Are plastics in the ocean as big a problem as widely believed? Learn more about this popular scientific issue in my new book! With contributions from prominent scientists in this field. #plastic #microplastic #nanoplastic #pollution #environment worldscientific.com/pressroom/2023…

Check out these massive water pumps🌳🫧 Each day street trees🌳are literally pumping out💪 gallons of water 🪣🪣into your local air. This is called transpiration. This helps regulate your local climate - producing a cooling + humidifying effect. Making where you live more

Wow ok. Plastics are only stable in the environment because of added chemicals (eg to protect from UVs). Chemicals which are now PROVEN to be toxic (disruption of human endocrine system and more). So if we want to ban these toxics, the whole plastic industry falls apart?

Been learning about @renishawplc InVia Qontor micro-Raman. I understand the hardware now but still experiencing issues with health checks....

Had a blast at the Gosport diving museum today The Diving Museum

What a haul! Thanks to our #solentseagrasschampions we had a fantastic seed collecting session this morning at Seaview. Loads of spathes and thousands of seed in the bag for our #SolentSeagrassRestoration Hampshire & IOW Wildlife Trust Marine BoskalisWestminster UoP Marine Biology FatFace Foundation Vp plc

Inspiring day at Horndean Junior School! Dr Fay Couceiro shared how GB Row Challenge collects vital scientific data on #OceanPollution. The children discovered 1 bin lorry of plastic is dumped in our oceans every minute. Read the full story: gbrowchallenge.com/local-children… University of Portsmouth

Great time helping on the #SolentSeagrassRestoration project in Seaview, IoW. Collecting seeds for replanting in depleted areas. Thanks Theo Vickers for the shots. -- Hampshire & IOW Wildlife Trust Marine UoP Marine Biology Ellie Parker Tim Ferrero BoskalisWestminster FatFace Foundation Vp plc

Absolutely loved hearing from John Dadd on his career as a UK navy #clearancediver started in the 1960s. He has lived through so much change in the #scubadiving industry. Thanks to UK's only The Diving Museum and #HistoricDivingSociety team for organising and hosting.

They have indeed set out late last night. Last stretch Team Ithaca !

With less than 50 nautical miles left, Team Ithaca is on the verge of completing their incredible journey, rowing around GB 🇬🇧 Barring any unexpected challenges from wind and tide, we're hoping they'll cross the finish line of Tower Bridge, London, on Wednesday afternoon🤞

And they're back! Here is Team Ithaca passing under Tower Bridge - breaking a world record for fastest female team. They've battled horrendous weather on the way round and absolutely smashed it! 👏 #OceanRowing #RowWithAPurpose #WorldsToughestRow

Had a fruitful engagement with the microplastics PGRs coming down to #IMS. Lovely pics by #Sophiering #UoPeople #tireparticles #Pollution

It's midweek-today's International Women's Day Student Spotlight is from Laura Fantuzzi UoP Technology. Laura's research tracks pollution & biodiversity in British coastal waters with data from GB Row Challenge. myport.port.ac.uk/news-events-an… #InspireInclusion #PortsmouthUni #IWD2024

In this week’s #LifeSolved we catch up with Maggie Hodge RRC and Laura Fantuzzi who are gathering insights into the state of our ocean while taking part in the @GBRow2024. 🎙️ Listen now: bit.ly/3VMn1tY UoP Faculty of Science & Health UoP Marine Biology #RowWithAPurpose #PortsmouthUni

I have been analysing novel biodiversity data from UK coastal waters for University of Portsmouth @GBRow2024 . In our latest report we share some of the insights we've gained. #eDNA #MarineBiodiversity #OceanRowing #CitizenScience #MarineRecreationWithAPurpose

Have been devouring content on dosits.org - Discovery Of Sounds In The Sea website, all about ocean acoustics. I'm excited for their new webinar tomorrow presented by Dr Grace Smarsh talking about the UN Ocean Decade. #OceanAcoustics #OceanDecade #DOSITS

The International BioAcoustics Society International Bioacoustics Council (IBAC) make available records of their meetings back to 1971 - such a cool resource!! ibac.info/ibac-meetings
