Wonderful to see a full house at yesterday's FISP conference and Ropes to Reefs workshop, & a fun party with ceilidh to celebrate our achievements!

An inspiring second and final day at #CoastalFutures25. Brilliant to be part of the @plymuni.bsky.social delegation for this conference, reconnecting with a lot of familiar faces and meeting lots of new people within the UK marine sector. Looking forward to next year already!

Great to be at the Royal Geographical Society in London for Coastal Futures 2025! Come and visit our stand if you are at the conference over the next couple of days to find out about our long-term monitoring research projects @plymuni.bsky.social @ahallmarine.bsky.social @rebeccanesbit.bsky.social

A very valuable experience at #EvidenceWeek connecting Parliamentarians, including Plymouth's own @lukepollard.bsky.social, with our long-term monitoring research on restorative offshore aquaculture. Thank you to everyone who stopped to speak to us @plymuni.bsky.social @senseaboutsci.bsky.social

Great to speak to academics from @plymuni.bsky.social who came into Parliament as part of Evidence Week I spoke to Dr Davies and Prof Smyth on the affects of underwater light pollution and learned about the UK's first offshore mussel farm from Dr Sheehan, Dr Mascorda-Cabre and Amy Cartwright

We're in Westminster for #EvidenceWeek! Yesterday we attended a reverse select committee with public questions on government use of evidence in decision making, tomorrow we will be talking to MPs about our offshore aquaculture research,exciting! @senseaboutsci.bsky.social @plymbiomarsci.bsky.social
