Amazing #PHD at The Lyell Centre, @heriotwattuni.bsky.social aiming to improve our understanding of the sustainability of Nephrops (scampi) fishing in UK waters Quantifying the environmental impacts of bottom trawling for Nephrops at Heriot-Watt University on FindAPhD.com - deadline 18th July
Advert for Research Fellow post including remote and AUV-based sensing of ocean dynamics to understand impacts of floating offshore wind on fronts and other key ecosystem drivers. It shows an AUV and underwater plankton imaging and other sensors.
🦑🌊🧪 Please share among your networks, a Research Fellow post in #Ocean Dynamics and Floating Offshore #Wind Consequences on Key Ecosystem Drivers in the Celtic Sea working with me, @alexnimmosmith.bsky.social & @peterimiller.bsky.social tinyurl.com/44x66b5z #PlanktonImaging #RemoteSensing #AUVs
The Lyell Centre’s Fishing News hall of fame for 2025 😀
Congratulations Dr Simone D’Alessandro on passing his PhD viva bring new essential knowledge on scallop population connectivity in UK waters

Amazing public engagement
Thought of @heriotwattuni.bsky.social Lyell Centre geosciences colleagues when hiking across Sicily … calcite perhaps … near Sutera..volcanic plug…extrusion??
Does anyone know the collective name for a herd of trainspotters….a steam?
Fresh out of fisheries science meeting yesterday - all the scientists have left X … but we’ve left our fishing audience behind…. I feel an article in Fishing News beckons
Sounds like there is a paper in that idea if a group of us got together to put those experiences on paper
@juliapantin.bsky.social hi long time no hear… are u still with DFO
Hadn’t thought about that…. Do you mean like a thought piece on ‘how to’
Sad to hear latest USA madness and immoral actions….I am taking my course of protest and avoiding buying US products starting with #Starbucks
Watch our @ukri.org GCRF project on plastic waste in Vietnam and its impacts on coastal communities youtu.be/8ewPtUufpfE
Great to meet all the international partners from the @ukri.org GCRF plastics programme
On my way to final @ukri.org GCRF plastics programme to represent our www.lessplasticvietnam.com research
Giovanni Codotto talking about his LCA research on seafood production processes and what the consequences might be of moving to eat alternative species @heriotwattuni.bsky.social #fisheries conference
Rosie Ashworth talking about the Lyell Centre @heriotwattuni.bsky.social flapper skate project which has harvested fisher knowledge about the recovery of this species
Josh Lawrence talking about the use of autonomous surface vehicles designed at @heriotwattuni.bsky.social Lyell Centre and Robotarium
Kate Wright @heriotwattuni.bsky.social PhD student base in the Lyell Centre revealing her results on emissions among different sectors of UK fishing
Wendy Chadwick talking about her net zero fishing research at Hull University
Zhiling Liao speaking about the impact of plastic on coastal communities in 3SIP2C @heriotwattuni.bsky.social GCRF project
Packed conference on #fisheries #conservation @heriotwattuni.bsky.social
Catch my interview on @BBCRadio4 on Farming Today asking the question “Is trawling compatible with MPAs”
Today is Day 1 of our third annual #fisheries #conservation conference…66 in person attendees and many others on line @heriotwattuni.bsky.social
Just sharing with @mastscot.bsky.social community my frustration at simplistic 'bans' as a solution to fisheries environmental problems
Fishing News article - February 2025
Admittedly this was a case of 'getting it off my chest' but hopefully some will appreciate the logic. Why mention the WI you may ask, Seafish research found that in the UK women are the biggest influencers of what is eaten in the household..hence if fish is off the menu it is a big deal
My best day - supporting Fishing into the Future Clyde workshop
