Together with scientists from @EdinburghUni we've made the first real-time photo observations of the impacts, from offshore oil well drilling, on deep-sea sponges.📷 #shakeitoff Find out why this research is important for environmental monitoring noc.ac.uk/news/scientists-ob…

Effective management of marine resources needs a good understanding of the environment. In data poor areas, like the deep sea, bringing together existing multidisciplinary data from scattered sources can make a big difference to success. Here's a good example from #DeepSeaMining

New research from @DrDianneMcLean reveals how industry #ROVs could be adapted to gather more than maintenance data from offshore structures - they could boost new scientific discoveries. Learn more: bit.ly/2xEeIHV

Environmental management of more mature offshore industries can help guide practice for the emerging #DeepSeaMining industry. This review provides some great background as to how this can be done.
Our new paper reviews existing environmental management approaches relevant to deep-sea mining @NOCnews @4kgjerde #openaccess #DeepSeaMining doi.org/10.1016/j.marpol.201…
Using industry data to provide the scientific understanding needed to underpin good environmental management. New paper just out from the Australian @SerpentProject team @PaulTho12913604
Pls RT: Classic movies in marine ecology, how useful to science are archival industry ROV inspection videos? @uwaoceans @ChrisGaudinCOFS @UTS_Science @Deakin @UOW_CSES @FrontMarineSci @SerpentProject @WoodsideEnergy #ROV4SCI doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2018.0…

#1. Meet the “walking squid”!! Maybe the large tentacles of these whip-lash squids aid them in prey detection? More detail on the habitat of this and other #CCZmegafauna here: buff.ly/2Qc9A5O #MarsAttacks #cephalopods #deepsea
