If there are any UK marine peeps left on here, and you belong to an underrepresented group in the UK, please complete this important survey being conducted on an inclusive future for our seas. And share widely even if you're not! lnkd.in/eZUqx_R6

COMPETITION TIME!!!
To be in with a chance of winning this lovely Androgynoceras Ammonite from Charmouth, all you have to do is RETWEET this tweet and make sure you’re FOLLOWING me! Winner announced this Sunday evening around 7pm. Good luck 🤞
Amazing model from @Nautical_Neil. Anyone who has been to #TristanDaCunha knows how unbelievably windy it is, and how hard it would have been to fly a small drone in these conditions. Important work for the safety and wellbeing of the islanders.
Pleased to share our final @dji #drone mapping area from our #TristanMapping #landslides project, just south of Jenny's Watron on #TristandaCunha. Steep terrain & slim weather windows meant challenging flying conditions. So how did we create this and what does it show....?🧵
