Fantastic work by Prof Bill Austin and his co-authors. This adds to our knowledge of #bluecarbon in Scotland. Thanks to @ClimateXChange_ for guiding the process.

Vegetated #coastline, including #seagrass, #mangroves, and #saltmarsh, are under extreme pressure in Scotland and globally. New report from @univofstandrews on the potential for managed realignment to increase #bluecarbon https://t.co/32GGgZrvzr #ClimateEmergency #mitigation

We identified 108 MCCIP key challenges and emerging issues across 26 MCCIP topics – View them all here!

New paper by our scientists found that 🏖️beaches in north east of Scotland were up to six times cleaner between 2019 and 2020. 80 beaches were surveyed and the litter weighed. Read the blog ➡️ https://t.co/DWvABBt5eC

A new report on the significance of saltmarsh in Scotland for trapping and storing carbon is an example of the ground-breaking work of the Scottish Blue Carbon Forum. Read more ➡️ https://t.co/2ZX8wVncCw

Registration is live for the Blue Carbon Conference to coincide with #COP26. Taking place on 11/12 November at @RoyalSocEd the Scottish Blue Carbon Forum event will address scientific and policy-facing issues. For more: https://t.co/rS5BV9MGMg #LetsDoNetZero #ClimateWeekScotland

Great to see this work being published, well done @mat_pace & our colleague @BillTurrell1 👏🥳

And thanks to all on board the MRV Alba na Mara and MRV Sir John Murray for their help with the surveys🚢🚢

@SunnysidePri @kathrynjeffs @Leisa_Stewart @seashepherd @Jools_Orca @ArranCoast @cathgem2000 @HughHarrop @OP_Society @marinescotland @ProjectSeagrass this is why there are 3 answers to "how many oceans are there?" (4, 5 and of course, 1)

[Bill Turrell @BillTurrell1]

@ColmPers @ICES_ASC Great movie. I did not appreciate that there have always been northern catches in the Nordic seas.

📢 There's still time to sign up for @climateurope #ClimateThursdays webinar➡️ https://t.co/jqkIFDXsiV

Tune in tomorrow to hear #MSS scientist @b_berx discussing the @BG10Blueaction project & how ocean prediction & observations can be used in response to #ClimateChange 🌊🌍

[Bill Turrell @BillTurrell1]

@oceanbev @NOCnews Congrats Ed!

[Bill Turrell @BillTurrell1]

A great way forward!

[Bill Turrell @BillTurrell1]

Yes. First really practical way of moving forward. Love how they brought everybody along with them with voting.

[Bee Berx @b_berx]

The approach taken by LOCEAN to adopt 3 measures to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 is great to see. Really keen to see if we can explore some of this more in our organisations and community @marinescotland @mastscot @challengersoc @BillTurrell1 @OCSAM_Scot

[Bill Turrell @BillTurrell1]

@AzoresDeepSea @francis_neat Great footage Francis!

[Bill Turrell @BillTurrell1]

@_alicemoore @cathgem2000 This is vital data for Scotland. Thanks to you both and all MCS volunteers!

[Bill Turrell @BillTurrell1]

Well done Bee!

[Office of the Chief Scientific Advisor Marine @OCSAM_Scot]

Great set of talks at the climate change session @mastscot ASM. Thanks to @b_berx for chairing and leading @mastscot climate chair forum. @RGUPALS @marinescotland

[Bill Turrell @BillTurrell1]

@DickeyCollas @ICES_ASC Before C-19 hit, we estimated that ICES related travel had annual emissions greater than the Faroe Islands - see https://t.co/DJIeoKQ5kV - lets take one positive from the C-19 tragedy and not go back to that @flyingless

[Bill Turrell @BillTurrell1]

@DickeyCollas @ICES_ASC Interesting observations. We also have to consider the equity of the impact of climate change, which will disadvantage the poor greatest. Virtual meetings reduces our own contribution to emissions.

Calling oceanographic, hydrodynamic, bio-physical modellers - there is a 2 year contract available @marinescotland deadline 21 Sept - take a look https://t.co/cZiwHpFvZB #oceanography

[Bee Berx @b_berx]

One of the @mastscot Marine Climate Change Forum activities is to create impact for the Scottish marine scientists at @COP26. Get those thinking caps on 🧢and let us know about your events (incl. ideas)!

@SazReed @SAMSoceannews 91% of plastic entering west coast sea is from Scottish litter and 93% of this comes from Clyde catchment area. https://t.co/7PbaWl6mQG #marineplastic @mcsuk
