Thank you @CefasGovUK for hosting a brilliant partnership day yesterday with @NaturalEngland! We enjoyed the discussions, lab tours, workshops and presentations. What a fantastic way to identify future opportunities for collaborative research and partnership working. #NEMarine

Some of @NaturalEngland's marine team is visiting @CefasGovUK today! The aim of the day is to celebrate and strengthen our collaborative working which has grown since our first partnership agreement in 2009. Looking forward to a fascinating day of workshops and talks! #NEMarine
Great to be in the ReMEDIES conference at @NMAPlymouth today. I love that the emphasis of this true partnership project is on pressure removal and behavioural change alongside restoration, honoured to have played a small part. #SaveOurSeabed @NaturalEngland @RYA @OceanCTrust

After 32 years & an immensely rewarding career with @NaturalEngland, I've decided to retire this summer. It’s been an honour to serve as Chief Scientist working with such talented colleagues to conserve, enhance & manage the natural environment. Farewell & thank you! #Retirement

Natural England and partners have received the Judges Special Award for Marine Protection (Sandeel fishing ban) from the Blue Marine Foundation 2024 Ocean Awards. A wonderful achievement and international recognition of the hard work that went into this.

If this graph doesn't freak you out, you need to take a good, hard look at yourself. Yes, governments & businesses need to take more action, but so too does every single one of us #ClimateChangeIsReal #ClimateEmergency 🌊🔥

🥳 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

This week the Boards of @NaturalEngland & @The_MMO met in Newcastle, where we signed a Memorandum of Understanding to reinforce our common goals & ambitions for marine Nature recovery. Integrated action needed with fishing, renewables, blue carbon, minerals, navigation & more.

Today Snr Specialists highlighted @NaturalEngland's commitment to seagrass protection at #SeagrassSymposium. Asked about balancing recreation & conservation-outreach & education on sustainable use is key as recreation is so important for health & wellbeing @EULIFERemedies #UKSS23

UK Seagrass conservation and science has come of age
Today we have 150 people (and a further 50 online) at the UKs first Seagrass symposium.
Onwards and upwards for UK Seagrass
#teamseagrass
Great talks by Fiona Tibbitt @NaturalEngland and @JeanLucSol @mcsuk about @EULIFERemedies. Having worked in this excellent partnership it was fascinating to hear how the project is advancing! Key messages for me: changing behaviours is hard, and seabed recovery takes a long time.
