Facebook has just reminded me that today was my 5 year anniversary as @PlymouthMarine Director of Science! It's been a thoroughly enjoyable adventure so far, but where the heck did that time go? 🤔

🌍 As the world gathers for CBD #COP16, it’s clear that more attention is needed to tackle ocean acidification—a serious threat to marine biodiversity. Read our policy brief with recommendation for parties to take actions to address OA here: tinyurl.com/4w22ywr6 #GBF #Target8

We need many more in-situ observational studies that link biological change with trends in carbonate chemistry, to help us see, and combat, the real-world impacts of ocean acidification. news.mongabay.com/short-article/…

Just out in time for the UN #CBD Biodiversity COP16. A useful read, exploring the link between ocean acidification and marine biodiversity loss. Highlighting the need for more evidence-based action. backtoblueinitiative.com/ocean-acidific…


Spent a wonderful morning exploring the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve in Singapore. A protected mangrove ecosystem teeming with life. These habitats are so important for biodiversity.

Great to collaborate with our friends @CefasGovUK, also in Singapore for the Marine Monitoring for Action workshop, a @UNOceanDecade-endorsed activity organized by St. John's Island Marine Laboratory. Looking forward to visiting the British High Commissioner (@UKinSingapore) now!

Great opportunity next week to watch some on-line webinars about how marine monitoring can lead to action. Why not take a 👀? It's a @UNOceanDecade endorsed workshop, hosted by St John's Island Marine Laboratory, Singapore.
