#PlymMBIO #seagrass #Smithsonian Missing conducting investigations like this sea grass grazing assay on Little Cayman 🇰🇾. Unfortunately we didn’t sea any turtles feeding but instead saw this cool Sphyraena barracuda

Cold but gorgeous day for a rocky shore practical at Mountbatten #Plymouth with 1st year #marinebiology #MarineEcology & #oceanography students @PlymUni @MBERC_PlymUni

Brrr...Cold day rock pooling at Mt Batten! ❄
Was a brilliant day, Investigating how the diversity of phyla and gastropod species change in relation to shore height.

Evidence shows that Plymouth is naturally beautiful! #sunset_pics #photography #pictureplymouth

Interesting to see NOAA providing Halloween costumes this year! (Enypniasties eximia)

Marine life living along natural pH gradients can help us predict effects of ocean acidification https://t.co/iSpAtiy2IB @PlymUniMI @DFO_MAR @Havforskningen

#PlymMBIO #Reefrestoration #coral #outpalnt I couldn’t of been more grateful to of had the opportunity to help with the pilot out planting project of staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis) with CCMI on Little Cayman, it was amazing to see and help with, thanks!

Rubbish, can be found in great masses in the ocean trapped in 5 different subtropical gyres across the world.

(Sub tropical gyres act like a ring shaped conveyor belt of ocean currents, concentrating plastic in our oceans #plasticpollution) 

How might we clean it up?

#PlyMBIO #seagrass #Smithsonian 1,500 hand drilled holes later...the 50 Seagrass cages where ready to be set up on site. Seagrass meadows only over 0.1% of the sea floor but have 12% of all trapped oceanic carbon. Very important!

#PlymMBIO Investigating the impact of predation and climate on turtle grass (Thalassia) growth rates. Did you know, annually Seagrass’s are responsible for the removal of approximately 83 million tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
