Speechless. Just speechless.

Who loves our new 50th Anniversary #SaveSpectacular of Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary? 😍

NOAA's Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary encompasses 17 reefs and banks located approximately 80–125 miles off the Texas and Louisiana coasts. These banks are a combination of small underwater mountains, ridges, troughs, and hard-bottom features formed as a result of dynamic salt domes beneath the seafloor. The habitats associated with these banks range from thriving coral reefs and coral communities, to deeper mesophotic reefs filled with black corals, octocorals, algal nodules, and sponges. These varied habitats provide havens for reef fish and invertebrates, as well as manta rays, sea turtles, and sharks.

Take a look for yourself, and download the poster today!

Some random WTTT headcanons because I have a cold and can't focus on anything:

Greg is mute. He communicates mostly with ASL, but most of the states don't know it, so he also carries a slate or gets a state who does know ASL to interpret

Florida has repeatedly stolen Gov's desk chair, to the point where Gov bolted it to the floor at one point to get him to stop (it didn't work)

If Alaska gets overwhelmed, he'll find his nearest dog and just bury his face in their fur. He will stay like that for several minutes to several hours

Alaska's dogs were abandoned off the side of the road. Alaska found them and decided to take them in, nurse them to health, then turn them in to a rescue. However, he eventually grew so fond of the dogs he couldn't bear to part with them

Florida's favorite ship dynamic is enemies-to-lovers, hence why he ships TexaCali. He also ships NY/NJ, VA/MA, and OH/MI

Louisiana, on the other hand, ships CaliYork. This has caused more fights between him and Florida than literally anything else

The states technically don't need to sleep, but still choose to sometimes so they can catch a break. The only ones that don't are New York and Gov

Mother Nature is a shapeshifter

Miami is the only character IDC can stand, and IDC is the only character who can stand Miami

Louisiana and Florida originally weren't sitting next to each other in the seating chart for the Table, but Florida forced the state sitting next to Louisiana to move so he could take their part

California has a small horde of stuffed animals/plushies

The states tried playing D&D once. It was total chaos and they never even reached the hook. Gov was originally the DM, then California took over right when the game started, then a fight broke about between him and Texas over who should DM. Florida ate at least one die
