🚨 JUST IN: Ocean Minister Emma Hardy has officially announced the UK Govt’s proposal to extend bottom trawling bans in English protected areas. If total bans go ahead this is a HUGE WIN! 🎉

We're all collectively crying over the Anglerfish and Howie right now, right? 😭 RIGHT?
They weren’t JUST any fish and any crab—they were resilience, light, and a reminder that even the smallest lives can touch millions.

You can read the interview with Susannah Buchan, a researcher at our centre, where she talks about her research on cetacean acoustics and how to save them from collisions with large ships

To Save Whales From Ship Strikes, Listen Closely
By enabling ships to tune in to underwater sounds, acoustics technology is helping to protect vulnerable marine giants.

Happy New Year from Antarctic🇦🇶, everyone!
Our last sighting of the year was a pod of ~50 Ecotype B orcas, as we approached South Shetland islands, leaving the Drake passage (lake😌). Can't wait to see what amazing species we will sea next!
