PhD student @CDT_SuMMeR @UniofExeter studying the causes, impacts and evidence-based solutions to marine mammal bycatch in south west England 🐬
‼️NEW PUBLICATION‼️ Thrilled to announce the release of this collaborative paper ‘Using systems mapping to understand the constraints and enablers of solutions to #plastic pollution’. Available here ➡️ sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @ExeterMarine @UoEBiosciences
Always a pleasure and interest to help with the @UniExeCEC @ExeterMarine student PME demos. Two similar but different impaction cases found in these juvenile common dolphins yesterday 🦴 🪱 Thanks as always to Rob, James and the team for their efforts and sharing knowledge 🦭🐬
Really interesting day at @ExeterMarine helping my CSIP colleague James Barnett and CMPT team conduct #CSIOfTheSea marine mammal exams for @JaredKWA and @LuisHuckstadt students. Two young and thin common dolphins- gastric impaction (bones) and other with heavy gastric parasitism.
Hugely important case in Supreme Court today goes to the heart of right to access nature. Whatever the outcome, Labour govt must champion wild camping in our national parks and bring in new right to roam along Scottish model. @right_2roam @everyonesStars standard.co.uk/news/environme…

Always good to share some positive news stories ✅ “This demonstrates what can be achieved through proactive engagement, collaboration with knowledgeable skippers, supportive crews and industry led measures.” #bycatch #etp #protectedspecies seafood.co.nz/news-and-event…

How apt that this was top of my news feed following @LuisHuckstadt talk just now
Thanks to @APjoshgoodman for excellent reporting of ongoing whale killing by the krill fishery in Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Disgusted? Avoid krill oil and krill-fed farmed salmon (1/3) apnews.com/article/antarc…
Excellent but worrying talk from @UniExeCEC @ExeterMarine’s own @LuisHuckstadt on Antarctic sea ice declines & potential impacts for krill, crabeater seals and other marine predators 🦐🦭

Last night’s radar from the Netherlands. An explosion of birds heading to England! I would guess Redwing.
Ik deel hier vaker radarbeelden van vogeltrek, maar die van gisteravond van radar Den Helder (KNMI) zijn toch wel heel bijzonder: vogels wachten op de Waddeneilanden en in Noord-NL de schemering af, om dan massaal over steken naar Engeland, waar ze overwinteren of verder trekken!
🌳 Opportunity to purchase ancient woodland and farmland for community 🌳 Invitation for discussion meeting 2nd Nov 6-8pm Gweek village hall Let’s keep our land development free. For wildlife - food production - the community.


More than a full house yesterday for a brilliant talk from @carolspaks on the why and how of marine mammal science at @_SMRU_ @SMRU_Consulting 🦭🐬 @UniExeCEC @ExeterMarine @ExeterGSES @UniExeCornwall

“Joint Webinars on Fisheries Bycatch” @REDUCE, @MarineBEACON_EU & @CIBBRiNA come back this Friday with the presentation “Toward Fully Automated Intelligent Fishing: can we achieve precision fishing and eliminate bycatch in trawl fisheries?” by Robin Faillettaz (@Ifremer_fr)
HWDT is avertising two exciting marine mammal scientist jobs on their sailing research vessel Silurian hwdt.org/vacancies #cetaceans #passiveacoustics
Some fantastic talks at #Micro2024 from the #PlymouthMarine team. #Exetermarine
Great first 2 days out on the sea for @MarineVertsMSc @ExeterMarine 🌊 Lots of gannets, grey seals, common dolphins & porpoise (yesterday) & bottlenose dolphins today. Other groups spotted a minke & tuna, they managed to evade us. Hopefully spot them soon too 🤞🏻
