Researchers with @PlymUni are warning that #climatechange, rising temperatures and shifting ocean chemistry are threatening species like the critically endangered whitefin swellshark. If changes aren’t made, the species could become extinct. https://t.co/g7aeCL8KnI

In our latest Article Spotlight ‘Future climate-driven habitat loss and range shift of the Critically Endangered #whitefin #swellshark’ watch an interview with author Kerry Brown, @PlymUni

Congratulations to our new School of Biological and Marine Sciences graduates!

Today I got to present my undergraduate research at the Faculty of Science and Engineering Postgraduate Research Showcase @PlymUni

Looking forward to doing it all again tomorrow!

The Indonesian government granted 6 species of threatened “walking sharks” the highest level of protection across all national waters — a move experts hope will lead to the conservation of other sharks. https://t.co/AyHaaOJQk2

Plus what I believe is a Thornback Ray (Raja clavata) egg case!

Was excited to find some Smallspotted Catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula) egg cases (or mermaid’s purses) at todays beach clean 🦈🧜🏼‍♀️

Might not be in Sweden right now but I have really enjoyed my alternative, learning how to use #BIIGLE to analyse stills taken from ROV footage 🪸🐠. Even more exciting to spot some Chimaeras, a close relative to sharks, yay! Thanks @DeepSeaEcol for all the help. @PlymUni #MBIO

[Scientific American @sciam]

Scientists partnered with tiger sharks to map seagrass—the unsung hero of ocean conservation. Listen to this episode of "Science, Quickly" to learn more.

Last day of boat week. One of the specimens we identified from our grab samples was a trumpet worm (Lagis koreni). These worms use tiny grains of sand and shell fragments to skilfully build these amazing intricate tubes @PlymUni #MarineBiology #PlymMBIO #MBO #OceanScience #Marine

[Kerry 🦈 @okerrybrown]

This was such an interesting read 🦈

[Dr. Neil Hammerschlag @DrNeilHammer]

The first of its kind, the BATs successfully documented the location and timing of birth in these wild sharks. This new tech will be especially valuable for threatened and endangered shark species, where protection of pupping and nursery grounds are a conservation priority.

Day 3 of boat week. Spent the morning on @RVFalconSpirit using the ROV. Safe to say I need to practice my ROV “driving” skills but I did manage to find a spider crab (Maja brachydactyla) 🦀 @PlymUni @oceansciencetec #plyMBIO #MBO #MarineBiology #MarineScience #ROV #Oceanography

First day of boat week done. Got to spend the afternoon on @RVFalconSpirit collecting grab samples using the Van Veen grab and the box corer. 🐚 @PlymUni @oceansciencetec #PlyMBIO #MarineBiology #Oceanography #Oceanscience
