@sussex_ifca deploying 12 new acoustic receivers as part of @fish_intel project Angling for Sustainability Great teamwork! @plymuni FISHINTEL uses cutting-edge tech to identify & record the movements + favoured habitats of European bass, pollack, bluefin tuna & crawfish.

I love this photo of Ross community garden, especially as it includes our GP surgery and Ross Community Hospital. 3 layers of health provision next to each other - a true health campus.
