🐋🌊 New #research into #Alaska's #BristolBay beluga whales reveals a surprising social strategy. Instead of a few dominant males, these long-lived #whales take a "plenty of #fish in the sea" approach, frequently switching partners to maintain genetic #health.

This flexible mating system helps their small, isolated population avoid inbreeding.

The purple #seastar aka #OchreSeastar - Pisaster ochraceus - is one of the most commonly found #starfish along the coasts of #BritishColumbia. You can see they have thousands of tiny feet on their legs to help them move around.

The purple sea star is considered a #KeystoneSpecies & an essential indicator of #OceanHealth.
