Ocean with David Attenborough hits cinemas from May 8th! 🌊

The film takes us on a journey of discovery through our oceans as you’ve never seen them before.

Here's a sneak peek. 👀

Pleased to represent @exeter.ac.uk whilst commenting on the potential environmental impacts of the tragic North Sea ship collision on BBC Breakfast this morning.

@uniexecec.bsky.social @exetermarine.bsky.social #ExeterMarine

I am deeply concerned to hear of the #NorthSea collision between an oil tanker and a cargo vessel. My first thoughts are with the vessels crews and their families but as a marine biologist from #Lincolnshire I am also very worried about the impact on vulnerable marine species.

Here we report on the sudden seasonal occurrence of humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae within the Firth of Forth, Scotland, UK over the winter months of 2017 and 2018. Sightings and photographs co...

Why humpback whales are flocking to the UK Sightings of humpback whales cruising the British coast are rising – and causing debate amongst conservationists researching the cause

I'm pleased to see some of my research, in collaboration with @emilygcunningham.bsky.social , Gemma Halstead and Kate O'Neil featured in this great piece in the Telegraph by @joeshute.bsky.social

A fantastic few days on the water with my marine biology students @exetermarine.bsky.social thanks to Cornwall IFCA.

I'm so grateful to have such a great class of students, all so passionate about our ocean.

I'm so proud of @emilygcunningham.bsky.social on being awarded an MBE for services to Marine Conservation.

I'm really looking forward to co-supervising student projects with Emily, an Hon. Research Fellow @exetermarine.bsky.social, in 2025.

#ExeterMarine #MBE #NewYear @uniexecec.bsky.social

I've seen you work so hard for out Ocean. This is so well deserved.

I’m honoured (!) to have been awarded an MBE in the King’s New Year Honours List 🎖️

“For services to Marine Conservation and Coastal Communities” 🌊

Marine conservation has been my life, passion and mission for over 20 years and to be recognised in this way means the world! 🥰

Ship collision risk threatens whales across the world’s oceans After the near-complete cessation of commercial whaling, ship collisions have emerged as a primary threat to large whales, but knowledge of collision risk is lacking across most of the world’s oceans....

Beautiful paper about the global danger of ship strikes for large #whales and the value of slowing down shipping. @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social focussed on more local #SalishSea dangers for whales and shipping. kudos anna nisi, @trevorabranch.bsky.social, team.

A wonderful start to #Christmas morning, watching #dolphins in Falmouth Bay with @emilygcunningham.bsky.social

It's called a Sea Pig.

Perhaps not all are cute...

We probably know of the existence of all the large animals now. However, we still don't know much about how they live, how they hunt and where they go, especially for deep sea animals.

What does a #Christmas tree look like in a marine biologist household? Full of sea creatures of course!

Sharks eating dinosaurs! At the charming National Museum in Prague.
Totally morbid paleoart. But based on one of the few Czech dinosaur fossils, an ornithopod bone crisscrossed with the razor blade bites of sharks.

Here are some of my favourite finds and your regular reminder that UK seas are AMAZING 😁🌊

Saving bluefin tuna: The sushi delicacy threatened by climate change Once pushed to the brink of extinction by overfishing, bluefin tuna has experienced a spectacular rebound in recent years. But can it survive the onslaught of climate change?

Nice write up including our recent bluefin #tuna #otolith metabolic rate and climate work on the BBC (thanks Isabelle Gerretson) www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Could this be the longest recorded Humpback #Whale migration ever recorded? A male whale has been resighted off #Tanzania in 2019 after first being seen off #Colombia in 2013. Read the study here: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Three new tagged pups were released early last week. Happy to report that they are doing fine after the storm ⛈️💨🌊
