SMRU Instrumentation

Great to see the use of SMRU Instrumentation tags on grey and harbour seals published in this recent paper by SMRU researchers @mattidcarter.bsky.social and @djfrussell.bsky.social 🦭🛰️

The work combined haulout counts and data from >840 seals tagged with @smruinstrument.bsky.social GPS devices, tracked in 7 European countries to generate at-sea density on country- and shelf-wide scales.

At‐sea distribution of seals on the Northwest European Shelf: Towards transboundary conservation and management This study provides the first comprehensive, regionally scalable distribution estimates for pinnipeds across the NWES and its constituent countries. The modelling framework is adaptable to other cent....

New @jappliedecology.bsky.social paper: SMRU researchers @mattidcarter.bsky.social & @djfrussell.bsky.social led a large collaborative team to map the distribution of grey and harbour seals at sea across the Northwest European Shelf 🦭 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

A much nicer day today for some #marine #science with @uniofstandrews.bsky.social students at the @seamammalresearch.bsky.social.
@smruinstrument.bsky.social tags being used again.
Learning about #oceanography and #ecosystem #management.

Great to see SMRU Instrumentation tags being used as CTDs for teaching @uniofstandrews.bsky.social with @oceanlars.bsky.social 🌊📡

Brilliant to hear @oceanlars.bsky.social speak at Discovery Point in Dundee this weekend on 'Marine Animals as Ocean Scientists’.
He shared how SMRU Instrumentation tags are helping turn seals into ocean data collectors. 🦭📡
