Always glorious to do #MarClim surveys on the Farnes with my old mate Catherine Scott from @naturalengland.bsky.social & catch up with the @nationaltrust.org.uk rangers @thembauk.bsky.social @livuniresearch.bsky.social

Local knowledge from people spending decades lobster potting and volunteering with the Staithes & Runswick RNLI rnli.org/find-my-near... is invaluable to supplement the annual @marclim-uk.bsky.social surveys @naturalengland.bsky.social @thembauk.bsky.social @livuniresearch.bsky.social

Stunning kelp @ Filey Brigg but no A. esculenta & L. digitata has massively declined, echoing data from around England. Our @MarClim_UK multidecadal timeseries tracks the decline of some kelp species due to #climatechange @naturalengland.bsky.social @thembauk.bsky.social @livuniresearch.bsky.social

Always a pleasure to do MarClim surveys with the @NaturalResourcesWales Skomer MCZ team. Experienced surveyors & dedicated conservationists @thembauk.bsky.social @livuniresearch.bsky.social

No complaints about being on the shore at 05:00hrs this morning for a @MarClim survey for Natural Resources Wales. @thembauk.bsky.social @livuniresearch.bsky.social

Fabulous to see how much interest Tom Williamson's PhD research is attracting @livuniresearch.bsky.social We've investigated the negative impacts of rearing embryonic Nucella lapillus in artificial seawater. @thembauk.bsky.social

Louise Rutterford @cefasgovuk.bsky.social presenting the Marine Warming Pathways project including work I led on biological datasets 👍🏼

Fabulous to hear research updates from across the marine realm at the South West Marine Ecosystems conference & catch up with long-term scientific friends @anaturalstate.bsky.social @thembauk.bsky.social @naturalengland.bsky.social @livuniresearch.bsky.social

The coast is crawling with them! 🦀 Clibanaruis erythropus populations have shown large increases at MarClim time-series sites in south Cornwall since 2025 @thembauk.bsky.social @livuniresearch.bsky.social

Small but dazzling, the limpet Patella pellucida has neon blue stripes created by a complex photonic structure with layers of calcium carbonate crystals that reflect blue light. Lovely to find on MarClim surveys @thembauk.bsky.social @livuniresearch.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/nco...

Trained volunteers are the lifeblood of MarClim @thembauk.bsky.social @livuniresearch.bsky.social @naturalengland.bsky.social

Tom's first publication from his PhD and a great review of substrate-borne vibration on embryonic and newly hatched marine invertebrates file:///Users/novamieszkowska/Downloads/978-3-031-94229-7_220-2.pdf @livuniresearch.bsky.social @thembauk.bsky.social

Another glorious MarClim survey, this time at Trevone with @naturalengland.bsky.social staff & some gorgeous Onchidella celtica @thembauk.bsky.social @livuniresearch.bsky.social

Lovely to catch up with my ex-student from @livuniresearch.bsky.social and a CoCoast Project team member, both now working for @naturalengland.bsky.social on today's MarClim survey at Prawle Point @thembauk.bsky.social

We are celebrating the 142nd birthday of the Marine Biological Association @thembauk.bsky.social by doing a MarClim survey at Looe with @naturalengland.bsky.social staff Esther Hughes.

Aulactinia verrucosa, Anemonia viridis, and Actiinia fragacea out at Portland Bill on today's @MarClim_UK survey @thembauk.bsky.social @livuniresearch.bsky.social @naturalengland.bsky.social

A glorious day to be on the shore doing @MarClim_UK surveys with @naturalengland.bsky.social staff in Dorset @thembauk.bsky.social @livuniresearch.bsky.social

Back out on the Dee deploying refuges to study Eriocheir sinensis, thr invasive Chinese mitten crab with dissertation students from University of Liverpool & Natural Resources Wales @natreswales.bsky.social @livuniresearch.bsky.social @thembauk.bsky.social

Trained volunteers are crucial to the continuation of the @thembauk.bsky.social @MarClim_uk project. They come out whatever the weather & give invaluable assistance @naturalengland.bsky.social @livuniresearch.bsky.social

Downloaded & reset the Envloggers as well as doing MarClim surveys at Goury & Barfleur on the Cotenin Peninsula @thembauk.bsky.social @fplima.bsky.social @livuniresearch.bsky.social
