New paper out this week! We reviewed the potential mechanisms of #pathogen attachment and dispersal from #plastic surfaces within a changing oceanic system. #ETLS

The last day of #SETACSeville and we have one final poster! Siobhan is sharing their research on the conservation of the central nervous system in #zebrafish after exposure to physcoactive pharmaceuticals. Check out their poster in Area 1, poster 28!
And finally, today I will be sharing our new research project investigating #microplastics in #biosolids to assess environmental risk. Come find my poster in Area 3, Poster 574. #SETACSeville
@Jake_Bowley will be sharing his work investigating the effects of chemical exposure on whole genome transcriptomics of #daphniapulex. Find his poster today in Area 1, poster 100. #SETACSeville
Congratulations Dr Jake Bowley! @Jake_Bowley
Fantastic to see another Uni of Exeter Cefas PhD student successfully complete their project. Best Wishes for all that comes next Jake 👏👨🎓 @CefasGovUK
Basking Shark 🦈 vs Bluefin Tuna 🐟
Exclusive for #worldbaskingsharkday a 🧵
A world’s first moment from this summer. We captured this amazing event, where a bluefin tuna attacked a basking shark for around 20min. Check out the drone footage 👇 /1
Budds Farm sewage treatment plant has been discharging the sewage waste of 400,000+ people for 160 hours continuous (~7 days & counting) into Langstone Harbour: a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Special Area of Conservation (SAC) & Internat. RAMSAR site for rare birds
Preprint now available for our work evaluating the different spatial conservation requirements of #marine#predator taxonomic groups and highlighting where we are failing to adequately protect them in the #MediterraneanSea@MariaBeger@DrSimon_Goodman 🐳🦈🐟
📢Happy to share this collection of articles highlighting advances in understanding of #plasticpollution, from its effect on species & ecosystems to its link to #climatechange

Astonishing, we've almost got a full house.
Of the 86 bathing sites on the @SouthernWater map, 78 are showing sewage releases 💩
If we manually add 'non-impacting' releases, we're down to 3 unpolluted locations in Kent, Sussex and Hampshire.
Difficult to know what to say 🤷♂️
Another day, same old 💩💩💩
And yet creaking infrastructure and missed targets somehow equal big exec pay and shareholder payouts... Anyone else feel that something is amiss with this equation? 🤔
@DefraGovUK, @Ofwat, @EnvAgency it's time to act to #EndSewagePollution
Interested in microplastics and aquaculture? An exciting PhD project is advertised at @CRIPESCardiff with @SWBio_DTP to explore the role of the plastisphere in disease and fish welfare in #aquaculture 🐟 https://t.co/O3jyKvwCq4
New paper from @ExeterMarine colleagues with Cefas co-author @cbakeraustin on mechanisms of pathogen transport on plastic debris #marineplastics
