Check out our Dried kelp fertilizer on eBay. Made with 100% sustainably farmed Scottish kelp. This is the time of year to put seaweed on your garden 💚🌱! . 1kg dry kelp = 10kg wet seaweed once mixed into your soil. https://t.co/TXcxfxB66u #eBay via @eBay_UK

Folk of #skye and #lochalsh, #highlands, see website to advertise local #shellfish sales in the area: https://t.co/5zvI1d1VzA. It's free for fishers to put up a notice. Your support will help keep their businesses afloat. Many can deliver. Social distancing applied at quayside.

@gwcarpenter 🤣I've only just seen that cover! Poor bird looks a bit disgruntled and ruffled - much like I feel after the wettest January in the NW Scotland that I can remember.

@DanSmale1 How many weeks/months old are your little babies? Very exciting 😁!

@ttnthane Hi @ttnthane I’ve not managed to put any of them online yet, but will try write a brief blog at some point. This wasn’t really a research project, but an attempt to document the personalities & working lives of local fishers...some who I’ve also worked with on fisheries projects.

[Kyla Orr @OrrKyla]

Finally received my #photography higher project back from examiners, documenting local #fishermen at work in #scotland - it was a tough project to juggle with science day job & parenting, but so worth it. Big thanks to all those fishers who let me ‘shoot them’.

@wilsonjaredm @MarPAMM_project @marinescotland That should be entered into a caption competition 😂

@Abby_R_Gilson @AcademicChatter Some of the happiest years of my life were in Rhodes Uni marine biol dept. I hope you get to do some good field work!

@BD_Stew @LochfyneLangous Ah right, I thought it was a result from a wider study. Thanks for clarifying 👍 I’d imagine that slide led to some debate in the room & would be interesting to hear what factors influence people’s answer to the question.

[Kyla Orr @OrrKyla]

@BD_Stew Really interesting - did you look into how attitudes differ according to devolved administration, or according to fishery/gear type of respondents?

[Kyla Orr @OrrKyla]

Always so important to read about how other countries manage their #fisheries to see what lessons can be learnt. Toady I'm learning about #Norway and #seaweed harvesting & collaboration between industry, research and nature conservation to develop Seaweed Management Plans #kelp

[D Smale @DanSmale1]

Apparently its #WorldHabitatDay so here's an obligatory tweet about #kelp forests which are VERY IMPORTANT marine habitats (found along ~25% of world's coastlines/high biodiversity/v high carbon uptake&transfer/ coastal defence/etc) #stillnokelpemoji #WorldHabitatDay2019

Today we’re launching a consultation on Scotland’s first-ever deep sea marine reserve: https://t.co/oUaJ4XFQWN Take a look at the diverse underwater landscape on this video clip: https://t.co/lcZZ8GYdoy @GreenerScotland @MairiGougeon @JNCC_UK @ScotEnvironment @OCSAM_Scot

On train just heading over Montrose estuary /basin at sunrise: the bird life is amazing!! Literally thousands of waders/shorebirds gathering. Migration season starting - wishing these little winged fellas luck on their massive journeys ahead @RSPBScotland

[Kyla Orr @OrrKyla]

I just watched @scotrail staff empty contents of ALL these so called ‘recycling’ bins into ONE bag 😱 including general waste. Why separate our rubbish in the first place? So infuriating and saddening @NetworkRailSCOT Pure and depressing ‘greenwashing’ 😔

[Kyla Orr @OrrKyla]

Managed to get whole family to #ClimateStrike by bike yesterday - 16 mile round trip over big hills, the oldest was 80 and the youngest 3 yrs. Seemed ironic to drive there 🙄 but for many it’s the only way in rural areas. Get on your #bicycles if you can folks! @GretaThunberg
