These beautiful sand dunes (just down the coast from one of my seagrass field sites) are likely to be turned into *yet another* golf course Sign to try to prevent this if you wish 👇

I don't normally share things like this on here, but I also really hate it when billionaires have power to destroy natural environments for their own gain, especially in such important wilderness in #Scotland. Please read & sign if you wish greens.scot/savecoullinks @scottishgreens

Wonderful time helping out at @Seawilding’s WildSeas Weekend, displaying some of the PhD work happening at Loch Craignish Great to see people of all ages engrossed in the sounds of seagrass and oyster reefs (and colouring!) We also managed to squeeze in some sunny fieldwork ☀️

We also tapped into the underwater soundscape, taking some sound recordings to listen for crab crunches and fish grunts… very excited to look at that data! Thanks to @OpenAcoustics #audiomoths !

Had a stunningly sunny couple of weeks of fieldwork on the #Kintyre Peninsula! We investigated the invertebrate and fish diversity supported by #seagrass, and trialled a new method for monitoring #otters and birds hunting in seagrass

#Seagrass restoration in the #FirthofForth is officially underway! It was such a treat to help inject seeds into the mudflats - now we just have to wait patiently for them to germinate🌱 Huge congrats to the Restoration Forth team who organised this so elegantly 👏

Thought I'd share some of the footage from my baited camera surveys this summer... Two curious spiny dogfish in a seagrass meadow in the south of Skye - aren't they cute?! #spurdog in #seagrass captured by a #BRUV
