I love a beach clean 🚮🏖️ Grab a friend like @maddydemarchis.bsky.social and head out today! #beachclean #livingseasnotlitteredseas

How amazing is this?!?!?! 🤩 The #DolphinDietDetectives team are having a great year ... and yes I know this isn't a dolphin! 🐬🦈

We're The Wildlife Trust of South & West Wales! We're on a mission to rebuild biodiversity and connect people with nature! Follow us to stay up to date with crucial conservation updates, exciting events and wonderful wildlife content from South & West Wales. 📸Joshua Copping

Staff meetings the @wtsww.bsky.social way. Thank you @sarahperry.bsky.social for the big @cbmwc.bsky.social welcome and dolphin sightings on every trip!

A fun few days with the #DolphinDietDetectives team 🤩🐬

Diving into #BritishScienceWeek with our dolphin diets project at @aberuni.bsky.social showcasing DNA extractions, fish otoliths, dolphin skulls, and learning about echolocation, marine food chains and much more! @cbmwc.bsky.social @lauracaryse.bsky.social @sarahperry.bsky.social 🐬🐠🦑🐚🧬

🤩 Yesterday our #MarineConservation team were joined by a group of Dolphin Detectives 🐬🧐 🐦 We spotted plenty of seabirds and one bottlenose dolphin! 👀 #CommunityEngagement #DolphinWatch #NatureNetworksFund

🤩On Saturday our #MarineConservation team were joined by Marine Conservation & Conservation societies from @aberuni.bsky.social 📝👊 🐬 They learnt about our #DolphinDietDetective project & conducted dolphin watch surveys, bottlenose dolphin photo ID & BRUVs footage analysis 🕵️‍♀️ #CommunityEngagement

Looking forward to our #DolphinDietDetectives engagement events this year 🤩🐬

🔬 Excited to bring hands-on DNA science to outreach events this year with the Bento Lab a portable DNA workstation! 🧬It'll give students a chance to extract eDNA, run PCRs, & visualize DNA bands—inspiring future scientists! 🌊🐬 #STEM #Outreach #MarineScience #DNA #eDNA #AberUni #CBMWC

Happy #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience 👩🏻‍🔬👊 ✨ I have the best job @cbmwc.bsky.social educating people about our amazing marine wildlife 🐬🦭🦀🐠🐧🐙🦈🐢🐋 I’m also getting the chance to inspire the next generation of #WomenInStem 👯‍♀️ #MarineConservation #ScienceCommunication

Join the #podsquad and contribute to the vital marine conservation work @cbmwc.bsky.social 🐬 #ConservationJob #PaidInternship #NewQuay

At a crucial time for wildlife it's good to see leadership from UK Government to protect more species from ivory trade🦛 We urge them to press ahead with further international nature work including introducing regulations on forest risk commodities🌍 Read more👇 www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏻On Saturday we ran a #LivingSeas Youth Forum Social to welcome new members to the groups 💙 We created hanging decorations and wildlife flower seed bombs 🐚🌿ran a scavenger hunt on the beach 🏖️ and played marine science games🐬 #YouthWork #MarineConservation #YoungConservationists

Spent the morning crafting with our #LivingSeas Youth Forum @cbmwc.bsky.social 🐚🎨 I’m quite proud of this creation 😂 #SeasideCrafts #YouthWork

‘Awe-inspiring and harrowing’: how two orcas with a taste for liver decimated the great white shark capital of the world

We're live on Bluesky! 🦋 Here we’ll be sharing how you can join us in making Wales a more beautiful place - posting updates on our work, environmental policies, current affairs and sharing photos from across our projects and programmes! Give us a warm welcome by liking and sharing this post 💚

What do you do when an orca eats your research project? Why, you continue tracking of course! #trackingNotSlacking 🌊 New paper describes how orcas catch bluefin tuna, and shows the longest high-resolution tracking of an orca ever! @exetermarine.bsky.social 🦑🐠🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

✨Check out this timelapse of a couple of marine mammal surveys conducted during October as part of our #NatureNetworks funded project 📝🛥️ 🙏 A huge thanks to our team, surveys provide valuable information to increase understanding of Cardigan Bay’s marine wildlife!💙 #MarineMammalScience #MarineLife

Retro is in, even in the ocean. The orcas are once again wearing salmon hats www.newscientist.com/article/2457...

‘Catastrophic’ marine heatwaves are killing sealife and causing mass disruption to UK fisheries

Plastic not fantastic! Nanoplastics could be reducing the amount of carbon Antarctic krill can store by 27% 😰 Antarctic krill are #climate heroes, storing 20m+ tonnes of carbon per year: ☘️ Phytoplankton absorb CO₂ 🦐 Krill eat the tiny plants 💩 Their poo sinks to the deep ocean ♻️ This locks away CO₂

It was wild out west this morning! ⚡️🌩️🌨️❄️🥶⛸️ Lightning caught on the @cbmwc.bsky.social #DolphinWatchLive stream - catch up on YouTube 👉 m.youtube.com/cbmwc #WildWeather #CardiganBay #Wales #SeaView #Lightning
