If you feel deep concern at what is unfolding around the world, you are invited to join us outside the Holywood library this evening 1st march 6pm for a short vigil to remember those lost though wars and conflict. We do not take sides we stand on the side of life and dignity for all humans.

Can we still monitor what we can’t access? As MPAs & offshore renewables expand, key scientific surveys will be disrupted. Last week at #WKDISM, experts met to strategize: How do we adapt surveys to continue with our science?https://www.ices.dk/community/groups/Pages/WKDISM.aspx

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
