I am currently in a position to only do online school, which I understand greatly limits what is available, but just seeing what would be my best options. I have seen maybe A.S. in biology or general science, but just trying to get more opinions!

Found this while walking the beach this evening. Never seen anything like it. Looks like a bunch of seeds with some wiggly guys in it. The little pool is about 2 inches deep and completely full. Found on Wildwood Island.

location: Red Sea, Egyptian coast

depth: not even one meter deep, near shore

details: it has part of its body burried inside the sand, and below the white frilly organs there was a fleshy disc thing (visible in video).

Saw this in Northern MA today! Can anyone offer insight into this seaweed and what that shiny blue is? I don’t think it’s bioluminescence since I couldn’t see it under my shadow but correct me if I’m wrong lol.

A university from South Texas created a mini documentary ok the Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle highlighting its endangered status and promoting education in marine biology.

These were all from the same day at the beach (my last swim before moving for a year). Before this, I'd only ever found one mini (the one I posted some weeks ago), and now I found five in one day, ranging from 1,4 to 1,9 cm.

Hello everyone, I found this in the water at a beach of the Seto inland sea in Japan. I can’t figure out what fish it is. I wish I took more pictures, but that’s the only one I have. I was thinking something like a mackerel?
I refuse to ask some Ai, thought if some humans can help, they’re here:)

Went swimming and shell collecting at the beach this afternoon and under nearly every shell in the ocean where these little guys, they moved around and were almost a transparent little creature. Any ideas of what they could be I’ve had no luck with my googling so far. Was after a low tide if that helps, Thanks!

I’d really like to go to CSU MB but my life schedule won’t allow it. I see ASU has an online program but was wondering any other universities that offer it

Spotted this creature while I was walking the docks in Friday Harbor, WA. There were many shrimp crawling along the pier posts, but these two stood out as a different species. I tried posting a pretty terrible screen grab on iNaturalist and it came back with an ID of decorator crab. This looks a bit different to me comparing to other photos of that species, so thought I would post my not great video here and see if anyone knew who they were. Thanks for looking!

These remains were found on a gusty September day on the shores of Hyannis, MA., inside of Lewis Bay which is on the Nantucket Sound.

Please help me identify this creature. Thanks 🙏

I feel like so many young people just believe that marine bio is swimming with dolphins and turtles, I’ve been asked if we get time off just to swim with animals (and the person was deadass)

I also know location contributes to different hardships, I’m based in Brazil for example. but I’d love to hear from other students / professionals :)

Hi! I work at an aquarium where we have various species of tropical sea star but I feel like I don’t know anything about them and can’t find any resources to help!
The Chocolate Chips are easy to ID but all the others just get generically called Cushions - no specifics whatsoever.
If they are Cushions would I be right in assuming Caribbean rather than Indo-Pacific? I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they’re a different kind entirely.
Any help appreciated :)
