• Mangroves can trap these plastics and delay the release of plastics to the sea.
• Recovery of trapped plastics in mangroves can prevent eventual release to the sea.

Bear and wolf in Devon! Ok, circus bear probably...

Found some purple jellydisc (I think), with a nice reflection, in the woods this weekend. Also managed to fix the access track after a fallen alder destroyed some of it.

Assessment of trawling impacts on 10 Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem indicator taxa (e.g. cold-water corals) across New Zealand waters show that 30 years of trawling reduced VME area by 20.8 %, with losses up to 40.7 % in some bioregions.

At least 135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians had been held at notorious Israeli jail, say Gaza officials Documents indicate they came from Sde Teiman, which already faces allegations of torture and unlawful deaths

At least 135 Palestinian bodies mutilated by the Israeli army returned to Gaza.

Yet there is infinitely more outrage over racist Israeli football hooligans being barred from Birmingham's streets.

The world has been turned on its head.

The talk is about to start, please join if you're interested.

A woman in water proofs is looking out over the ocean using a camera with a very large telescope lens.

Two people are standing behind a table with exhibition material from Sea Trust Wales.

Ruth is standing at the top of cliff looking out over the ocean and helping release tagged sea birds.

A crab is looking angrily into the camera.

Ruth Clarke, a third year Marine Biology and Oceanography student at SOS, is currently doing a placement year with @seatrustwales.bsky.social in Pembrokeshire to gain wider skills in conservation related topics.

People wearing life jackets are sitting in an open boat looking at samples taken from the sea. The sea is calm and teh sky is blue behind them.

SOS 3rd year marine biology students enjoyed their fieldwork at the Virginia Institute for Marine Science earlier this month. The weather was almost as good as in North Wales at the time...

Trashfree trails staff standing at the edge of a wooded area with a sign explaing what TFT is about: reconnect people with nature through the simple yet meaningful act of removing single use pollution from wild places.

Happy TFT staff member Jasmine in their gazebo promoting the work of the foundation.

Chloe Macleavy and Jasmine Scott-Dickins are both studying Marine Biology at SOS and are currently doing their placement year as research officers with Trashfree Trails (TFT). At the moment they are planning a litter research fieldwork day which will take place in Newborough Nature reserve.

A picture of sandy beach flanked by rocky outcrops on both sides. The sun is shining, the sky is blue with a few clouds, and the sea is calm.

A great day for the annual SOS beach trip with the new undergraduate students @bangoruniversity.bsky.social. Sandcastles were built, beach pictionary played, and much fun had by students new and old, and staff.

As Welcome Week, in great weather (the sun always shines in north Wales!), is drawing to a close we thank the SOS peer guides for their efforts. They are the friendly faces behind Welcome Week and put a lot of work in to make the freshers (aka The Peerlings) feel at home.
