A brilliant, informative and thought provoking day of films and discussion. Thank you @harbourbirds, @SIBirdClub and all the speakers.

Fantastic to be able to see the female Osprey CJ7 live during the talk on the Osprey program in Poole as part of the #rewilding and reintroduction summit. So wonderful to have these awesome birds on my doorstep. @harbourbirds

Fantastic work being done at the Knepp Estate. #rewilding yields wonderful results and an insight into what our landscape looked like in the past. When left to it's own devices nature can flourish. I can't wait to visit for myself.

Looking forward to learning all about #rewilding today with @harbourbirds and @SIBirdClub

Very pleased to announce the publication of my first journal article in @PolicyMarine. Analysing the effectiveness of #VMS at quantifying #fishing activity for near inshore fisheries within an #MPA & how this could help inform #fisheriesmanagement.

There are 1500 active volcanoes on Earth providing vital resources for life to exist. The animals that utilise & survive in these environments are amazing, from Vampire finches to nesting flamingos, land iguanas to bears and giant tortoises.

Thank you @galapagossip @MontyHalls @y_kakabadse @JohnSchofYork and Johnathan Green for a wonderfully informative evening discussing issues of industrial fishing fleets, marine plastics and whale shark tagging. Important work going on to help protect this miraculous place.

Ready for an evening of great speakers and interesting conversation on the Galapagos Islands, I can't wait to be there again one day!

It is currently legal to import 20kg of shark fin in to the UK, that is equivalent to 7 dead sharks!! Please help a ban on shark fin imports get debated at Parliament by signing the petition
