It was a beautiful day at sea as the many smiles would attest, but down below, a different story. Huge surge and 11ºC bottom water made for interesting diving. 2nd ADCP could not be found due to poor viz and thumping currents which hopefully will reflect in the data! 🤞

[SMCRI🇿🇦 @SMCRI_ZA]

It's a beautiful day for #marinescience in Algoa Bay. #SMCRI have two teams out at sea. One team carrying out the monthly Pelagic Long-Term Ecosystem Research (PELTER) sampling, including two future scientists, & the other diving to service ADCP moorings.

#ourheroicocean holds 60x more carbon than the atmosphere & absorbs ~30% of our CO₂ emissions. We know it acts as a thermostat for our climate, but what controls the dial? It could all hinge on tiny marine animals at the base of the ocean food chain... https://t.co/KJUNwQDiZj

Exciting new Postdoc position available at SANBI for someone wanting to make a meaningful contribution to mapping the marine environment and biodiversity in South Africa: Pelagic Ecosystem Classification https://t.co/ZRYCDsHxpr

The inshore plankton off Plymouth has been teeming with copepods, which is ideal for fish larvae. Most fish lay eggs that float among the plankton so when the fish larvae hatch they are surrounded by lots of food.

.@ladyZooplankton et al. find that #Salps (#plankton) alter microbial communities and quintuple the flux of sinking particles from the surface to the deep, strongly enhancing the ocean's ability to sequester #CO2 @Decimalab @Scripps_Ocean @niwa_nz https://t.co/WnkiyqMd9G

Scientists spend too much time taking “professional selfies”.

A paper from PNAS describes what it takes to be a scientist today. Key points (that I always emphasize myself):

Our latest paper and the first from Mfundo Bizani's recently concluded PhD study on coastal zooplankton in Algoa Bay. Immensely proud supervisor. #ABSS #PELTER

Our recent publication on the response of zooplankton to a large-scale harmful algal bloom (HAB) caused by a non-indigenous dinoflagellate Lingulodinium polyedra. @Saeonews @SMCRI_ZA link below. You can download it for free until the 17th February

Today, the sea was boiling with bluefin tuna and the sky was raining gannets. All feeding on plankton eating bait fish (probably pilchards) in turn feeding on the vibrant autumn plankton in this video. The marine food web from top to bottom. @zeiss_micro

@SeascapeEcolSA @ThembaniMkhize_ @MandelaUni Congratulations @ThembaniMkhize_ and team!

Phytoplankton is stunning. This is the diatom Coscinodiscus wailesii, a single cell just 200 µm diameter encased in glass. Microscopic, marine solar cells @zeiss_micro

If you're at the #WSF_ZA2022 come & visit exhibit our exhibit (No. 107), so we can tell all about #SMCRI.

A component of @Saeonews and @SMCRI_ZA Estuaries LTER Network, monitoring sediment levels. Will our estuaries keep pace with SLR? Sediment accretion rates may give answers. Windy day in the field for the SAEON crew - still beats a day in the office!

[Athi Mfikili (PhD) @athimfikili]

Our new Rod Surface Elevation Table instrument worked beyond our expectations at Swartkops Estuary during our #LTER monitoring, as we continue to monitor the response of our coastal salt marshes to predicted global rising sea-level. @NRF_News @Saeonews @SMCRI_ZA
