You know your job is excitingly global when the iPhone won't let you add a location to the World Clock unless you delete one... and you can't! @projectseahorse @IUCNSeahorse @SSCmarine

A special shout out to @jr_guest @golbuu @PICRCPalau @Coralassist_Lab on #WorldOceansDay to thank them for hosting the inimitable @DivingMsDaisy and making her one of your own! What a fabulous learning experience-so much great coral science! @UVicScience @world_at_uvic @UVic
So grateful to @PICRCPalau and the people of Palau or letting us work on their incredible reefs…and to this good-looking bunch of legends for welcoming me onto the team @Coralassist_Lab @LeverhulmeTrust

Advice from @SeabirdCentre:
"Please do not touch dead or injured birds.
If you come across an injured or ill seabird please contact SSPCA: 03000 999 999
Please report dead birds to DEFRA: 03459 33 55 77"
We’ve had several reports of dead or injured #gannets in #EastLothian today. This may be a natural event but due to the current outbreak of avian flu at Shetland seabird colonies, the situation is being closely monitored by @NatureScot and Government.

Fantastic presentation by @JessicaMeeuwig @countingfishes @meeuwiglab on the Global Ocean Wildlife Analysis Network with @ukgovbluebelt. Simple, cost effective, with research questions designed by users to help MPA management. Plus some very cool videos! #smallislandsbigimpact

We’ve loved hearing from some fantastic speakers this morning during session 1 on the important work taking place in the UKOTs #SmallIslandBigImpact #UKOT #WorldOceanDay 🌊 youtube.com/watch?v=ksY_OoLe…
@countingfishes spent last week with the @doecayman team deploying mid-water, seabed and mesophotic #BRUVS in the #CaymanIslands as part of @UKgovbluebelt #GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork. Look forward to seeing the range of fish across the three habitats! #Bluebelt
The @meeuwiglab just finished up our #oceanwildlife surveys using mid-water #BRUVS from @countingfishes at the Geographe Bay and Southwest Corner Marine Parks @Parks_Australia. 200 deployments in 10 days with hectic weather, supported by #LeeuwinMarineCharters #BlueAbacus
To the women working with the lab: Jenny, Abi and Maicey, we look forward to watching your journeys. To @countingfishes who keeps science going & thank you to the wonderful men in our lab who contribute to ocean conservation whilst supporting a safe and equitable space for women.
... Hanna Jabour Christ who completed a 1st class honours on functional ecology of pelagic species … watch this space for the paper. @Shona__Murray who has progressed her PhD whilst COVID-stuck in the UK and still continues her work on IUCN Vulnerable silky sharks.
On #InternationalWomensDay the Marine Futures Lab would like to celebrate the achievements of our women researchers contributing to ocean conservation. @BiolSci_UWA
...@NaimasOcean who published on endangered hammerheads and media raises attention on protection.
So good to see the #CoP26 announcement of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor #CMAR marine park. It will protect an ocean highway across the ocean territories of Columbia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Panama. We continue to deploy our #BRUVS across the region @NG_PristineSeas

Yesterday Ascension Island & St Helena's #BRUVS were packed up and sent ready for loading onto #DY143!
PhD student @Shona__Murray will be onboard the #DY143 expedition and helping deploy these pieces of kit around the OTs. 🐬🦈🐠
#GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork
The #GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork is a series of #BRUVS across 10 #UKOTs incl: Pitcairn, Ascension, St Helena, Tristan da Cunha, BIOT & BAT.
The network will collect vital information on marine life and support OTs to grow understanding of their marine environment #COP26

Want to know how technology is supporting Tristan da Cunha's Areas To Be Avoided?Satellite,NovaSAR-1, visible infrared imaging radiometer suites & the Blue Belt Shared Intelligence Hub (BBSIH) are working to minimise risks from maritime accidents: bit.ly/3DxVnnV @GO_ASHT

Our #GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork is building understanding of both pelagic and benthic habitats around 10 #UKOTs.
Footage like this from #Montserrat will help inform protective and management measures into the future. #WorldHabitatDay @countingfishes

Tristan da Cunha secure landmark achievement for the protection of their marine environment, as:
➡️No-take Marine Protection Zone of 700,000 sqkm is legally secured
➡️5-year marine management plan is published
