A beautiful morning out at Park Rynie. Found these beautif Christmas tree worms but didn't find any Marphysa. #fieldwork #polychaetes

Thank you to dark jessica derick santillan ruven and safety officer tintoAI for their help this morning. Blue Wilderness Carol Simon

Sampled Port Shepstone this morning. Marphysa here were found under red bait so I couldn't get as many as I needed. It supposed to be spring lows but the tide was higher than it should have been. #polychaetes Carol Simon

Went to Umkomaas estuary but couldn't find any Marphysa here!!! #unfortunate #polychaetes Carol Simon Nikki #durbanfieldwork

Found tons of nereidids as usual. And also found some Gunnarea!! Carol Simon #polychaetes #EstuarineWonderWorm where are you??

A productive sampling day at Richards Bay harbour. Found Marphysa here living in rock crevices. Also found a cool spaghetti worm. Carol Simon #Marphysa #polychaetes #durbanfieldwork

Thanks to Reesha Kara for being an excellent field assistant and thank you to Brynn from National Sea Rescue Institute station19 for her expert advice on where to look for worms!! Carol Simon #polychaetes

I agree Nas. Sometimes I feel like I might be next and this terrifies me a lot. When will we stop feeling this way?

I hereby offer my services, pro bono, to women and children who have been raped or assaulted. Forget the criminal courts. Let's sue the fuckers. Let's hit them where it hurts. I challenge all lawyers to do the same. Flood the courts with damages claims.

Collected these fanworms from Georgina Jones who got them from Simon's town harbour. We are trying to figure out whether the invasive Sabella spallanzanii made it to South Africa! I don't think it did!! Carol Simon #polychaetes #taxonomy #WormDetective

THESE PEOPLE ARE MAKING HISTORY! This week we've created an #AfricaneDNA network, and we're starting a regional conversation that will grow and grow into the future. Please do share with all your contacts who are working on eDNA in the African region, and join our network!

The latest acquisition of Iziko_Museums is this Giant Squid (Architeuthis) specimen that washed up in Brittania Bay along the South African West Coast. Thanks to the swift action of the public, Environmentza and the South African National Stranding Network. #GiantSquid
