Plants and animals that live in the world's oceans.
The ocean covers 71% of the Earth, and yet we know virtually nothing about it. What is the bloop? What lurks in the darkness among the anglers and the vampire squid? If you find something cool, interesting, bizarre - anything that is related to the ocean that sparks your interest - please, mention it here.
/r/oceans also shares news, information and conservation articles about the ocean, so check it out if you're interested!

found in the sea in tadoussac, quebec, canada. it's only in the glass so I could get a time-lapse to see if it moved.
I’m not super familiar with ocean life and am a bit new to living anywhere near an ocean (Midwest moved to Southern California). On a visit to the beach yesterday I found a sea hare that had gotten caught on the beach while the tide was going out. It seemed to be alive (though clearly in distress) I tried my best to get it near some rocks with algae on them where waves were still coming up and there might be a bit of shade. Would it have been better to just throw it as far as possible into the water? If I run into this situation again, what’s the best way to help?
Can anyone tell me what these are? Between about 5 and 12mm in length, found last night on a beach in Nova Scotia, packed on to many pieces of seaweed and small driftwood... are they baby something's?
There were tons of them the other night. Probably a foot or two long. Any ideas on what this is?
Found this fish in the rockpools of rhos on sea, north wales a little while back, still not able to figure out what specie it was. Anyone got a clue? Thanks for any help in advance.
