With the rapid expansion of #OffshoreWindFarms - in efforts to meet #NetZero targets - how can we ensure these are delivered sustainably? Fantastic piece in the Oceanographic Magazine on newly funded projects EQUIFy and Frontline - read more here: https://lnkd.in/ewZW4f3q EQUIFy and FrontLine have been chosen to address the challenges set by NERC: Natural Environment Research Council and The Crown Estate research programme ‘Ecological Effects of Floating Offshore Wind (ECOFlow)‘.

Sign up for the free webinar: 'Climate-smart Marine Spatial Planning as an opportunity for climate action for people and nature', featuring our Professor Ana Queirós. Ana will be sharing strategies for integrating climate adaptation into sustainable ocean planning. Her talk will include real-world examples of science-policy collaboration, making this session truly unmissable. ⏰ December 10, 2024, 14:30 CET 💻 Register via Zoom here: https://lnkd.in/dUCDg2s8 ℹ️ More information and full abstract: https://lnkd.in/dSwBf7rr Organised by our friends at Decade Collaborative Centre for Coastal Resilience, alongside CMCC Foundation - Centro Euro Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici and Deltares. #CoastalResilience #ClimateAction #OceanPlanning #Webinar #ClimateSmart #MarineSpatialPlanning

Today's the day! The Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) research cruise sets sail on a 5-week voyage from Southampton to Argentina, taking an abundance of marine measurements along the way: Find out more: https://lnkd.in/e8Kn2-qZ Scientists onboard, including PML's Dr Gavin Tilstone will be sharing updates from the ship on the new AMT LinkedIn page here: Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) The UN Ocean Decade-endorsed Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) is a research programme that samples the open ocean between the UK and the South Atlantic. This research cruise, led by Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) and funded by NERC: Natural Environment Research Council’s National Capability, is a highly important expedition for the marine science community as it collects samples along the length of the Atlantic, producing a unique dataset and the opportunity to monitor changes in this expansive ocean.

Delighted to announce that we're a leading partner in a new programme focused on enhancing understanding of how #UK #MarineEcosystems may respond to future expansion of floating #OffshoreWindfarms (FLOW). Two new pioneering projects, named EQUIFy and FrontLine, have been chosen to address the challenges set by NERC: Natural Environment Research Council and The Crown Estate research programme ‘Ecological Effects of Floating Offshore Wind (ECOFlow)‘. This programme is focused on delivering the critical evidence needs of government and industry required to inform policy and decision making on planned large-scale expansion of FLOW.

So proud of Anneliese Hodge (PhD researcher with ourselves and the University of Plymouth) who has been busy at multiple events in recent months (including this one pictured at The Box, Plymouth!) delivering the #science on the effects of #sunscreens on the marine environment. #DidYouKnow, approx. 25% of the #sunscreen we apply to our skin washes off within 20 minutes of submersion?

We join more than 60 leading ocean organisations across the world in signing the #COP29 Baku Ocean Declaration; highlighting the importance of #OceanMonitoring for predicting future #warming, assessing #emissions reductions and developing effective #ClimateAdaptation plans: https://lnkd.in/e7m-pN3p The Baku Ocean Declaration has been coordinated by US-based Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Scripps Institution of Oceanography and supported by partner institutes and organisations from across the world

Storm Bert has been battering our buoys this weekend with sustained gusts of over 60 knots and maximum wave heights reported by the E1 buoy of over 7m. A short time lapse from the L4 Buoy cameras shows the conditions offshore, and you can spot our APICS buoy in the waves. The Western Channel Observatory is benefited from these autonomous platforms, which make valuable measurements 24 hours a day and even through the harshest of storms.
