I love it when you get a nice surprise in @NAFCShetland drop-down video surveys. Spotted off #Shetland, shame we didn’t capture the whole animal. Any ideas on ID? Thornback maybe? #NAFCresearch #UHIresearch #ThinkUHI #marinesurveys #elasmobranchsareamazing

This is possibly the saddest map I have seen in a while. Born and raised in #Africa, this makes my heart bleed. It hurts to see such an amazing continent being left behind. Taken from Travelling Tabby website. Have a look, it’s pretty good! #COVID19 #VaccinationCovid World Health Organization (WHO)

Good morning #map Monday, with #Shetland in blue! #ShetlandUHI #ThinkUHI @ShetlandUHI Shetland Islands Council Promote Shetland Shetland News

We've launched a new series, Fishy Falsehoods, to debunk some of the really gratuitous myths about the fishing industry that pop up with unerring regularity in the media and academia. Here's a link to the first paper. Please do share. shetlandfishermen.com/site/assets/fi…

I am moving to #bluesky. Musk has destroyed #twitter. I'm not a big tweeter but there are too many adds and irrelevant content since the change to x. Looking forward to starting fresh and hopefully see you all there.
