Not everyone has the chance to see & interact with reefs, but immersive tools like these can allow for a more personal connection with the ocean & ultimately foster a deeper sense of agency and empathy!
This international women’s day we celebrate the inspiring women that are part of, and work alongside our group.
The UN’s theme for #IWD is “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls”- learn more here: www.unwomen.org/en/get-invol...

Seabirds can help support #CoralReef biodiversity and resilience.
Nutrient inputs from seabirds affect the feeding strategies and physical traits of reef fishes, enriching reef waters with nitrogen and phosphorus.

New in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com: our review of the influence of #seabirds, via their nutrient transfer, on islands & adjacent marine ecosystems 🐦🏝️🪸
We highlight knowledge gaps & future directions ✨

Seabirds act as powerful connectors between marine and terrestrial ecosystems - and protecting them can help tackle the crises of climate change, failing ocean health, and biodiversity loss, according to a new study published in Nature Reviews Biodiversity 🐦
It's apparently #WorldOctopusDay, so here's a tiny little fellow we unfortunately captured in our last fieldtrip in Chagos while looking for small fishes and other invertebrates. Hope all other three-hearted creatures have a better fate than his!

VR dive experience tested on my coral reef ecology module @lancasteruninews.bsky.social found it helped consolidate knowledge & motivated learning+pro-environmental behaviour.

Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly recognized as a tool for enhancing engagement and motivation in education. This is particularly true where access to experiential learning is limited, as is often...
Cross-ecosystem nutrient transfer can enhance coral reef functioning in an otherwise oligotrophic environment. While the influence of seabird-derived nutrients on coral reef organisms is increasingly recognized, how they are integrated into reef food we...
A new global synthesis published today in Nature Reviews Biodiversity reveals how seabirds act as powerful connectors between marine and terrestrial ecosystems and why protecting seabirds is a powerful opportunity when tackling the triple crises of climate change, failing ocean health, and biodivers...
