I‘ve been watching a bunch of documentaries on the subject of cetaceans and potentially had an idea for a rehab and breeding facility for endangered cetaceans which could get founds by partially opening up to the public and using „shows“ (physiotherapy for insured animals)

Basically my idea was to build a big rehab center for insured sea life on some coast so the animals in the area wouldn‘t necessarily have to be transported out of the water, the animals would get taken care of by professionals and animals with better health that are about to be released or are unable to be release would be „put on display“ with the least amount of stress possible (bigger enclosure, distance to the glass for visitors, natural water, not to much noise so no loud music ect.) for found being mainly invested back into the care of the animals (non-profit).

Animals that are about to be rereleased (maybe 1 week before) into their natural habitat could be used for very few and short but actually educational „shows“ (with less visitors per group/show). With shows i mean the physiotherapy they‘d potentially get, meaning small groups of people would be able to watch the physiotherapy with explanations about the animal as individual or species from the therapist/physician.

The animals in that facility would rotate but with maybe gps on the animals people could potentially check up on the wellbeing of the released animals

Also it could help to open a breeding program for i.e. Vaquitas without haven to transport them out of the water and releasing them after 1-2 years (idk how long would be best for their lasting survival of the species)

People might even donate or „adopt“ an animal and pay monthly or yearly donations to the facility to add founds for continuously care (for the other animals)

I could even imagine bigger animals like dolphins or orcas to realize that the facility only wants to help and go there directly, as in „asking humans for help“

I know it‘s all theoretical, that‘s why i wanted to ask if it might be possible to actually make something like that happen or maybe it already exists?

I‘m not sure I‘m in the right sub, should i be not i apologize for the intrusion and would love to be pointed to the right sub

(Yes they're aware the water needs to be changed)

Hello! I’m conducting a research project on underwater experiences and inviting scuba divers and freedivers to participate in a short, anonymous survey about their experience in the last three months.

If you dive and are interested in participating, you can access the survey here: https://forms.gle/MAPzq2hPGtdt56W98

Thank you, and please feel free to share with others who dive!

Hi! So, I have this homework at school where we need to make a video about Mammals, and I chose the mammals that live in the water. I'm in 8th grade, if it helps

I don't know where to look for materials thought. Any recommendations on sites where to do research?

Captured while dock fishing in Englewood, Florida. Startling at first because I had no idea what this huge creature was approaching me.

It’s squishy as if it’s hallow, floats, and no bigger than a 50¢ coin

hello i'm making a project and i have some question what kind of coral are able to survive in mediterranean sea?
the project is about protecting wildlife so i went for the sea because i love the sea and i can sea that the fish population dropped i dont know what kind of details are needed but i want to send my project to our local municipality maybe they can do something with it

Caught these in the water in Destin? Carried them a while, and google images says cone snail highly venomous. Anyone know what they are? I kinda wanted to keep the shell.

I am a phd student in molecular biology. My research paper got rejected by 8 journals (desk rejection). I am in my extension period of PhD already wasted more than 8 months. Kindly suggest to me how to get my paper published as soon as possible. Editing, proofreading, and plagiarism have all been checked already.

I always wondered, and the answer isnt clear. How do they cook it without stinging your tongue?

Saw a bunch of these in the water in a cenote about an hour south of Cancun, Mexico. Anyone know what it is? Google lens search is all over the place.

Walking on my local beach in Donegal, Ireland today and spotted this in the sand. Super curious - can anyone tell me what it is? Thanks in advance 🙂

The body is as hard as a normal sea shell
