Yesterday at the European Researchers' Night we shared a marine Jenga game 🐟🌊🐳 Bit by bit, balance is lost... until the tower falls. A fun way to show kids how fragile ecosystems are! @ebdonana.bsky.social @manuelagforero.bsky.social

On our final morning in the Chafarinas Islands, we cleaned a tiny plastic-choked beach near a Shearwater colony. Limited time, limited space, but 7 bags of litter removed. A small act, but every gesture counts... @ebdonana.bsky.social @manuelagforero.bsky.social @sanchezmarta.bsky.social

2025 shearwater team at Chafarinas island: Letizia Championi and @catarinalopes90.bsky.social (marine biologist, conservation, human impact) working for #PlanComplementarioBiodiversidadAndaluz; Fernando Ibáñez, field technician at @ebdonana.bsky.social

Shearwater team working at Chafarinas Islands to deploy GPS and taking blood and feather samples to study foraging and interaction with fisheries in the project #PlanComplementarioBiodiversidadAndaluz @catarinalopes90.bsky.social @jnavarro.bsky.social

Our gratitude to @csic.es for this prize to the Art and Science FECYT project #Plastisfera about #plastic impact in birds. #IsoPlastic (PID 2022-140057NB-100) MICIU @juliancap.bsky.social @victormartinvel.bsky.social @catarinalopes90.bsky.social @casacienciasevcsic.bsky.social @ebdonana.bsky.social

Today, World #Ocean Day, we want to remember that more than 90% of seabirds contain plastic in their stomachs and thousands of them die every year because of it. #IsoPlastic PID 2022-140057NB-100 MICIU @ebdonana.bsky.social @juliancap.bsky.social @catarinalopes90.bsky.social

This cattle egret, photographed and GPS-tagged by @juanma-pg.bsky.social travels every day from the breeding colony to a landfill #IsoPlastic @ebdonana.bsky.social @catarinalopes90.bsky.social @juliancap.bsky.social @manuelagforero.bsky.social @drandygreen.bsky.social @victormartinvel.bsky.social

Some picture of the feeding travels of Audouin gulls tagged with GPS at Culatra Island (Portugal). They followed us to Doñana coast….!!! @sanchezmarta.bsky.social @ebdonana.bsky.social @catarinalopes90.bsky.social @jnavarro.bsky.social

Estas campañas se han llevado a cabo dentro del proyecto #IsoPlastic del Plan Nacional de Investigación y del #PlanComplementarioBiodiversidadAndaluz, financiado por la UE a través de los fondos #NextGenerationEU, el @cienciagob.bsky.social y la Junta de Andalucía. @manuelagforero.bsky.social

Tagging with GPSs Audouin gulls at Cullatra Island (Portugal) with Vitor H Pavia (U. Coimbra), will give us good data on the interaction with fisheries, during breeding, migration and wintering @ebdonana.bsky.social @catarinalopes90.bsky.social @jnavarro.bsky.social @joangimenez.bsky.social

We continue with GPS tagging of cattle egrets to understand their interaction with plastic #IsoPlastic project (PID 2022-140057NB-100) AEI @ageinves.bsky.social MICIU @ebdonana.bsky.social @catarinalopes90.bsky.social @victormartinvel.bsky.social @manuelagforero.bsky.social @drandygreen.bsky.social

A stark reminder of how deeply #plastic pollution has embedded itself into #seabird breeding sites. A #yellowLeggedGull nest in Cadiz bay. #IsoPlastic (PID 2022-140057NB-100) @ebdonana.bsky.social @juliancap.bsky.social @catarinalopes90.bsky.social @drandygreen.bsky.social @pacohortas.bsky.social

Back from fieldwork on the Chafarinas Islands! Sampling and GPS-tracking of yellow-legged #gulls for #PCBio and #IsoPlastic projects. Grateful to the amazing team! @ebdonana.bsky.social @victormartinvel.bsky.social @jnavarro.bsky.social @sanchezmarta.bsky.social

Por la boca muere el pez. Y las aves también. Esta gaviota patiamarilla murió enredada en un anzuelo con forma de pez, en las Islas Chafarinas. Encontrada durante una campaña de muestreo y marcaje del proyecto #IsoPlastic @ebdonana.bsky.social @catarinalopes90.bsky.social

Great talk of our phd student Manuel Serrano about #seabirds as biovectors of #plastics for the @seobirdlife.bsky.social congress 👏🏼👏🏼 #IsoPlastic project @drandygreen.bsky.social @victormartinvel.bsky.social @juliancap.bsky.social @catarinalopes90.bsky.social

Yellow-legged gulls are ingesting huge amounts of plastics because it is mixed with organic waste in landfills and other anthropogenic areas. Let’s recycle! #IsoPlastic @ebdonana.bsky.social @catarinalopes90.bsky.social @theseabirdgroup.bsky.social @juliancap.bsky.social @drandygreen.bsky.social

Are plastics ingested by yellow-legged gulls impacting digestive system at histological level? We are exploring this and other related questions in the #IsoPlastic project @catarinalopes90.bsky.social @drandygreen.bsky.social @seobirdlife.bsky.social @juliancap.bsky.social @ebdonana.bsky.social

A gut punch for anyone working in wildlife ecology: this is a white stork's regurgitate, collected today in SW Spain, filled with rubber bands. Seeing this impact on animals firsthand is devastating, and far too common #IsoPlastic #PlasticPollution @sanchezmarta.bsky.social @ebdonana.bsky.social

When #plastic travels to the wrong place. This is not a dump but a white stork nest 😕 #IsoPlastic project @ebdonana.bsky.social @catarinalopes90.bsky.social @victormartinvel.bsky.social @juliancap.bsky.social @drandygreen.bsky.social

After a little 10km stroll, let's just appreciate how beautiful Seville is... 🇪🇸😊
