A beautiful Saturday spent at Wembury training with @DevonWildlife to become a South Devon representative of the Marine Stranding Network. Big thank you to @WemburyMarine for delivering such an interesting and informative course highlighting the importance of strandings data! 🦭

Have you spotted the new Living Seawall panels at Plymouth Barbican?

These panels are designed to increase habitat complexity and biodiversity by mimicking the structure of natural shorelines.

Project led by @PlymUni together with support from organisations across the world!

Fascinating paper published today, describing potential cultural adaptation by sperm whales to threats from whaling vessels in 19th century. Profound implications for whales and the myriad pressures they face in the modern world https://t.co/w6cX95maXA

A great article on the role biodiversity plays in disease prevention. 🌿 It’s really interesting to try to understand the impact biodiversity has in the prevention of future pandemics, especially since I’m completing my biodiversity module from home! https://t.co/Fjuk1Fjq7G

@Marine_nineteen and I spent our Friday celebrating the end of exams rockpooling at @WemburyMarine! So interesting to see how much season impacts the organisms found, such a difference compared to last time! A personal favourite was the spiny starfish (Marthasterias glacialis) ⭐️

Celebrating the end of exam season with some rockpooling at Wembury!

Findings include Strawberry Anemone (Actinia fragacea), Cornish Sucker Fish (Lepadogaster purpurea), and an amazing Spiny Starfish (Marthasterias glacialis)

On Wednesday @StormMcclements, @laura_paling, and I were so lucky to meet the local diving legend Ray Ives, and get shown around his diving museum. Such an amazing place full of all sorts of treasure, and Ray is such an amazing character aswell!

[Alice Broaders @Marine_nineteen]

So many amazing opportunities provided in the South West for all things marine - bought my tickets for @ConChatUK's Blue Shark and Marine mammal talks coming up - so excited!!

Field week day 5!
Being an organism on the rocky shore can be quite stressful, today we found out being a marine biology student on the rocky shore with the uncertainty on the great British weather can be pretty stressful too! Blue skies to torrential rain in minutes! #PlyMBIO
