SEACAMS2

Of course we nearly forgot, an enormous thank-you to all of the incredible support and funding from @prifysgolbangor @BangorUni, @SwanseaUni, and last but not least @wefowales @wefocymru ! Diolch pawb a hwyl am y tro! Goodbye for now!

113 Research projects, 50 companies, 11 years and countless adventures later, and SEACAMS2 officially comes to a close! It's been emotional! Thanks to all staff and collaborators for their incredible contributions to these world leading projects, diolch yn fawr! x

Great time at the @MarineCymru 2022 conference, amazing things happening in Wales! Thanks for everyone that dropped by our session, diolch! #MEW2022

Seacams2 researchers ending with a bang at @MarineCymru 2022 conference, with project overviews and Q&As. Drop by the studio rooms!

Six key lessons from our seagrass restoration work in Wales covered in my talk at #coastalfutures22 #generationrestoration @ProjectSeagrass 1. Do your homework 2. Engagement and compromise 3. Persistence 4. Learn from mistakes 5. Keep learning 6. Teamwork youtube.com/watch?v=Sa8ymZ…

@SEACAMS2 & @CGGcompany are collaborating to better understand how infrastructure like renewable energy devices may interact with the seabed and its inhabitants, from tiny foraminifera and amphipods to fish and scallops, and how best to measure any changes.@wefocymru #COP26

Mae @SEACAMS2 ac @CGGcompany yn cydweithio i ddeall yn well sut y gall isadeiledd fel dyfeisiau ynni adnewyddol effeithio ar wely'r môr a'i breswylwyr, o fforaminiffera a deudroediaid bychain i bysgod a chregyn bylchog, a sut orau i fesur unrhyw newidiadau. @wefocymru #COP26

It is #Adaptation, Loss and Damage day at #COP26. Did You Know… At CGG Environmental Science, we are working with SEACAMS2 at @BangorUni to integrate lab-based analysis with machine learning-led object detection to analyse marine species and habitats on the seafloor.

I'll be speaking about Welsh research on wildlife interactions with marine renewable energy on behalf of @SEACAMS2 at the energy transitions session at #COP26 Cymru on 4th Nov. Tune in at the link below.

It was great to have @ocean_tea_ helping with our lab work over the last few weeks through a paid @sos_bangor_uni summer internship. She helped process seabed samples collected from the #RVPrinceMadog. Lots of amphipods to test our ID skills on (note the colours are not natural!)

Roedd yn wych cael @ocean_tea_ i helpu gyda'n gwaith labordy dros yr wythnosau diwethaf trwy interniaeth haf @GEigion . Helpodd i brosesu samplau o wely'r môr a gasglwyd gan y #RVPrinceMadog. Llawer o amffipodau i roi ein sgiliau adnabod ar brawf.

Yesterday we attended the interesting @SEACAMS2 advisory group meeting. The project specialises in commercial application of research & innovation in the Marine Renewable Industry. #5 of #26forCOP26 #WeSupportMarineEnergy

First leg of our final research cruise was very successful with camera, grab, beam trawl and acoustic sampling around #Anglesey. Now we are sailing further afield for more #seabed and sub-bottom surveys. @wefowales @sos_bangor_uni @TimothyWhitton @TDJ_marine

Ending a good first day of sampling

Good bye Menai Bridge for the final @SEACAMS2 Prince Madog cruise. We're undertaking collaborative research with businesses to support the development of the Marine Renewable sector in Wales. @TimothyWhitton and @TDJ_marine leading first part of cruise.

Following a successful data collection campaign, we are delighted to be working with @BangorUni on a tidal stream resource assessment for the META tidal test sites - as part of the @SEACAMS2 project. Watch this space for the results of this assessment!

Very proud of our very own @TimothyWhitton for winning the prize for most groundbreaking research to solve an industry problem for the @EIMR2020. Now go and enjoy the bank holiday weekend Tim.
