Tomopteris is a genus of marine pelagic polychaete worm, which spend its entire life in the plankton. Identify them by a pair of long chaetae (stiff hairs) either side of the head; a pair of simple eyes & by their branched parapodia (feet) that lack chaetae #planktonIDtips

[Cefas @CefasGovUK]

Nathan explains how we and our partners use hydrophones deployed from vessels like RV Cefas Endeavour to record underwater noise

[Cefas @CefasGovUK]

Sound underwater travels further and faster than in air - ships could be heard 10~15km away!

[Cefas @CefasGovUK]

The team compared noise recording to shipping activities to reveal hotspots of shipping noise, particularly in the English Channel and off the East Coast.

[Cefas @CefasGovUK]

Tune in to @BBCOne's Inside Out show tonight at 7.30pm to learn how underwater shipping noise is affecting the UK’s marine life with @david_insideout & @CefasGovUK ’s Nathan Merchant @DefraGovUK @CefasNoise #underwaternoise #noisemap
