Our crew spent a rewarding day working together with @UniofExeter and @mcsuk scientists this week. With the use of our seaboat, we were able to assist in their #conservation efforts to safeguard the 🐢 population in #Montserrat 🇲🇸
Final satellite tag deployed last night on Rendezvous Beach, Montserrat just in time for sunrise.

Most terrestrial biodiversity lives in forests, buffered from extreme temperatures. Our new R package predicts #microclimate anywhere on earth, including within canopy. Major extension to @NicheMapR and microclima.

UK government has announced "a bee-killing pesticide so poisonous that it is banned by the EU" may be used in England.
New coal mines and pesticides... the UK's so called "green industrial revolution" is off to a great start.
Very credible indeed.

🐟 Time to ban EU & UK #fishing vessels from using damaging bottom towed gear in UK #MarineProtectedAreas 💙 from 2021. Oceana analysis found 60% EU fishing vessels (31% French) & rest UK flagged vessels (some Dutch owned) responsible for 60,000 hours in offshore #MPAs in 2019

This week marked a milestone moment in our seagrass project in South West Wales – as the final seeds are planted in our two hectare restoration project!
This meadow will help tackle #ClimateChange while providing a home for UK marine life. 🌱
