DASSH are particularly interested to receive (and able to publish) #Data that includes videos/images from drop down video surveys, ROVs or volunteer or amateur naturalist surveys 🐟 For details on how to submit data see buff.ly/4aEoaHC #MarineBiodiversity #MarineHabitats

The State of South-West Seas Report for 2023 buff.ly/3AfREPC suggests a possible increase in some 'valued' species such as the sunset coral. #Data at @NBNAtlas nbnatlas.org/ certainly shows higher occurences over the last decade which is great news!

Felix and her father Ashley were rockpooling near Wembury when they spotted this beautiful rainbow sea slug! It is believed to be the first time the animal has been recorded in Devon. 📷 Paul Naylor/marinephoto.co.uk (Felix's grandfather) #AmazingNature @wemburymarine

It's #FunFactFriday! Although #Jellyfish have no brain they do have sensory organs, maintaining their orientation with a specialised organ called a statocyst and sensing changes in light by using their ocelli! #UnderwaterWonders #Cnidarians #BarrelJellyfish
