s rivers…

Then dams changed everything. Giving the Presumpscot River the infamous moniker of “the most dammed river in America”

For two weeks our team, including Emily and two incredible film makers @adamravetch and Jurek, followed this remarkable restoration journey, capturing all the drama in 360

To share the remarkable journey of a little fish and a big conservation success story for the state of Maine.

Join us on the expedition in 360, from the city of Portland to the deep cool forests of the Mill Brook Preserve 🌲 to watch over 64,000 fish make an incredible journey back home, 24 years after the final dam blocking their passage was removed.

This is the story of wildlife and communities finding their way back together, that reminds us when we give nature a second chance… it can thrive 🩵

WATCH the full film via the link in our bio.

HUGE thanks to the team at @presumpscotregionallandtrust for helping our team to make this happen and for guiding every step of our journey. 🌲🐟 by @bluelatitudesfoundation

🐟PREMIERES TOMORROW🐟

For centuries, alewives have made an incredible journey from the Atlantic Ocean into Maine’s rivers, swimming miles upstream to the freshwater lakes where they were born.

But dams transformed the Presumpscot River in the 1600s, nearly ending this ancient migration. Now, after more than 250 years, restoration efforts are helping bring the alewife home.

Join Blue Latitudes Foundation explorer Emily Hazelwood as she follows these remarkable fish through Maine’s Presumpscot River, from Portland to Goldilocks Falls to the fish ladders leading toward Highland Lake.

A story of resilience, restoration, and hope, and a reminder that when we restore rivers, entire ecosystems can flourish.

🎥 Premieres tomorrow on our YouTube challenge ScienceSeaTV!

HUGE thanks to the @presumpscotregionallandtrust
for their guidance and support in the making of this short film.
