Hey BBC Cornwall, you should correct the statement from an interviewee in SE Cornwall that The Labour Party will ban all bottom fishing. They have indicated they may ban bottom *trawling* in Marine Protected Areas! Very different to a total ban with very different societal implications!

Cornwall has no Conservative MPs after the party's candidates lost every seat in the 2024 general election. Meet your new MPs here: bbc.in/3VQRZ2n

🇨🇻 Excited to join the first BAIT expedition around Cape Verde with NGO Biosfera Cabo Verde BAIT aims to give equipment and training to local researchers to collect more data within unexplored offshore areas ✅ Dr Amelia Bridges demoed how to build the camera system Now for the trials!

The team from NGO Biosfera Cabo Verde deployed Baited Remote Underwater Video Systems (BRUVS) around the sampling area A nurse shark came to say hello! 👋

🎉 We just reached 50 dives! We are currently on expedition with NGO Biosfera Cabo Verde in Cape Verde deploying cameras down to the deep sea in areas which have never been seen before We have seen black corals, butterflyfish, trumpetfish and sea bream 🥹 And even a manta ray!

Lights 💡 Camera 🎥 Action 🎬 The deep sea camera is being prepared for 100+ metre dives today in Cape Verde As well as collecting never seen before videos of deep sea in the area, this project is training and providing equipment to local scientists

👋 Meet our underwater camera! This camera has been deployed to depths of over 100 meters in the ocean of Cape Verde We deploy it off the side of the boat, and it provides a live feed so we can see what's on the sea floor 🔦 On the last dive, we saw a moray eel!

Should we be looking at using alternative materials to plastics in fishing gear? Would you be willing to pay more for seafood caught this way? Please share you views with us! shorturl.at/IITbz #PlasticFreeFishing #FISP Marine Institute Isles of Scilly IFCA Defra UK
