Boat work! Did grab sampling with a Van Veen grab and then used a beam trawl to collect some specimens to analyse in the lab. Great fun and an opportunity for some invaluable experience on the boats. #PlyMBIO

Examining the specimens we collected earlier in the week. Highlights included the egg case of a netted dog whelk attached to the shell of a Turritellinella tricarinata, an invasive polychaete called Sternaspis scutata and a very tiny gem anemone #PlyMBIO

#Somewhereovertherainbow We WILL sample the #plankton of #Plymouth . #uniplym #plymbio

Slowly improving my seaweed pressing! Very happy with my first series of prints! #algae #seaweed #plyMBIO #marinebiology

Day 3 of field week: look at Leila Scheltema’s excitement as we identified species from ROV stills. Who knew sitting inside on a computer could actually be fun! #plymbio

Racing to find some awesome species at the bottom of the sound! #plymbio MBO field week has been amazing!

Day 4 of #Fieldweek 🙌🏻 went trawling today to collect benthic organisms 🦀 back at the lab now to identify them!! #PlyMBIO

Not very neat, but very useful! My annotated drawings of fish from our #MBIO228 practical today. #plyMBIO #teleost 🐟📝

Field week was a blast. This was day 5 over on #mountbatten , we had sun, hail, wind and many many laughs. Found some brilliant organisms. We have had such a fantastic field week exploring the shores and waters of #plymouthsound .

Yesterday was estuarine environment, today rocky shores. #MBioRoscoff going well so far! #PlyMBio

Marine Biology and Oceanography Field Week Summed up in a Video! A great week of exploring Plymouth sound! Thanks everyone! Yes...that is the instrumental version of ‘Play that funky music” I was not sure what tune to put under a uni video... #plymbio

Hermit crabs trawled from the fjord today facing each other off in the lab #MBOSweden #PlymUni #PlyMBIO Laura Rudd Holly Morgan

Wet and windy end to #FieldWeek 🌧 but still enjoyable!! Spent the day searching for and identifying Gastropods in rock pools 🐚 it was a good end to the week! #PlyMBIO

Wet and windy day at Mount Batten but worth it for the cool sea critters we found in the rock pools! 😎🦀🐟 Even found a perfect limpet home scar! #PlyMBIO #marinebiology #limpets

Analysing the local suspended sediment concentration. Should be interesting #PlyMBIO
