I am deeply concerned to hear of the #NorthSea collision between an oil tanker and a cargo vessel. My first thoughts are with the vessels crews and their families but as a marine biologist from #Lincolnshire I am also very worried about the impact on vulnerable marine species.

Dusky dolphins (Lagenorhynchus obscurus) can make significant energy savings by bow-riding according to a new study.
Read the paper here:

Video shows dolphins I filmed bow-riding the RV Tangaroa earlier this year.

I love that my job enables me to experience incredible #wildlife. Like this leopard seal in #Antarctica, who checked us out whilst we were deploying seabed cameras.

Later, this same seal punctured another boat and we had to rescue the occupants!
