BIG DEEP SEA NEWS - Deep-sea nodules produce oxygen. I knew this was coming and I'm so pleased this game-changing information is finally public. This is exactly why we need to stop #deepseamining whilst we conduct further research. Read the study here: nature.com/articles/s4156…

Most incredible science discovery this decade! Changes every textbook. Manganese nodules produce oxygen in the #deepsea!!? ⁦These are the nodules targeted for mining… they make oxygen… 😳🤯⁩ ⁦The Deep-Sea Podcast⁩ ⁦Deep-Sea Biology Society⁩ ⁦Rebecca Morelle⁩ bbc.com/news/articles/…

Dark oxygen made by deep sea 'batteries' - could support life on the seafloor and on other planets #stopdeepseamining bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I think this is the biggest paradigm shift in deep-sea science I've ever seen. Kudos Andrew Sweetman and team for discovering that manganese nodule fields produce O2 in the deep ocean. BBC News (UK) report: bbc.com/news/articles/… Paper: Paper: nature.com/articles/s4156…

⚠️MEET OUR GUEST⚠️ Dr Brit Finucci (Brit Finucci) is a fisheries scientist at NIWA (National Institute of Water and Air Research) in New Zealand. Her work focuses on deepwater sharks and chimaeras & their conservation. Listen to our chimera episode here: bit.ly/3SzIPq2

We recently reached dive nº 1000 of the Azor drift-cam In 6 yrs we visited all underwater structures of the Azores shallower than 1000m depth, exploring 600+ km of deep seabed A major achievement, not only for our team but for the scientific knowledge of this remote environment

A fantastic day at Natural History Museum yesterday, examining their collection of deep-sea sharks (Apristurus spp.) in preparation for some exciting Marine Vertebrate MSc (U of Exeter) projects. Thanks to Curator of Fishes Diego F B Vaz for all your support. @ExeterMarine University of Exeter CEC #deepsea #sharks #nhm

Day 1 for our first year Marine Biology students University of Exeter CEC and they are out on the shore already, delving into rock pools and getting familiar with the local fauna. 🦀 @ExeterMarine #ExeterMarine

And so concludes the first week for the new cohort of marine biology students University of Exeter. I'm blown away with what they have achieved already and so proud of how well they have done during Research Week University of Exeter CEC 👏 #ExeterMarine @ExeterMarine

Did you know all six species of #RiverDolphins are endangered? The good news is that 10 countries have committed to taking action for river dolphins 🩵 #CoP16Colombia is our chance to #ActForOurPlanet! WWF Water 💧🐟

I’m honoured (!) to have been awarded an MBE in the King’s New Year Honours List 🎖️ “For services to Marine Conservation and Coastal Communities” 🌊 Marine conservation has been my life, passion and mission for over 20 years and to be recognised in this way means the world! 🥰

Yay! The humpback whales are back in Cornwall 🐳🩵 Dr. Daniel M Moore and I published research on this: They could be: stopping off on their migration (like a Service Station!) / Young’uns not making the full migration 👇🏻🐋 mbr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… BBC Cornwall @ExeterMarine

A fantastic few days on the water with my marine biology students ExeterMarine thanks to Cornwall IFCA I'm so grateful to have such a great class of students, all so passionate about our ocean. #exetermarine #marinebiology University of Exeter University of Exeter CEC

I'm pleased to see some of my research, in collaboration with Emily G Cunningham MBE , Gemma Halstead and Kate O'Neil featured in this great piece in the Telegraph by @JoeShute telegraph.co.uk/environment/20… #ExeterMarine @ExeterMarine

I am deeply concerned to hear of the #NorthSea collision between an oil tanker and a cargo vessel. My first thoughts are with the vessels crews and their families but as a marine biologist from #Lincolnshire I am also very worried about the impact on vulnerable marine species.

Latest information - Stena Immaculate was carrying A1 jet fuel. Whilst acutely toxic to aquatic life, there is likely less long term impacts to marine life than other potential pollutants such as crude oil. Still not good news but still feeling slightly relieved. #NorthSea
