Every time this flashes up on the Ireland vs England ⚽️ match, I see the #SouthPark kids sat in class 🤣 It will warp your fragile little mind!

Months before he died of cancer, Don Anderson gave his daughter, Lola, a note.

It was a diary entry Lola had thrown away as a child which said her dream was to win Olympic rowing gold. Her dad had kept it.

She's got her gold medal ❤️

Not a bad job having to survey these walks 🤩

Yesterday during our 'Connecting the Coast' survey we were reminded just how stunning our coastline is along the King Charles III England Coast Path. This is the Blackhall section with a great view of the Denemouth viaduct.

Great to have had the opportunity to go out diving with this exciting project 🤿

[ExploreSeaScapes @tynetotees]

Over the recent bank holiday weekend, the 'Beneath the Waves' Team and volunteer divers successfully captured images of 3 local #wrecks (Ben Ardna, Ethel Taylor, Oslo) as part of the project’s ongoing #photogrammetry work 🤿

Great survey on Friday with the National Trust and SeaScapes Team

[ExploreSeaScapes @tynetotees]

On Friday we had another successful 'Our Coast, Our Wildlife' survey. Ranger Jason demonstrated bird ringing and explained its importance in relation to gaining a better understanding of bird movement, survival and territory use 🐥🐣

A great turn out for today’s beach clean!

Nice weather for a beach clean!
A big thank you to the students and staff from @trevscollege who attended todays beach clean at Noses Point. As you can see we collected a lot of rubbish including ghost netting and industrial reminders from the coal mining years.

Wow! #NorthernLights over Sunderland UK - stunning!!!#aurora #solar

This male sumatran orangutan is Raku: he got a wound on his right cheek. Scientists were surprised to spot him applying a medicinal plant on his face: akar kuning (Fibranaurea tinctoria), a type of climbing vine that acts as an analgesic.

After about 8 days he applied the chewed stems and leaves of the plant, the wound began to heal and in approximately a month he completely recovered.

This series of observations undoubtedly constitutes the conclusive proof of the level of ingenuity that these majestic animals have.

[Michael Burn @MichaelBurn20]

Not a bad job……

[ExploreSeaScapes @tynetotees]

Today we had another successful 'Our Coast Our Wildlife' Nature Survey at White Lea farm with Jason and the team. We recorded 42 species during our walk and then carried out some checks on the bird boxes. Check our events pages for future surveys🦋#volunteering #wildlife #survey

What an absolute privilege it was today taking part in the rescue of a stranded porpoise at Seaham - we wish her well ❤️

[ExploreSeaScapes @tynetotees]

Today BDMLR were alerted to a stranded Porpoise at Seaham. Volunteer medics included a mixture of old and new SeaScapes staff who knew the area well. The team managed to re-float the Porpoise and we hope that she can now continue to swim and feed along our amazing coastline 🐬

The indiscriminate spoils of the bottom trawler. Catching & killing everything. How can this be allowed to happen in Marine Protected Areas? 🚨🐟@Trawler_Bycatch @oceana @OceanaUK @seaspiracy @FairSeasIreland @TheOpenSeas

[Michael Burn @MichaelBurn20]

Great effort 🙏

[ExploreSeaScapes @tynetotees]

A big thank you to the volunteers from PX Limited who carried out a beach clean today at Seaton Carew. We collected a total of 30 bags and removed equipment that would have quickly become an entanglement hazard for marine wildlife.
