Still not getting much time on this, but had to share a positive recent beachcomber find- Atrina fragilis, the gorgeous fan mussel- from Magilligan strand.
These have all but completely disappeared from NI waters, and like many of our bivalves, should play a vital role in ecosystem health 🌊πŸ¦ͺ

New paper out TODAY in @consletters.bsky.social led by Dr Philine zu Ermgassen. Applying the IUCN #Ecosystem #RedListing criteria to historical & recent data, we find that European native oysters (O. edulis) are #Collapsed. Open access paper at lnkd.in/dJbbkzEa. Image: Maria Eggertsen

The Most DISGUSTING BEACH In Northern Ireland (Hidden for 50 years)
YouTube video by Stephen J Reid The Most DISGUSTING BEACH In Northern Ireland (Hidden for 50 years)

A superb summary of #waterquality issues affecting NI's #marine environment. As well as dealing with the cause (sewage infrastructure investment), we need to value the #ecosystemservices of #shellfish & potential of coastal restoration as a #naturebasedsolution

Just been reading this excellent paper on making #MPAs more effective & equitable using the #MPAGuide, love the infographics on how to assess existing MPAs- something we should be considering locally
