Another great day exploring Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Multispectral Imagery (MSI) @esa Sentinel satellite imagery at the @AlanTuringInsti data study group to automatically detect and predict oil slicks from historic wrecks with @CefasGovUK #remotesensing #marinescience

🛳️🌊🧠Brilliant first day at a @AlanTuringInsti data study group! We’re tackling the automation of slick detection from historical #shipwrecks and predictive behavioural patterns from satellite imagery - a challenge led by @CefasGovUK. Exciting blend of #marinescience and #AI

Great to present some of the work I have done the last few few months at #GeoHab in Arendal, Norway 🇳🇴 on using #ai to automatically detect, measure and analyse underwater coarse #sediments to provide new insights into marine communities. @CefasGovUK #habitatmapping

Check out a new species of sea slug discovered by myself, @rbullimore, Peter Barry and @univcadiz on the #RVCefasEndeavour in the southwest of the UK. Its amazing new species can be found in highly studied areas, just imagine what is still out there! #seaslug #discovery

🥳 Cefas scientists and partners at @univcadiz have discovered a new species of side-gilled sea slug. Collected on a fisheries survey on the RV Endeavour, it's the first of its type to be found in UK waters! @rbullimore @Haydenclose @AWShips cefas.co.uk/news-and-resourc…

Lots of information gathered from many visits to #coral farms and #restoration projects showcasing how the mandated 10% of coral required for restocking on #artificialreefs can work. The sculptures are breathtaking in their own right! @CefasGovUK @TERANGI_ @IslaMacMillan

Colleagues from Cefas are currently in Indonesia as part of a new project with @TERANGI_ aimed at supporting the sustainable international trade of coral and coral reef conservation. @Haydenclose @IslaMacMillan We'll be sharing more from this project soon!

What an absolute privilege to see #orcas or #killerwhales in the UK, not the best footage and ran about 5km over ankle breaking ground as they were heading away from us. Just incredible #Shetland #whale
