Celebrate the little wins 🤩 Producing magnetite nanoparticles at home for my masters project has been a rollercoaster, but I have finally nailed it! 🧲 Now to see if metals can be recovered from wood ash (from my garden fire🔥 ) using these tiny particles!

Whaley sad to see that this happens in my country!

The effects of plastic and fishing propagate trough the entire marine system and can be felt worldwide!!

Boobies may strut their stuff but as their offspring grow, they partake in siblicide, wherein the stronger of their children will kill the weaker child!

Blue-footed boobies are known for their courtship behaviors, where males dance very specific movements to attract females. Learn more in our Marine Life Encyclopedia: https://t.co/lxCROkTo35

Lovely to see a glacier named after our Professor!

Unfortunately ice sheet melting creates a positive feedback loop in which there is a reduced albedo effect, increasing ice sheet melt and disrupting the Antarctic Bottom Water circulation.

A funny timeline of the sad truth #marenvs19

[Rachel Fish(wo)man @rach_fishman]

"In Japan many people genuinely do not understand the outside world's obsession with them catching whales".

The de-sea-sion to restart traditional whaling highly conflicts with the consensus that whales will go extinct if it continues.

Today the GBR's long-term outlook was downgraded from poor to very poor and efforts to manage climate change impacts on the reef are "less effective in achieving desired outcomes" (https://t.co/L2SV42icd3)

This is kind of very very bad so refer to gif below for :)

This is a turtley good move from CITES

#marenvs19

[WWF International media team @wwf_media]

In an unexpected move at #CITESCoP18, the committee decided to write and adopt stronger decisions on illegal marine turtle trade now, instead of 2022.
