Ever wonder what we do on a cockle survey? Wonder no more..Here's a little time-lapse of us surveying some cockle beds last week. Yes we move fast!🐚🌊 #FisheriesResearch

EIFCA have found localised patches of slipper limpets on our cockle & mussel surveys. Grab a copy of Fishing News to read more on how we are trying to reduce thicker concentrations of the limpets, even if total eradication isn't possible! Thanks @JohnWorrall11 for joining us!

Whilst our science team are now home based, we are still collecting shellfish samples to ensure public health requirements are met, maintain classifications & enable fisheries to continue. We are following GOV.UK guidance & luckily social distancing is fairly easy in The Wash! 🐚

A BTO pilot study has used GPS tracking to help understand where #Oystercatchers are feeding on the 30,000ha of tidal mudflats of The Wash. Ensuring both bird and commercial harvesting of shellfish can thrive. Natural England Wash Wader RG Natural England East Midlands Eastern IFCA

RV Three Counties was used by Rob Spray and crew today looking at habitat in #TheWash. We look forward to seeing what the results are!

Size-selective #fishing can help protect spawning stocks. The #Manx #fishery uses riddle-devices to select large whelks so smalls can mature

And The Wash and North Norfolk Marine Partnership goes social media live! Check out our shiny new website to find out a little more about what we do protect the maritime nature and culture of this remarkable stretch of the Great British coastline. wnnmp.co.uk #WNNMP
