Thanks so much @thembauk.bsky.social for featuring Spring Tides in their must reads for future marine biologists! I would love Spring Tides to inspire the next generation of marine biologists.
The Marine Biological Association does so much to support aspiring marine biologists - do join them! 💙🌊🐌

Thank you Dr Matthew Bunce for a lovely review of Spring Tides in The Marine Biologist, the @thembauk.bsky.social magazine. It is wonderful to see Spring Tides alongside exciting stories of marine discovery.
Do have a read if you're interested in Irish Sea marine life, #MPAs or the Isle of Man! 🦈🪸📚

Wetlands are vital for #biodiversity, including as critical habitats for many migratory species.🐦🌍🧪

Yet, many of these #wetlands are now threatened.

🚨 BREAKING: #Rosebank has been ruled unlawful and its approval has been overturned! This is a historic moment in the fight for our #ocean, our climate, and our futures. So thrilled for our friends at @stopcambo.bsky.social on this tremendous news. 🎉

Breaking: Uplift welcomes a very sensible decision from the Court of Session invalidating the decision to approve the Rosebank oil field. Rosebank is a disaster for the climate & will do next to nothing to create the prosperity & stability that the UK needs.
