Absolutely heartbreaking to see the city that taught me conservation treat its established greenspaces like this 😔

[Luke Pollard MP @LukePollard]

The true extent of the environmental vandalism by #Plymouth’s Conservative council is now visible in our city centre. Over 100 trees felled overnight. This was the last green part of a very urban city centre and now looks like part of the Amazon after deforestation.

The age-old question

[National Park Service @NatlParkService]

Potato or Manatee?

MSc Marine Conservation with distinction ✅

Grateful for this past year at @PlymUni and excited to see what comes next!

🌱Just like forests on land, kelp plays a crucial role in the regulation of our atmosphere by absorbing carbon dioxide.

🌲The kelp forest off Plymouth contributes to the nationwide @QGCanopy tree planting initiative, marking The Queen’s #PlatinumJubilee.

[The Queen's Green Canopy @QGCanopy]

The #queensgreencanopy got in, on, and under the water in Plymouth today! 🌊

We were so inspired by the wild swimmers who came out to join QGC Ambassador @LewisPugh to celebrate the #Plymouth #kelp forest which has been dedicated to The Queen for the #PlatinumJubilee 🌱

Speaking of my dissertation! I'm wrapping up my final data collection, but there's still time to get involved. If you're a dive operator or diver in Cayman, please take my survey: https://t.co/Qdhx1YRNSh

Incredible getting to experience Coral Fest! Learning about the cutting-edge work being done to protect coral reefs, seeing so many people excited to help, and having the honour of standing at the Anguilla table to talk about results from part of my dissertation. What a dream!

[JNCC @JNCC_UK]

At yesterday’s Coral Fest, co-hosted by @doecayman and the C-COT working group, we welcomed the public to learn about coral reefs across the Caribbean and Western Atlantic and engage in the vital action being taken to conserve them through themed booths, demos, games, and more!

My manatee adoptee <3

Featured Manatee Adpotee: Moo Shoo!
A female manatee first identified in 2010, she has had three calves. Enjoy a short video and learn more about Moo Shoo and how to adopt her at: https://t.co/9ng7qYtQkb

My thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

For my MSc dissertation, I’m looking for divers to complete an anonymous survey. Specifically:
-Dive professionals working in Anguilla or the Cayman Islands
-Recreational divers who have been to Anguilla or the Cayman Islands
Survey links: https://t.co/Qdhx1YRNSh
Thank you! 🪸

[Steph Jones @OceanStateSteph]

So lucky to have been able to visit Anguilla as part of my dissertation project! I'm incredibly grateful for the experience and for the opportunity to learn from and be guided by the people doing this important work. #UoPMarineCons

[JNCC @JNCC_UK]

We've been in Montserrat & Anguilla to begin discussions & scoping work with stakeholders under this year’s @UKCSSF funded project to Implement Coral Reef Action Plans in the UKOTs. We look forward to continuing to work with Montserrat & Anguilla on their #CoralReefs 🪸 #WOD2022

[Zoë Munson @zoemunson_]

So so proud of our little team @NewDepthsNGO ending the year with our final NGO pitch at the dragons den 🐉 I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to work with on this exciting project 🌞💙Congratulations to everyone at #UoPMarineCons for absolutely smashing it 🍻🎊

[Steph Jones @OceanStateSteph]

For anyone in Florida, if you see a manatee with fresh wounds please report it to FWC. Manatees are already coming off a difficult winter season of cold stress/starvation events...just in time for boat season. It's a LOT 😟 #savethemanatees

[Save the Manatee @savethemanatee]

How to tell a #manatee is in distress – fresh wounds vs. healed wounds: Healed wounds resulting in scars often look white/grey (below left), fresh wounds appear as deep gashes with sometimes open muscle exposed (below right) & should be reported to FWC: 1-888-404-3922 #ManateeTip

[Steph Jones @OceanStateSteph]

Love the idea of the deep sea as a "dimension of imagination"! @NewDepthsNGO #cometonewdepthswithus

[NOAA Ocean Exploration @oceanexplorer]

In the ocean, the #twilightzone is depths between 200-1,000 m (660-3,330 ft), where light begins to dwindle. And much like that of the TV show, the ocean’s twilight zone is a “dimension of imagination” consisting “of both substance and shadow.”

Happy #TwilightZoneDay!

[Steph Jones @OceanStateSteph]

Manatees doing their part for the ecosystem; let's do our part for them #ManateeAppreciationDay #savethemanatee

[Red List of Ecosystems @redlisteco]

Manatees help prevent vegetation from overgrowing and they eat water hyacinth and other invasive species, improving the health of the ecosystem.

They are also important sources of fertilization for sea grasses and other submerged aquatic vegetation.
