Our new publication with @strandings.bsky.social & #SMRUsealpred contributors. A first attempt at quantifying grey seal predation of marine mammals and the potential impact on declining harbour seal populatons. Check it out! doi.org/10.1111/1365...

New study led by SMRU's @izzylangley.bsky.social in collaboration with @strandings.bsky.social: evidence for grey seal predation of grey seals, harbour seals and harbour porpoises across Scotland, at levels that could prevent recovery of depleted populations. tinyurl.com/4r3wka6a

Very proud to supervise the brilliant work @philippawright.bsky.social is doing as part of her PhD. 🌟 If you're at CWW, and are interested in the nutritional quality of fish 🐟 around offshore wind farms, reach out to Philippa! @seamammalresearch.bsky.social @smruc.bsky.social @bioss.bsky.social

Great talk by @philippawright.bsky.social at CWW - fish for thought!

📣Announcing the launch of SealMAP: Seal Mapping & Analysis Platform. This SMRU app allows you to explore & download the latest grey & harbour seal distribution maps for Scotland. You can also get estimates of density for your area of interest. Happy mapping! arts.st-andrews.ac.uk/shiny/smru/s... 🦭🗺️

To celebrate the recent International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we spoke with three of our scientists: Magda, Meadhbh, and Sam. Read about their career journeys, inspirations and advice for aspiring scientists here: www.smruconsulting.com/blog/celebra... #womeninscience #wimms

SMRU researchers are appealing for the public to help us understand why UK Harbour seals are in steep decline news.st-andrews.ac.uk/archive/st-a...

We are hiring a Managing Director! Lead our global organisation at the forefront of marine mammal science, with teams in Scotland, the USA, and Canada. Applications close 10 February 25. Learn more: ow.ly/MV5350UKRv7

Great to learn the ins and outs of conferences and thanks to everyone who came for making it a friendly and encouraging place! And the biggest thanks to Philippa, Laia, Sophie, and Alexandra for showing us the ropes and leaving us big boots to fill

Finally, @PhilippaWrigh16 will be talking about the nutritional quality of seal prey species within a developing offshore wind landscape.

And that's a wrap on #UKIRSC25! 🎉 A massive thank you to our wonderful workshop organisers, sponsors, keynote speakers, and most importantly, this year’s presenters and attendees. See you all next year 👀

New #PrePAREDProject outputs from @uniofstandrews.bsky.social + @smruc.bsky.social. Philippa Wright & team have generated >400 new energy density estimates from 29 prey species. This ongoing work aids in assessing impacts of disturbed foraging on marine predators. owecprepared.org/wp-content/u...
