The next step in testing our new ROV and USBL system involved a trip down the harbour wall to get the ROV in the sea. The USBL system will allow us to get a GPS location of the ROV, and therefore a position of any horse mussels we see.
What a day yesterday! After seeing gannets dive all day we were treated to two feeding minke whales!

On #EarthDay2024 @scotgov has confirmed that the sale and supply of wet wipes containing plastic will be banned in Scotland.
Ministers will introduce regulations by the end of 2024 with the ban due to come into force 18 months later.

This ban delivers on an important commitment in our Marine Litter Strategy and builds on previous actions to ban unnecessary single-use plastic items."
#EarthDay = #PlanetVsPlastics To help raise awareness & inspire change we are sharing a project from a @EdinburghUni student who found #microplastics in velvet swimming crab digestive systems & gills. And pictured are examples of microplastics in coral species in Guadelupe.

Splicing Sunday with @Jack_Longsden building 60 #INNS monitoring set ups for @LifeWader. These will be deployed along the NE coast this week 🦐🪼🐠

Our senior researcher, Erica, worked with a great team of visiting researchers (@marcofusi1980), who will be presenting their work at @SEBiology. The talk is titled "Accounting for ecologically relevant oxygen fluctuation explains thermal tolerance plasticity in marine species"
So great to see everyone's amazing and different journeys. We hope this has inspried some of the @eyemouth_high students.
Thank you to our @eyemouth_high librarian, Mrs Renstead, for the #BritishScienceWeek display of posters featuring the career journeys of women working locally in science and conservation roles primarily at National Trust for Scotland, @BerwickshireMR and @marinestation 🐠
This year we've had an unprecedented number of volunteer applications that we are now operating a waitlist for the summer (June-Aug). There is still space available between now & end of May or starting in Sept. Please see marinestation.co.uk for more info & registration form

Happy International Womens' Day from all the amazing women at St Abbs Marine Station!

This Thursday we'll be at the Eyemouth High School Careers Fair, teaming up with @BerwickshireMR and St Abb's Head National Nature Reserve to celebrate women in conservation science.
ALT These students are getting some sediment ready for planting seagrass. Seagrass is the world's only flowering plant capable of living in seawater and an incredible ally in the fight against climate change.
Tomorrow, we're contributing to @dynamic_earth's School Careers Day!
🌍 We're so excited to be part of this amazing day bringing together a diverse range of STEM employers from research and industry.🐟
