Lots of information gathered from many visits to #coral farms and #restoration projects showcasing how the mandated 10% of coral required for restocking on #artificialreefs can work. The sculptures are breathtaking in their own right! @CefasGovUK @TERANGI_ @IslaMacMillan

Have you ever wondered how you can introduce children to the subject of overfishing and fisheries management in a fun and fascinating way? Why don't you turn fish into... sweets?🍬 How? Check out the hands-on #lesson idea we came up with @jemimadimbleby : https://t.co/bJcyuXVwhX

To the MPs who yesterday voted to remove #sustainability as the prime objective of the #FisheriesBill - take note: All stakeholders across the board had agreed had it should be the top priority after #Brexit https://t.co/I9PPVbK5ul #fisheries

Scientists have discovered what is thought to be the first ever documented free-swimming #elasmobranch lacking skin-related structures. The well-developed Blackmouth Catshark caught in Sardinian waters was missing skin & teeth. https://t.co/qgVkkaJTjp

"Sharks need all the positive publicity they can get" - & this article from @helenscales featuring @Elasmo_Gal certainly helps, especially with this beautiful illustration accompanying it! https://t.co/pPDpkCUeLC

@mjattrill Thank you Martin! Will head over and have a look now :)

Supertrawlers need to be better managed and monitored, just like other fishing vessels.

That's why we're calling for ​the government to roll out camera systems on all vessels ​in the forthcoming #FisheriesBill 🎣 @DefraGovUK

I’ve seen UK coral reefs smashed to smithereens by French trawlers. Supertrawlers ‘make a mockery’ of UK’s protected seas https://t.co/IZHG1HR6Re https://t.co/344c9ZXM5A

This #Angelshark was accidentally caught in Irish waters & subsequently released! This species is #CriticallyEndangered & has declined drastically over the past 50-100 years, so any sightings provide incredibly valuable information. They can be recorded to https://t.co/P97x87zXDG

The stunning southwest coastal path yesterday, providing some light relief from #coronavirus turmoil! #bluespaces @swcoastpath

Good news: The oceanic whitetip shark is being added to @BonnConvention App. I, giving 130 Parties a new binding obligation to protect the species. Caution: Parties' record for doing so re: other listed sharks is not great. We must #HoldThemToIt https://t.co/4qQcRUEwJe #CMSCOP13
