Moments like this also remind us why we do what we do, highlighting the value of #innovation in tackling the challenges of biodiversity monitoring at scale: from key ecosystem drivers incl the smallest and most abundant life in our ocean (phyto-and zooplankton) to the most vulnerable ocean giants.
FMRI Coastal Autonomy Workshop in Plymouth tomorrow hosted by the NCCA - National Centre for Coastal Autonomy. A strong showing from the marine autonomy & innovation community 🌊🧪
Great to see Plymouth now recognised as the UK’s National Centre for Marine Autonomy. noc-events.co.uk/fmri-keynote...
The #HOLOtag images microscopic #plankton on the fly—from micron to millimetre scale—capturing #biodiversity in high resolution and with minimal disturbance, revealing the living pulse of our ocean - from plankton to predators. Stay tuned.

It's official: @alexnimmosmith.bsky.social & I have launched the HOLOtag for ocean observation on a micro-AUV! An ultra-compact plankton imaging sensor, the #HOLOtag is a real breakthrough in sensor innovation and now backed by the @royalsociety.org 🌊🦑🧪
🧪🦑From #plankton to predators 🌊 Out for sea trials testing our new #autonomy technology when this beauty surfaced right in front of us! #sunfish A timely reminder of how #ocean change is reshaping #biodiversity on our doorstep. @plymbiomarsci.bsky.social @alexnimmosmith.bsky.social
Looking forward to seeing you there, some really exciting science & innovation to be shared tomorrow! @plymouthmarine.bsky.social @fmri-nerc.bsky.social @alexnimmosmith.bsky.social @plymbiomarsci.bsky.social
Wind turbines affect local wind regime, esp. downwind from them. How that affects marine ecosystems, through wind-related features like upwelling, is something we are still learning. But aspects like surface primary productivity seem to be affected. 🧪🌊
