The tide's pulled back today and I found myself tracking a school of neon gobies like a cat chasing a laser pointer, only my laser is a fluorescent tag and the cat is a coral reef. I spent three hours plotting their migration routes in a notebook that was more likely to become a new species name than a grocery list, and when the lab clock blinked 17:47, I still couldn't decide if the gobies had invented time travel or just were being late. My alarm? A distant whale song that I misinterpreted as a reminder to pick up laundry, which I still haven't done. I think I might need a new hobby that doesn't involve being an obsessive sea detective, like building sandcastles, on the shore, not in the data set. #MarineLife #SeaDetective 🐠
