An important article which amplifies how integral sharks are to ocean health. Monitoring shark populations is an important part of our marine research work on the Pitcairn Islands, which has one of the largest MPAs globally. #sharkfree theguardian.com/environment/20…

It has been wonderful to have the Operation Redfish team with us on #pitcairn over the last couple of weeks. They have made some potentially exciting discoveries and we'll be sharing some incredible pics in the coming days.

Many thanks to Professor Miles Lamare and his colleagues in the Marine Sciences Division at #UniversityofOtago for a fascinating tour of the Portobello Marine Laboratory and discussing research collaboration in #pitcairn.

Thank you Prof Ballantyne, Mayor Radich and distinguished academics at #UniversityofOtago for the dinner and discussion on marine science cooperation last night. And thanks Miles for the book, which will have pride of place in the new science base on #pitcairn.

Congratulations Robin! The legacy of the Henderson plastics expedition - highlighting the blight of marine plastic pollution - lives on.

And still very much an unchartered marine wonder, with the likelihood of many more marine species still to be discovered. The #bluebeltprogramme helps support scientific expeditions and all the evidence obtained so far reinforces why MPAs are critical to ocean health.

I do enjoy trying new jog routes when travelling but it doesn't get more offbeat than being on Pitcairn, and you get views like this. The hill of difficulty is a killer though.

Such a joy to discuss upcoming projects at the new Marine Science Base with Pitcairn colleagues. There is such a vibrant and healthy future for Pitcairn’s environment story.

Humpback whales are regular visitors to Pitcairn waters at this time of year, where they come to calve. Getting that perfect picture of them breaching is quite a challenge, the best I could get was these. It was a joy just watching them play.

Really enjoyed my visit to #NOCS today to see the range of marine research capabilities that can assist the #bluebeltprogramme, including #pitcairn. With my visits to #RALSpace and #Cefas last week it is a privilege to work with institutions that represent UK science excellence.

Enjoyed catching up with Alexandre Dechelotte from #PlasticOdyssey on their amazing clean up plastic rubbish on #HendersonIslandPitcairn. Their innovative methods enabled over 9 tonnes of rubbish being removed from this UNESCO world heritage site.

In celebration of #WorldOceanDay the #PitcairnIslands may only have a combined size of 49 kms2 but it has the world's third largest fully protected MPA, the most remote marine science base and is a platinum level #BlueParkAward winner.
