Our first day on Lighthouse Island with Copeland Bird Observatory has been absolutely incredible. Otters, puffins and Manx shearwater are just some of the many species we’ve been able to see here and we couldn’t have picked a better day for it!

That brings out trip to Copeland Bird Observatory to an end. Thank you so much for having us, we had a blast and will definitely be back!!


Its all about networking. Opportunity for emerging marine scientists and researchers to meet the community and make contacts.

Basking sharks are what now?! New paper led by Dr Haley Dolton (she/her) where we document regional endothermy in our favourite giant filter feeding sharky 🔥. Interesting implications for evolution and ecological advantages of regional endothermy; we thought it was only seen in apex 🦈&🐟1/3

We had a fantastic morning out with some of our members at Exploris Aquarium. A lovely time was had and delighted that we weren’t too late in the year to see the seal pups!


New Paper available through Endangered Species Research. By combining ultrasound images with hormone analysis, we were able to investigate the reproductive traits of the #flapperskate (D. intermedius). This approach suggests females lay pairs of eggs over winter. bit.ly/3F0BCIz


Our new paper in Animal Biotelemetry shows acoustic telemetry's role in monitoring basking sharks, revealing cross-border connectivity, annual site fidelity, hotspots, and potential grouped movements SEUPB SeaMonitor Queen's University Belfast 🎓 Edinburgh Napier University shorturl.at/EvBCs
