I’m not at @CCAMLR this year - but still knitting fish! Passing the time while waiting for our delayed flight South to Mario Zucchelli Station… 🧶 🐟

Fellowship opportuities for early career researchers working on #Antarctica and the #SouthernOcean with these four fantastic organisations - IAATO 🛳️ Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs ❄️@CCAMLR1 🐟 and Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) 🐧- deadlines in June and August 👇

Exciting new resource to support management of the South Georgia & South Sandwich Islands #MPA - thanks to @Darwin_Defra for funding this project, bringing together a great community of scientists and stakeholders.

Last day of the ATCM here in Berlin...the in-person delegates of COMNAP and SCAR still smiling. 😀
Both organisations happy to contribute to the continuance of peace & science in Antarctica.

Released at the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting #ATCMXLIV in Berlin today!

Huge congratulations to Endurance22 and National Geographic for finding the wreck of #Shackleton ’s #Endurance . The wreck is amazing but can we also talk about some of the #Antarctic sea floor creatures that now call it home! Add any others you spot to the thread! (1)

Incredible! Ernest Shackleton’s ship, Endurance, found at last in the Weddell Sea, Antarctica - 107 years after being crushed by sea ice and sinking 3000m to the seafloor. bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
