    🌍 Earth Day 2025: Our Planet, Our PowerThis Earth Day, we’re reminded that real change begins with us. The theme for Earth Day 2025—“Our Planet, Our Power”—is a call to action. It urges people everywhere to recognize the power we each hold to protect the environment through education, advocacy, and community support. At the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation, we believe in that power. For more than two decades, we’ve worked to preserve the health of our blue planet by focusing on one of its most vital—and most threatened—ecosystems: the ocean. We work with scientists across the globe to assess the health of coral reefs and coastal marine ecosystems. The knowledge gained through these partnerships is used to inform conservation decisions and help protect vulnerable habitats.Just as importantly, we invest in education. Through our award-winning educational programs, we provide students, teachers, and communities with the tools they need to understand the ocean and the role it plays in their lives. We believe that education is one of the most powerful tools we have to spark change—because when people understand the value of the ocean, they’re more likely to fight to protect it. This Earth Day, we invite you to join us in using your power to protect the planet:🌊 Learn more about the ocean and the threats it faces.📢 Advocate for policies that protect marine ecosystems🤝 Support organizations doing conservation work♻️ Reduce your environmental footprint📚 Share your knowledge to inspire others to careTogether, we are not powerless in the face of environmental destruction. We are powerful agents of change.🌊 Learn more: https://www.livingoceansfoundation.org/earth-day-2025-our-planet-our-power/#EarthDay2025 #OurPlanetOurPower #OceanConservation #MarineScience #LivingOceansFoundation #STEMeducation #CoralReefs #BluePlanet ...

    How do you eat when you don’t have appendages? Snakes on land have an expandable jaw that allows them to move their jaws forward in order to eat their prey whole. Eels do not have this capability. Eels, like this spotted moray eel (Gymnothorax moringa), have two sets of jaws to help them feed. The oral jaws capture the prey, while the phalangeal jaws reach towards the oral jaws to pull the prey into its throat.

    #FunFact: 🧽Most of the time, we think of sponges as the rectangular cleaning tool next to our sink, but did you know that sea sponges are actually animals? Most sponges are sessile, meaning that they can’t move. In order to eat, they must filter feed. Sponges have specialized cells that push water through their small pores to filter out plankton and other tiny organisms.🪸Learn more about sponges and other marine creatures on our Coral Reef Education Portal: https://www.livingoceansfoundation.org/education/portal/ ...
