Trapania vitta is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Goniodorididae. The body of this goniodorid nudibranch is opaque white. The gills and rhinophores are white with orange tips and the lateral papillae are entirely white. The oral tentacles are orange and there is usually an orange line extending from the tip of the tail partway towards the gills. It probably feeds on Entoprocta which often grow on sponges and other living substrata. Romblon, Philippines
A visit from my 2014 photo op at the Vancouver Zoo. The sea otters were quite playful and so I climbed up the plexiglass where I shouldn't have to try and capture their relaxed floating style upclose and personal...
Marine life, or sea life or ocean life, is the plants, animals and other organisms that live in the salt water of the sea or ocean, or the brackish water of coastal estuaries. At a fundamental level, marine life affects the nature of the planet. Marine organisms produce oxygen and sequester carbon. Shorelines are in part shaped and protected by marine life, and some marine organisms even help create new land. The term marine comes from the Latin mare, meaning sea or ocean. Most life forms evolved initially in marine habitats. By volume, oceans provide about 90 percent of the living space on the planet. The earliest vertebrates appeared in the form of fish, which live exclusively in water. Some of these evolved into amphibians which spend portions of their lives in water and portions on land. Other fish evolved into land mammals and subsequently returned to the ocean as seals, dolphins or whales. Plant forms such as kelp and algae grow in the water and are the basis for some underwater ecosystems. Plankton forms the general foundation of the ocean food chain, particularly the phytoplankton which are key primary producers. Marine invertebrates exhibit a wide range of modifications to survive in poorly oxygenated waters, including breathing tubes as in mollusc siphons. Fish have gills instead of lungs, although some species of fish, such as the lungfish, have both. Marine mammals, such as dolphins, whales, otters, and seals need to surface periodically to breathe air. There are over 200,000 documented marine species with perhaps two million marine species yet to be documented. Marine species range in size from the microscopic, including phytoplankton which can be as small as 0.02 micrometres, to huge cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises), including the blue whale โ the largest known animal reaching 33 metres in length. Marine microorganisms, including protists, bacteria and viruses, constitute about 70% of the total marine biomass. 31150

Seals are aquatic mammals which belong to the family โPinnipediaโ which means โwinged-feetโ and refers to their flippers, which are specially adapted for life in the sea. There are 33 species of seal worldwide, two of which live around the British coastlines. The Common seal (also known as the Harbour Seal) and the Grey Seal are the two species found in the United Kingdom....This one was seen ashore on the River Humber ..

Minerโs Urchin Shrimp (Gnathophylloides mineri) is also called Dwarf Urchin Shrimp and is closely related to the bumblebee shrimp. They can be found on sea urchins in shallow waters and are usually seen holding on to one of the spines of the sea urchin. This shrimp species often lives in pairs.

I was fortunate to snap this shoal of Humpback Snapper off the world famous atoll of Rangiroa in French Polynesia which is a mecca for divers, with a diversity of marine life that is truly spectacular. Manta rays, sea turtles, barracudas, dolphins, sharks, napoleonfish can also be seen.
Walking under this pier during low tide at Deception Pass State Park in Washington provided me with some interesting structures to photograph. After years of exposure to the sea, barnacles and seaweed have made this structure their home.

Whale watching off Australia's most easterly point, just at the foot of Byron Bay's Lighthouse. The whales came incredibly close :)
This is the first time that I am working/editting with Lightroom. I have yet MUCH to learn!

It was so neat seeing all these starfish on a boat tour in Seward Alaska. The waves would come in and out and expose them.
