CPR Survey Plankton Analysts identify & record phyto & zooplankton from North Atlantic & N. Pacific. Since 1958 our analysis methods haven't changed, so data reflect changes in our ocean. All samples are kept in a physical archive & available for future research #MBACPRSurvey

Got excited when I spotted this vessel in Lerwick Harbour this afternoon! The Hildasay, one of the volunteer vessels that tow Continuous Plankton Recorders for the @CPRSurvey Thank you @NLFerries for helping collect important ocean data! @thembauk #Shetland #oceanscience

499! That's how many zooplankton taxonomic entities we record on our #CPRSurvey samples! The latest addition came last week, when we added tiny (0.3 microns) polychaete larvae to the list. Wonder what the 500th will be? #Taxonomy #Plankton #Detail #ByEye #LightMicroscopy

Not coffee, but thousands of diatoms! A bloom of Coscinodiscus wailesii a non-native species 1st found nr Plymouth in 1977 fills this week's #plankton sample! https://t.co/t8Bs0dtDew). Their large size & unpalatable taste may make them less appealing to native zooplankton @mba_rv

So pleased to see "trail hunting" paused on @nationaltrust land, now just need to hope it's banned for good #keeptheban #smokescreen #protectourwildlife

[National Trust @nationaltrust]

@ChrisGPackham Hello Chris, we’ve taken the decision to pause trail hunting on National Trust land and will not be issuing any licences for the remainder of the season.

Nematocysts are the stinging cells of jellyfish. When stimulated, they burst open with barbs acting like a drill, penetrating into the foreign object. If present, toxins pass through the hollow thread, penetrating & paralysing the victim’s tissues! #Worldjellyfishday #1daylate

When i was diving a few days ago, i took what i think is my most favourite pic to date of a small spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula), i mean seriously just look at this dude!
