Really great to be back at University of Exeter, Cornwall for the day lecturing this years #MVEC students about video creation for their masters projects! Marine Vertebrate MSc (U of Exeter) @ExeterMarine @VJHobson @BrendanGodley DFManagement

#MVEC twitter infographic challenge set by @BrendanGodley & @VJHobson! Looking at anthropogenic disturbance and epigenetic changes in #lemonsharks. A fantastic paper by Serena Hackerott et al. - check it out here! doi.org/10.1016/j.ecol…

Does gillnet illumination attract or reduce #bycatch? In this recent Conservation Biology paper by Leyna Stemle, illumination was found to reduce #seaturtle bycatch in fisheries by 81%! Here's my Marine Vertebrate MSc (U of Exeter) infographic based on this study: doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1… #MVEC #ExeterMarine

Can technology help both beachgoers and marine vertebrates? Here is my submission for the #MVEC infographic challenge Marine Vertebrate MSc (U of Exeter) @BrendanGodley @VJHobson Don't forget to check out the awesome paper by Kye Adams et al. (doi: doi.org/10.3390/drones…)

#BTS of our short social media film coming out in November/December as part of the Marine Vertebrate MSc (U of Exeter) course! Keep your eyes peeled 👀 🦭 Adam Smith Simon Sophia Coveney Zoe Laurence

Super interesting talk about tracking marine megafauna with David March just now, where we heard about how animals like Thunderbird the turtle can help gather oceanographic data (among other things)! #BioLogging #SeaSeminar #SpatialEcology #Oceanography

The Galapagos marine reserve is now a lot bigger! Freaking stoked about this one. Thank you & congratulations to all the people that made this happen. Wi-fives to the Galapagos Whale Shark Project team who've put a ton of work into this. bbc.com/news/world-lat…

Following a fantastic seminar last Monday with @ExeterMarine and The WiSe Scheme I am absolutely delighted to become WiSe accredited! Just as important as getting out and enjoying our wonderful coastline is understanding boundaries and being respectful to marine life! #mvec #WiSe

Just got back from a fantastic trip to the Isles of Scilly with Marine Vertebrate MSc (U of Exeter)! Got to experience amazing views, a wealth of marine diversity and first hand evidence of the importance community spirit that has made conservation so effective on the isles!

First couple sets of BRUVS dropped this morning and off to review the footage this afternoon, fingers crossed for lots of fishies! 🌊🦞🐟 Marine Vertebrate MSc (U of Exeter) @ExeterMarine @OwenExeter Adam Smith

First few BRUV drops done in the Isles of Scilly! Brilliant to get the camera rolling with Isles of Scilly IFCA Marine Vertebrate MSc (U of Exeter) Carrie Bristow @OwenExeter

Great to see Crawfish on our Baited Remote Underwater Video #crawfish #conservation #MPA #MPASuccess #SpinyLobster

It’s been a great week to start deployments of carbon fibre stereo BRUVs from Meeuwig lab @ExeterMarine that will allow us to not only determine species abundance and diversity but also accurately measure the size of species seen on camera 🦈 🐠 🦞 🦭

We have available a few of these stickers which can be placed on any flat surface on a boat to aid in measuring catches. Please let us know if you would like one! 🙋🏼‍♀️ #minimumsize #fisheriesmanagement #islesofscillyfishing #scillyfishing

Super cool BRUV footage reviewed today with so many beautiful UK reef species to record! It's been a really rewarding few weeks collecting data, working as a team and getting some great results 🌊🦈 @OwenExeter Adam Smith sarah elizabeth Marine Vertebrate MSc (U of Exeter)

Been back almost two weeks now and seriously missing the Scillies! What a fantastic month of data collection using #bruvs on #rockyreef. Can’t wait to dig into the data and see what we found! Isles of Scilly IFCA Carrie Bristow @OwenExeter sarah elizabeth
