Listen to marine geoscientist @nikkidakin on @BBCNorfolk talk about mapping the seabed and discovering things we've never seen before.

This work will greatly benefit environmental efforts, from impact assessments to wildlife conservation.

For the first time in 25 years, new geological data has been used to create an offshore East Anglia fine-scale map.

It will help in the hunt for new renewable energy opportunities whilst protecting delicate marine ecosystems.

[Catriona Macdonald @catmac_94]

We're back in #Ascension and just completed our first full day of drop camera sampling. Few teething issues that we've now solved, and we managed 6 transects. Lots of turtles around and it's very hot 🐢☀️

[Ascension Conservation @AIGConservation]

Last Nov, the @BritGeoSurvey began mapping the inshore waters around Ascension.

The duo will arrive for part 2 of the project later this week, grouth-truthing their findings using high-tech camera equipment.

Join them on 25th Jan to find out exactly what they've been up!
