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

@countingfishes spent last week with the @doecayman team deploying mid-water, seabed and mesophotic #BRUVS in the #CaymanIslands as part of @UKgovbluebelt #GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork. Look forward to seeing the range of fish across the three habitats! #Bluebelt

So good to see the #CoP26 announcement of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor #CMAR marine park. It will protect an ocean highway across the ocean territories of Columbia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Panama. We continue to deploy our #BRUVS across the region @NG_PristineSeas

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. 🐬🦈🐠

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
