#1. Meet the “walking squid”!! Maybe the large tentacles of these whip-lash squids aid them in prey detection? More detail on the habitat of this and other #CCZmegafauna here: buff.ly/2Qc9A5O #MarsAttacks #cephalopods #deepsea

Using industry data to provide the scientific understanding needed to underpin good environmental management. New paper just out from the Australian SERPENT Project team Dr Paul Thomson

Environmental management of more mature offshore industries can help guide practice for the emerging #DeepSeaMining industry. This review provides some great background as to how this can be done.

Marine environmental monitoring is critical for effective management of human activities. A new review of autonomous approaches from the SERPENT Project team. Focus on #Decommissioning but relevant to other sectors and industries.

Thanks to all who tried their hand at image annotation on our "Eyes in the Deep" stand National Oceanography Centre #NOCOpenDay19. We found 18 different species in the ROV survey acquired especially for the day. Some highlights include a Wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) and Tuskfish (Bromse bromse).

The #DeepOcean below 200m water depth is the least observed, but largest habitat on our planet 🌎. A new review in Frontiers - Marine Science highlights the history, status, challenges and future directions to advance global deep-ocean science. Paper >> bit.ly/2Ic7cGP

Hundreds of industry Remotely Operated Vehicles are used daily in our oceans - here is how to use them for science. Paper: frontiersin.org/article/10.338… #ROV #openaccess by Dr Dianne McLean Andrew Gates @gulfcoastmark Prof. Peter Macreadie and more SERPENT Project National Oceanography Centre

New research from Dr Dianne McLean reveals how industry #ROVs could be adapted to gather more than maintenance data from offshore structures - they could boost new scientific discoveries. Learn more: bit.ly/2xEeIHV

Thanks to @DivaAmon for highlighting this SERPENT Project work in the #deepsea #IndianOcean led by Andrew Gates

Effective management of marine resources needs a good understanding of the environment. In data poor areas, like the deep sea, bringing together existing multidisciplinary data from scattered sources can make a big difference to success. Here's a good example from #DeepSeaMining

One of our favourites from the deep water west of Shetland for #WorldOctopusDay!

We are excited to be part of the new BORA collaboration between National Oceanography Centre and Subsea7 to gain greater access to our deep oceans.

New Paper: Time-lapse photography to observe deep-sea sponge response to sedimentation from offshore drilling National Oceanography Centre SERPENT Project Mike Clare sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Together with scientists from The University of Edinburgh we've made the first real-time photo observations of the impacts, from offshore oil well drilling, on deep-sea sponges.📷 #shakeitoff Find out why this research is important for environmental monitoring noc.ac.uk/news/scientist…
