[Heather Koldewey @HeatherKoldewey]

Fantastic presentation by @JessicaMeeuwig @countingfishes @meeuwiglab on the Global Ocean Wildlife Analysis Network with @ukgovbluebelt. Simple, cost effective, with research questions designed by users to help MPA management. Plus some very cool videos! #smallislandsbigimpact

[Ascension Island MPA @AscensionMPA]

Our Director of Conservation and Fisheries, Dr Dee Baum, giving a talk on Ascension's MPA at @ukgovbluebelt for #worldoceanday!

[Blue Belt Programme @ukgovbluebelt]

We’ve loved hearing from some fantastic speakers this morning during session 1 on the important work taking place in the UKOTs #SmallIslandBigImpact #UKOT #WorldOceanDay 🌊 https://t.co/OvoySj2W4D

@countingfishes spent last week with the @doecayman team deploying mid-water, seabed and mesophotic #BRUVS in the #CaymanIslands as part of @UKgovbluebelt #GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork. Look forward to seeing the range of fish across the three habitats! #Bluebelt

[Blue Abacus @countingfishes]

The @meeuwiglab just finished up our #oceanwildlife surveys using mid-water #BRUVS from @countingfishes at the Geographe Bay and Southwest Corner Marine Parks @Parks_Australia. 200 deployments in 10 days with hectic weather, supported by #LeeuwinMarineCharters #BlueAbacus

[Blue Abacus @countingfishes]

To the women working with the lab: Jenny, Abi and Maicey, we look forward to watching your journeys. To @countingfishes who keeps science going & thank you to the wonderful men in our lab who contribute to ocean conservation whilst supporting a safe and equitable space for women.

[Blue Abacus @countingfishes]

... Hanna Jabour Christ who completed a 1st class honours on functional ecology of pelagic species … watch this space for the paper. @Shona__Murray who has progressed her PhD whilst COVID-stuck in the UK and still continues her work on IUCN Vulnerable silky sharks.

[Blue Abacus @countingfishes]

@heikri1 who is putting a lens on Indian Ocean tuna fisheries and @Vania _andreoli who is driving the conversation on nutrient equity @LincolnHood who is teasing out the impacts of noise on fish

[Blue Abacus @countingfishes]

On #InternationalWomensDay the Marine Futures Lab would like to celebrate the achievements of our women researchers contributing to ocean conservation. @BiolSci_UWA
...@NaimasOcean who published on endangered hammerheads and media raises attention on protection.

[Blue Abacus @countingfishes]

So good to see the #CoP26 announcement of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor #CMAR marine park. It will protect an ocean highway across the ocean territories of Columbia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Panama. We continue to deploy our #BRUVS across the region @NG_PristineSeas

[Blue Belt Programme @ukgovbluebelt]

Yesterday Ascension Island & St Helena's #BRUVS were packed up and sent ready for loading onto #DY143!

PhD student @Shona__Murray will be onboard the #DY143 expedition and helping deploy these pieces of kit around the OTs. 🐬🦈🐠

#GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork

[Blue Belt Programme @ukgovbluebelt]

Want to know how technology is supporting Tristan da Cunha's Areas To Be Avoided?Satellite,NovaSAR-1, visible infrared imaging radiometer suites & the Blue Belt Shared Intelligence Hub (BBSIH) are working to minimise risks from maritime accidents: https://t.co/OOOCCLAf2z @GO_ASHT

[Blue Belt Programme @ukgovbluebelt]

Our #GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork is building understanding of both pelagic and benthic habitats around 10 #UKOTs.

Footage like this from #Montserrat will help inform protective and management measures into the future. #WorldHabitatDay @countingfishes
