@SophiaGardens When will it be decided whether it'll go ahead or not?

@marvel_matt @CRUKresearch Congrats on the new post mate!

[Welsh Government Climate Change @WGClimateChange]

Celebrating women in science 🧬 on international women’s day. @ProjectSeagrass marine botanists are growing sea grass to restore vital marine habitats #IWD2024 #InternationalWomenDay #InspiringInclusion

Great opportunity for anyone interested in restoring #saltmarsh #seagrass, #kelp native #oyster (or any other estuarine and coastal habitats!) to connect at the #ReMeMaRe23 conference.

Follow @CF_Conf for more information!

Great opportunity to join this fantastic project if you're up North #sharks

[All The Elements @alltheelements_]

Are you based in North Wales?

@ProjectSIARC are hiring a Local Community Organiser.

Working closely and learning from local communities and practitioners in Wales to help diversify opportunities for involvement in marine conservation.

Sounds like the sort of thing we used to chat about @CardiffGirl79 - be great if this highlights some of the rich marine biodiversity in Welsh waters!

Great to see these published - hopefully will help expand the uptake of of DNA metabarcoding in benthic monitoring 🧬🦀

[NE Chief Scientist @NEChiefSci]

Are you thinking about DNA and benthic sampling this field season?

Working with @JNCC_UK we have published a review & protocol for benthic sampling for DNA metabarcoding (which can be applied alongside existing sediment sampling approaches).

[Mike Nelson @thenelsonway]

@evaegelyng We ran a workshop at @JNCC_UK a couple of years back to do something similar and look at the barriers to the uptake of eDNA methods in benthic monitoring. An action plan was produced off the back of it which would be interesting to compare!

[Cardiff Curator @CardiffCurator]

Our Curator's Choice for specimen of the day for #NationalMarineWeek is the Thumbnail crab, Thia scutellata, which gets its name from the carapace which is said to resemble a thumbnail! 👍

[Mike Nelson @thenelsonway]

Come work with us! We've got an opening for an Advisor to focus on natural capital in estuarine and coastal habitats.

If you're into the brackish and the briny and want to play a key role in the development of a major new programme, give it a look!

Awesome photo! 📸

[Project Seagrass @ProjectSeagrass]

🌱 Did you know that #seagrass meadows support 43%–64% more species than unvegetated habitats?

🐠 Restoring seagrass boosts #biodiversity and ocean health, it is critical that we protect these habitats

[Iveta Matejusova @IMatejusova]

Do you like to work with eDNA to monitor biodiversity in aquatic environment? If yes, you have 10 more days to apply for this vacancy in our lab in Aberdeen. #eDNA

[Mike Nelson @thenelsonway]

@Newells_en Do you know where we can see the full interview?!

[Welsh Government Rural Affairs @WGRural]

News 🗞️

In a UK first, all of Wales’ licensed commercial #fishing boats must now be fitted with a Vessel Monitoring System.

This will give us a fuller picture of fishing in Wales; what is being caught and where it is taking place.

Great opportunity going at JNCC if you’re into marine ecology!

High tides are expected across the North West coast today and into tomorrow

Please avoid promenades & coastal footpaths as large waves & sea spray can be dangerous
