You know your job is excitingly global when the iPhone won't let you add a location to the World Clock unless you delete one... and you can't! @projectseahorse @IUCNSeahorse @SSCmarine

A special shout out to @jr_guest @golbuu @PICRCPalau @Coralassist_Lab on #WorldOceansDay to thank them for hosting the inimitable @DivingMsDaisy and making her one of your own! What a fabulous learning experience-so much great coral science! @UVicScience @world_at_uvic @UVic
So grateful to @PICRCPalau and the people of Palau or letting us work on their incredible reefs…and to this good-looking bunch of legends for welcoming me onto the team @Coralassist_Lab @LeverhulmeTrust

Advice from @SeabirdCentre:
"Please do not touch dead or injured birds.
If you come across an injured or ill seabird please contact SSPCA: 03000 999 999
Please report dead birds to DEFRA: 03459 33 55 77"
We’ve had several reports of dead or injured #gannets in #EastLothian today. This may be a natural event but due to the current outbreak of avian flu at Shetland seabird colonies, the situation is being closely monitored by @NatureScot and Government.

Fantastic presentation by @JessicaMeeuwig @countingfishes @meeuwiglab on the Global Ocean Wildlife Analysis Network with @ukgovbluebelt. Simple, cost effective, with research questions designed by users to help MPA management. Plus some very cool videos! #smallislandsbigimpact

Yesterday Ascension Island & St Helena's #BRUVS were packed up and sent ready for loading onto #DY143!
PhD student @Shona__Murray will be onboard the #DY143 expedition and helping deploy these pieces of kit around the OTs. 🐬🦈🐠
#GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork
The #GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork is a series of #BRUVS across 10 #UKOTs incl: Pitcairn, Ascension, St Helena, Tristan da Cunha, BIOT & BAT.
The network will collect vital information on marine life and support OTs to grow understanding of their marine environment #COP26

Our #GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork is building understanding of both pelagic and benthic habitats around 10 #UKOTs.
Footage like this from #Montserrat will help inform protective and management measures into the future. #WorldHabitatDay @countingfishes

The @ukgovbluebelt science expedition to #Pitcairn is now well underway!
The team of local residents are collecting data on the health of Pitcairn's Marine Protected Area - check out some of the amazing marine life they've already encountered ⤵️

BRUVS #GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork @ukgovbluebelt always brighten up your day. Some more amazing images (humpback whale & moray eel) from the survey around the outer Islands of Pitcairn being undertaken by @PulauResidence I hope the sea conditions have improved🌊🌊🌊
