Settlement panels return for the second year of monitoring. Deployed in marinas, key locations for marine INNS, they provide a surface for INNS to settle on. We then use visual and eDNA methods to identify the species. Ecology Group, Newcastle University Natural England NE LIFE Programme #INNSweek

Many of the plant species that are invading our dune systems are ‘garden escapes’. Please Be Plant Wise and don't let your garden, pond, or aquarium plants enter the wild. Invasive Species Week #BePlantWise LIFE Programme

A great online networking event, thank you LIFE R4ever Kent LIFE Programme

Lots of interesting and fun ways to get involved today, and a lovely day for it

The Welcome Wagon was at Beadnell car park yesterday morning with information about the special nature of the amazing coast - great to catch up with friends from ⁦National Trust⁩. We’ll be up and down the coast all summer with details at lindisfarnennr.blogspot.com/?m=1 ⁦

A brilliant approach to dealing with invasive non-native marine species in the Baltic Sea - this fantastic LIFE Programme project engages chefs to turn invasives into appetisers! bit.ly/3MbyWex

Wishing Hamish, Emily Tweed Forum and Charlotte Ecology Group, Newcastle University well at the 14th Annual SERE Conference 2024 (sere2024.org) in Estonia LIFE Programme River Tweed experts head to eastern Europe for major ecological conference northumberlandgazette.co.uk/news/environme…

Don't be disheartened by washed-out summer says - as they have a big plus side: it's much easier to spot ducks, geese and waders on the coast in wet weather! The rain settles them down and they tend to stay in one place. Marine birds don't hunker down like woodland birds do🪿🐦‍⬛

I had the opportunity today to talk about LIFE WADER and my work with #macroalgae and #seagrass at SER Europe #SERE2024 Greatful for this opportunity and had such a great time at my first international conference 🌱 NCL Dove Marine Lab Sciences at Newcastle Ecology Group, Newcastle University ONE Planet DTP

#Plantingseason is just around the corner, and we're in the process of, marking up for future planting, and conducting thorough surveys to assess the survival rates of various tree species. Setting the stage for another successful season of #woodlandrestoration🌳 #lifeprogramme

A great way to start the new term! #destinationtweeduk have been exploring biodiversity of the Cobby on the River Tweed with pupils from Edenside Primary. They surveyed riverbank plants, identified trees & learned about the impact of invasive non-native plants LIFE Programme🌱

This week 5 seabird species were added to the UK red list of birds at most need of conservation, including the Arctic Tern - one of the species we are working with Lindisfarne NNR to protect. They breed in small numbers on Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve🌊LIFE Programme

An amazing new concept - 'listening to the soil' can tell you how healthy it is! bit.ly/3MDPrQN Soil health in Northumberland is a major priority for our team. We're working closely with farmers & land managers on new organic ways to fortify soils🪱 📷Julian Zwengel

A nice day out on the Bay for sampling that pesky macro-algae! 🌱
