Fantastic work by Prof Bill Austin and his co-authors. This adds to our knowledge of #bluecarbon in Scotland. Thanks to @ClimateXChange_ for guiding the process.

Vegetated #coastline, including #seagrass, #mangroves, and #saltmarsh, are under extreme pressure in Scotland and globally. New report from @univofstandrews on the potential for managed realignment to increase #bluecarbon is.gd/8YQUXt #ClimateEmergency #mitigation

New paper by our scientists found that 🏖️beaches in north east of Scotland were up to six times cleaner between 2019 and 2020. 80 beaches were surveyed and the litter weighed. Read the blog ➡️ bit.ly/beach_plastic Read📰bit.ly/Litter_Marine #RecyclingWeek #seatember

How much organic carbon is in the upper seabed layers of the Firth of Clyde? We mapped this along with a load of other properties - our paper is out now for open peer-review! Read the pre-print and also get some handy high-res seabed maps! @davemarinebio essd.copernicus.org/preprint…

Yes. First really practical way of moving forward. Love how they brought everybody along with them with voting.

The approach taken by LOCEAN to adopt 3 measures to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 is great to see. Really keen to see if we can explore some of this more in our organisations and community @marinescotland @mastscot @challengersoc @BillTurrell1 @OCSAM_Scot

The Scottish Coastal Observatory is making a significant contribution to coastal marine policy & science 🌊🔬🦠 Check out this short clip to see how 👉 #NationalMarineWeek #YCW2020 #SCObs @mastscot @marinestation @FSC_Millport @nature_scot @GreenerScotland @ScotEnvironment

Scottish Coastal Observatory (SCObs)

This video highlights just some of the work undertaken by the SCObs. SCObs colleagues collect data to understand the impacts of climate change and ocean acidification on the marine ecosystem.

I’m half way through my Winter beach surveys of #marinelitter it’s been a bit breezy at times, lots of litter, some quiet empty stretches of sand & a bonus #skate #eggcase for my elasmo work 👍 @BillTurrell1 @mcsuk @SharkTrustUK

Interesting find, but perhaps two events are being muddled up? There was a gala duck race in 2015 in Newburgh - but it was in the Foveran Burn, all ducks were returned safe, and none had those markings? Perhaps these were released more recently?

Yes! way back in 2015. >90 in a river that is protected for it's rare ducks! xitter.cf/AllLittleFishes/status… I think it was accidental but shows how long plastic hangs around. There's a project here if we could find how many were released and track them. #plastic #marineplasstic
Really interesting find Lauren. There is a lot of sand erosion underway in the last few weeks of storms. I wonder if these were "archived" by being buried in the dunes? A great find though ! I started in Marine Scotland in 1986, and I look just as crinkly as the crisp packet.
🦈 Dr. Lauren Smith@SaltwaterlifeUK12 Dec 2019
Wow! I found these ‘vintage’ #crisp packets at the #YthanEstuary today! @GoldenWonderUK could you give me an idea of the yr when I could have sent off for the free tights & colour film? 😂 In 1986 with Smiths @PepsiCo you could get a cool @davidkidjensen cassette!
