📆 On Saturday we ran a bioluminescence workshop for our #LivingSeas Youth Forum 🔬🧑🤝🧑
🎓 We explored #bioluminescence in marine animals, created our own glowing jars and then explored the rocky shore searching for species that fluoresce under UV light 🕵️♂️ 🌟

Get down to your favourite beach and pick up any plastic pollution you find. Any litter removed from a natural ecosystem helps wildlife and creates a better space for humans too!

How amazing is this?!?!?! 🤩 The #DolphinDietDetectives team are having a great year ... and yes I know this isn't a dolphin! 🐬🦈
Our underwater cameras in Cardigan Bay give an incredible insight into our seabeds in West Wales. They recently captured an Angelshark, one of the world's rarest & most threatened shark species! 🦈

A fun few days with the #DolphinDietDetectives team 🤩🐬
✨ Highlights from our #DolphinDietDetectives Stall at the Aberystwyth University Science Fair last week 🔬🐬
🧑🤝🧑 We discussed how dolphins find prey, what they eat & showcased how we’re working to discover more about their diet by collecting poo samples & extracting fish DNA! 🍽️

‘Awe-inspiring and harrowing’: how two orcas with a taste for liver decimated the great white shark capital of the world
‘Awe-inspiring and harrowing’: how two orcas with a taste for liver decimated the great white shark capital of the world
