Our #GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork is building understanding of both pelagic and benthic habitats around 10 #UKOTs. Footage like this from #Montserrat will help inform protective and management measures into the future. #WorldHabitatDay Blue Abacus

Want to know how technology is supporting Tristan da Cunha's Areas To Be Avoided?Satellite,NovaSAR-1, visible infrared imaging radiometer suites & the Blue Belt Shared Intelligence Hub (BBSIH) are working to minimise risks from maritime accidents: bit.ly/3DxVnnV Governor's Office - St Helena, Ascension & Tristan


Yesterday Ascension Island & St Helena's #BRUVS were packed up and sent ready for loading onto #DY143! PhD student Shona Murray will be onboard the #DY143 expedition and helping deploy these pieces of kit around the OTs. 🐬🦈🐠 #GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork


So good to see the #CoP26 announcement of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor #CMAR marine park. It will protect an ocean highway across the ocean territories of Columbia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Panama. We continue to deploy our #BRUVS across the region National Geographic Pristine Seas


On #InternationalWomensDay the Marine Futures Lab would like to celebrate the achievements of our women researchers contributing to ocean conservation. School of Biological Sciences, UWA ...Naima Andrea López who published on endangered hammerheads and media raises attention on protection.


... Hanna Jabour Christ who completed a 1st class honours on functional ecology of pelagic species … watch this space for the paper. Shona Murray who has progressed her PhD whilst COVID-stuck in the UK and still continues her work on IUCN Vulnerable silky sharks.


To the women working with the lab: Jenny, Abi and Maicey, we look forward to watching your journeys. To Blue Abacus who keeps science going & thank you to the wonderful men in our lab who contribute to ocean conservation whilst supporting a safe and equitable space for women.


The Meeuwig lab just finished up our #oceanwildlife surveys using mid-water #BRUVS from Blue Abacus at the Geographe Bay and Southwest Corner Marine Parks Parks Australia. 200 deployments in 10 days with hectic weather, supported by #LeeuwinMarineCharters #BlueAbacus


Blue Abacus spent last week with the Cayman Islands Department of Environment team deploying mid-water, seabed and mesophotic #BRUVS in the #CaymanIslands as part of Blue Belt Programme #GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork. Look forward to seeing the range of fish across the three habitats! #Bluebelt
