Wonderful time helping out at @Seawilding’s WildSeas Weekend, displaying some of the PhD work happening at Loch Craignish Great to see people of all ages engrossed in the sounds of seagrass and oyster reefs (and colouring!) We also managed to squeeze in some sunny fieldwork ☀️

Hugeee thank you to these amazing people (and dog🐾) for helping with data collection and providing ample emotional support (alongside working on another exciting seagrass project !)

We also tapped into the underwater soundscape, taking some sound recordings to listen for crab crunches and fish grunts… very excited to look at that data! Thanks to @OpenAcoustics #audiomoths !

Had a stunningly sunny couple of weeks of fieldwork on the #Kintyre Peninsula! We investigated the invertebrate and fish diversity supported by #seagrass, and trialled a new method for monitoring #otters and birds hunting in seagrass

#Seagrass restoration in the #FirthofForth is officially underway! It was such a treat to help inject seeds into the mudflats - now we just have to wait patiently for them to germinate🌱 Huge congrats to the Restoration Forth team who organised this so elegantly 👏

Today is the first ever UN-recognised #WorldSeagrassDay ! 🌱🐟💚 Here's some relaxing footage from my fieldsite on Skye to celebrate - featuring a curious pollock, and lots of lil' two-spot gobies

Thought I'd share some of the footage from my baited camera surveys this summer... Two curious spiny dogfish in a seagrass meadow in the south of Skye - aren't they cute?! #spurdog in #seagrass captured by a #BRUV

Great day of fieldwork yesterday! We set up underwater microphones to investigate how the #soundscape of a #seagrass meadow changes as it is restored Many thanks to the wonderful @seawilding for letting us study their restoration site! Excited to see what we hear... 🎶🎵

Who knew diatoms could make such deliciously gorgeous origami? Such a great way to visualise teeny tiny organisms Spotted at the Mapping Ocean Change through Art (MOCA) stall at #MASTSasm2022 by @neilbanas
