New sea turtle research! This new study explores how individual green turtles adjust the timing of their nesting patterns in response to warming oceans. Watch the video for more.

NEW RESEARCH: Seamounts are a HUB for sharks! New research on seamounts off Ascension Island has found that there are 41 TIMES the amount of sharks there than in the open ocean, despite no increase in primary productivity.

In the 20 years since the term β€œmicroplastics” was first coined, a growing body of research has consistently shown how pervasive and problematic the pollutants have become. A recent #ScienceReview provides an overview and the progress made in understanding #microplastics.

Conger eels are something of a rarity off East Yorkshire, with only a handful of official recordings between the Wash and Middlesbrough (about 200km of coastline). Luck would have it then, when one photo-bombed a BRUV recording over an inshore wreck earlier this year. πŸ¦‘πŸŒ #ukunderwater

European winter walkers keep πŸ‘€ out. A dead Kemp's Ridley turtle was reported on 13th December at Talacre, North Wales, UK. There will be more.

Covering the global conservation status of sharks and their relatives, the report offers country-specific solutions to conversation action. We're proud that Exeter Marine researchers are contributors, including @kristianmetcalfe.bsky.social and @phildoherty.bsky.social for the Congo chapter. 🦀πŸ§ͺπŸŒπŸ¦‘
