Happy Monday Ocean Friends,
This week, I jumped from Twitter and got onto BlueSky properly. It is nice over there! Lots of climate people, scientists, and people-not-infected-with-crazy-political-cults. Come and check me out: @wmlutz.bsky.social
Good stuff this week. Got to learn more about the engineering behind indoor shrimp farming. Super cool.
Have a good week!
