- 🚨 NEW PUBLICATION! 🐳🎉 Our new review paper, now published in Mammal Review, maps the the literature focusing on threats to 19 marine mammal species, to summarise volume of research, and highlight knowledge gaps (for species, locations, threats). Read it here: doi.org/10.1111/mam....
- 🚨NEW PUBLICATION!🛥 64% of vessels operating within Scotland’s Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are not broadcasting AIS, meaning the majority of vessel activity within MPAs is invisible to the most frequently used monitoring and management systems.
- 🐋 FINAL CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS AND CHECKS!🐋 Help us develop a global atlas collating worldwide examples of the variety of ways citizen and community scientists have contributed to marine mammal research! Check out the current map here: bit.ly/CitSciMap And read below for submission info 🌊
- FINAL CALL FOR ABSTRACTS Want to share your marine mammal research at one of Scotland's biggest scientific conferences? Submit an abstract to present at the MASTS @mastscot.bsky.social Annual Science Meeting! More info here: masts.ac.uk/annual-scien... Look forward to seeing you there! 🐳🌊
- 🦭🐳CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS! We are working to collate all examples of ways citizen and community scientist initiatives contribute to marine mammal science, and are collating this into an interactive map and a peer review publication! And we need YOU! 🫵📜🗺️ 🧵1/4
- 🌊🚤Excited to share our latest paper, showing the types of vessels overlapping and interacting with marine mammals around Scotland, highlighting how to reduce your disturbance (check out the @naturescot.bsky.social Scottish Marine Wildlife Watching Code)🐳🚢 Read it here: doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...
- Reposted by Emily Hague 🐳Marine mammals in the anthropocene - systematic review of publications on threats to marine mammals by @emily-hague.bsky.social identifies key knowledge gaps - also @seamammalresearch.bsky.social #2 in the contributions league table after NOAA! #ECSconference2025 🦑🐋🧪
- 🐋💙 Today I'm giving a talk on some of my work at the European Cetacean Society, in the Azores 🗺🌊 Over 700 people are here to discuss all things marine mammals, it's so brilliant to be amongst so many incredible people, and hear talks from lifelong heroes of mine 😁💙🐋 @uhishetland.bsky.social
- ⚓ NEW PUBLICATION! Thrilled that the first paper of the Scottish Vessel Project is now published in Marine Policy showing how AIS data only represents ~40% of coastal vessel traffic around Scotland. 🚤 Why is this important? Read below: 👇⛴ 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...

- 🌊 Really looking forward to giving a Winter Webinar this week on why communities count when it comes to cetacean conservation! 🐳 Hear more about the Scottish Vessel Project, BLUE CONNECT, IMMAs and more.. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cetacean-c... @heriotwattuni.bsky.social @uhishetland.bsky.social
- The best start to the #MarineForum2025 - a behind the scenes tour of the National Museums Scotland collection, then a meeting with many of the BLUE CONNECT project team to plot ideas of what could be ahead for the next few years 🥰🐳🐬🦭 Work rarely feels like work with colleagues as awesome as this! 🙏🏼🥰
- Feeling energised after a week of in-person meetings with lovely humans (@strandings.bsky.social, WDC 🐳) to formulate plans for the BLUE CONNECT project, and then attending the UHI Research Conference at @uhiinverness.bsky.social to get to know my new UHI colleagues 🥰🩵🏔🌊!
- Delighted to be starting 2025 by going full time with this awesome team 😊🤗🐳 Look forward to what we manage to achieve this year! 💫✨️🌟
