Come see our new Living Seawalls in #Cobh #Cork! 1st in Ireland 🇮🇪. #Global experiment 🌍 started in #Sydney 🇦🇺. Huge thanks to HEA funding, @uccresearch.bsky.social, #PortOfCork for support & Inland & Coastal Marinas for installation. Looking forward to seeing what marine life colonises 🦀🪸🐚🦐🦞🐟🌊.

Well done to Franz Bauer for collecting the 2 year dataset on the biodiversity colonising the Living Seawalls in Plymouth. Fucoid algae continues to dominate. 🤎 Many new species moving in..🦀🐌🪸

On this day in 1916, Ernest #Shackleton, aboard the Yelcho, rescued his 22 men from Elephant Island in the Antarctic. Did you know that his men were cooking #LIMPETS the moment they realised they were being rescued? Perhaps the greatest survival story of all time! 🦸‍♂️🙌

Such a privilege to get a sneak preview of the MASSIVE #EcoShoreline at Lantau, Hong Kong. 🇭🇰 Thanks to Prof Kenny Leung, Aecom, CEDD for bringing us on the tour. Scaled up installation. 📏 🐚🦪🌳 #mangrove #hybrid #EcoEngineering @theabradford.bsky.social

Thank you Kenny Leung & team for the opportunity to showcase the overlooked roles of #Limpets as ecosystem engineers & ecosystem service providers at the 3rd BeCome Meeting @ CityU Hong Kong. So much more than just a #Grazer! Like a #DoubleAgent hiding in plain sight. #Sculptor #Facilitator #Food

The humble #limpet holding its own against the more classically “beautiful” cowrie. 😍💪🐚 #Coron, Philippines 🇵🇭. “A marine biologist is never on holidays” (James Bond, 1977).

Huge thank you to placement student Jimi Boyd from @plymuni.bsky.social for conducting surveys of #sandmartins using wall cracks in River Lee. Cork. 🐦‍⬛🪺🏙️ #urban #ecology.

Gonna be a good haul of fruit this year. Way better than than last year. 🌳Sloes, plums & apples all coming along very nicely indeed. 🍏🍎🫐 About 22 months since grass was cut…. #Rewilding #WestCork

Just out! 10-yr labour of love exploring how Plymouth’s coastline transformed over centuries by land reclamation & how changes are often forgotten. Shout out to incredible crack team: historians, geologists, remote sensors, archaeologists, artists, ecologists🧠🌍🎨 www.taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/1...
