Science tells us how the Cumbrian Lakes are changing… our monitoring, dating back to 1945, reveals the day-to-day and decade-to-decade story of these sensitive ecosystems.

Data from nature, for nature 💙

@LoveWindermere @UKCEH_LakeEco @freshwaterbio @SteveThackeray @DrEllie_Mackay @H_notts The long-term record for these #lakes is the most comprehensive of any in the world. Only with regular monitoring can we distinguish day-to-day variations from decadal-scale directional change, and provide insights into underlying causes.

A #Marl -vellous #PhD opportunity to investigate the #ecological mysteries of #Marl #lakes using #palaeolimnological techniques at the University of Sterling. Supported by myself.

We hosted the 8th Cumbrian Lakes Research Forum recently with great contributions from a range of speakers.

Thanks to all who took part! See a summary of the day from @H_notts @UKCEH_LakeEco ➡️https://t.co/Z6lLk3qp0C #freshwater @DrEllie_Mackay @SteveThackeray @freshwaterbio

Fantastic day teaching @LancsUniLEC MSc students involving @UK_CEH @freshwaterbio @NENorthWest about #lake #monitoring. From @UK_CEH's #CitSci #BloominAlgae app to traditional #watersampling that forms @UK_CEH #longterm #monitoring programme to @Riverflies &their complementarity

[Heather Moorhouse @H_notts]

A great #mapping tool presented by @natural_course which helps identify potential #wetland #woodland intervention schemes @UKILN

[Heather Moorhouse @H_notts]

Learning how our #fourleggedcompanions 🐕 can detect #invasivecrayfish. Fascinating work by #southwestlakestrust @ukiln #INNS

[Heather Moorhouse @H_notts]

Using #lake #sediments to track #phosphorus over the #longterm, provide #baselines & understand the role of #internalloading. The value of #palaeolimnology to support #monitoring @MadzMoyle @UKILN

[Heather Moorhouse @H_notts]

The @UK_CEH #BloominAlgae #app is helping to build up vital #bloom records & alert #regulators. Download it today! @janthealgaeman @UKILN

I really like this quote "the most successful projects get people to get people to get involved" @nature_scot discusses how #greeninfrastructure benefits #society and #wildlife #CommunityEngagement @UKILN

[Heather Moorhouse @H_notts]

"We are destabilising our complex ecosystems" #freshwaterecosystems show the highest #extinctionrates. @Global_Nature_F @LivingLakesNet introduces the urgent need for #civilsociety #global #partnerships @UKILN

When social bonds in #sharks 🦈are altered, this impacts wider #ecological processes. Keynote @DJacoby_Marine shines light on these amazing top #predators 🦈 #BESAG2023 @BES_AquaEco @LecReefs @LancsUniLEC

[Heather Moorhouse @H_notts]

And we are off. Welcome to all delegates to the #BESAG2023 #BESaquatic @BES_AquaEco. @SteveThackeray from @UK_CEH @UKCEH_LakeEco opens Day 1.

[Heather Moorhouse @H_notts]

Loved getting my #science on for the #BigWindermereSurvey today.A top #CitSci project ran with precision by @freshwaterbio @LancsUniLEC @bensurridge & executed by fab #volunteers. Sites in&around the whole lake sampled to help pinpoint local-broader issues.
