#spongethursday #SeaRover2019 Here is a closer look at Hyalonema the tulip sponge and its glass roots <insert pun here> (those are zoanthid anemones up the stem) @MarineInst @EU_MARE @npwsBioData @agriculture_ie @Dept_CCAE @PlymUniMI @DeepSeaCRU

“There’s not much more to life than Ducks and Capybaras” 💕
I’ve just been informed by @ReganDrennan there is an area of the internet dedicated to Capybaras enjoying being surrounded by other animals. This has made my day. Two of my favourite animals feature in this one:

In case you missed it, check out our latest paper on how artificial intelligence (AI) could help us speed up the rate at which we gather knowledge of the #deepsea and #highseas https://t.co/7dC7UcNrzd @NERCscience @DeepSeaCRU @deepseaecol @NPiechaud

Artificial intelligence (AI) could help scientists shed new light on the variety of species living on the ocean floor.

Hi folks, again we are having discussion around what to call our ship-based field work. Place your vote now.

Great presentation by @herre_san on work to model population connectivity of corals on the Gulf of Mexico. Larvae staying at depth of release. Similar observation to @_deeplinks

[Rebecca Ross @DeepSeaBex]

@DeepSeaEcol (head of @DeepSeaCRU) presenting @_deeplinks modelling results: ~50% Lophelia larvae settle in depth band of origin and bathyal peak in escapees from seamount. Better escape if passive, better depth mixing if swimming. Will compare to genetics soon. #DSBS2018

@nicola_foster - checking how many images you need to analyse and how often to adequately represent community. Depends on substrate and different intervals sample either alpha or beta diversity. Must ensure adequate transect length! #DSBS2018 @DeepSeaCRU @_deeplinks

And then this beautiful Mora moro swam by! #deeplinks #deepsea

Came across this guy on the video transect at 800m today! Just chillin’ 😎 #deeplinks #deepsea

Footage from our #DeepLinks research cruise shows some of the amazing life found in the Anton Dohrn Seamount #MarineProtectedArea just off the coast of the UK #deepsea https://t.co/Uv36zgLSAB

230km west of the Outer Hebrides is an underwater extinct volcano, the Anton Dohrn Seamount #MarineProtectedAreas . Home to wonderful corals and sponges and sadly also a crisp packet – 2000m down! @Oceanwarrior @Deeplinks #breakfreefromplastic https://t.co/7SwfDgEqXq

With 10 #MarineProtectedAreas, Atlantic North-West Approaches protect some of the UKs highest underwater mountains, alien-like #deepsea creatures & examples of cold-water #coral #reefs found nowhere else in the world! https://t.co/mfgqwRt59B @marinescotland @_deeplinks @NOCnews

This #WorldOceansDay explore the #MarineProtectedArea cycle from concept to protection, with a lot of water in between! Learn how we collect #data & work with partner orgs, govs & industry towards a healthy sustainable marine environment. View in full @ https://t.co/JJwUzk8Cyn

Yeah Sure #shrunkencupoff is all nice and well but what about #shrunkenpenguinoff? #jc136 @_deeplinks (uncoloured penguin is unshrunken)

[Marine Institute @PlymUniMI]

Our @DeepSeaCRU researchers are working with @JNCC_UK and other partners in the @_deeplinks project to help protect the amazing diversity of life in the UK's deep ocean #WorldOceansDay2018 https://t.co/VRpR3LcycC

The Southern #NorthSea is important for both man & beast! It provides food for #seabirds, seals & harbour porpoise, as well as supporting EU #fishing fleets & is a source of #oilandgas for the UK. View the full video on #MPAs located there at https://t.co/Unr1NDeHkY @CefasGovUK

#ThursdayThoughts~10,000 years ago you could have visited Europe from the UK by foot when Dogger Bank #MPA was dry land! Now submerged, the UK’s largest sandbank gives protection to habitats which support a rich variety of #MarineLife #NorthSea https://t.co/QYzHSJi2G8 @CefasGovUK
