There are currently 1000s of drifting floats, buoys, and other observing systems dispersed in our oceans.

These international programs are important for monitoring global climate. Many of these data sets are also publicly available! #WorldOceansDay2023 🌊

A beautiful birds-eye view of #OceanBeach in honor of #WorldOceansDay 🌊

The Bay, the Delta & the #PacificOcean are separate entities in name only; the water that flows across the state & out the Golden Gate is life itself.

We must protect these vital waters wherever they flow!

"Ocean surface waters have warmed about a degree Celsius since pre-industrial times, and that’s speeding up: This April, average global ocean surface waters hit 21.1 degrees Celsius for the first time in recorded history.
