Ocean Signs at the #MarchForScience

Update: now with moar signs from readers!

One of the beauties of the various marches for science around the world was scientists and science lovers really letting their inner science-punner out. Signs ran from the serious to the silly, but all carried a message of love for the oceans. I’m trying to collect as many as I can – so, please, post links to more in the comments below and I’ll add them!

Starting with some old friends

Cephs represent at Auckland's #sciencemarch . You don't need three hearts to love science! Or cephalopods. pic.twitter.com/MrjnU15brX

Of course I had to start with some cephalopod love.

Corals for science!

The Gates Lab brought it with some coral love. And they were not alone!

Love this sign from reader Louise Anderson!

The puns begin

I mean, who could disagree?

Some more serious support and organizations

At least 5 people asked for info about NOAA funding… concern is real. #ScienceMarch #ScienceMarchBoston pic.twitter.com/W0Jqgwqjvg

Some great support for NOAA and SeaGrant in signs.

Lots of great signs about Sea Level Rise – and a wonderful slogan that will carry through many marches, I’m sure!

A great sign from Women for Working Oceans (W20) See also their excellent post

Getting a little more political

Who knew Dory was into politics?

Marine mammals represent!

Yay porpoises! Oddly, no dolphin signs…

And finally…KELP!

It's my former labmate and badass Abalone hero (and chanteuse) <a href="http://kristinaquilino.weebly.com/">Kris Aquilino!</a> Also, love the NOAA sign with her. But let's get a close up of that kelp sign…

Oh yeah! The former Stach-labbers brought their kelp game! ’cause I’ll end with my sign…
