Happy World Environment Day! A huge thank you to all the recreational anglers, charter skippers, scientists and others that we collaborate with at the Angling Trust to play our part in a sustainable future for our seas 🎣💙🌊

Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay‌ y'all! This is my favourite environment - The Big Blue 🌊 It regulates our climate, provides oxygen, feeds us, guides us & inspires us. But it also always keeps a few of its mysteries to itself. Let's give it the value and protection it deserves 🙏

What better way to spend #WorldEnvironmentDay‌ than off the Dorset coast tagging Black Bream 🐟 University of Plymouth Angling Trust Natural England Southern IFCA Defra UK #FISP Applied Marine Ecosystems Research (aMER) Plymouth FISH INTEL Ronan Conlon

Great few days tagging black bream and surveying bream nesting habitats in Dorset. Thanks to all involved 🎣🐟 University of Plymouth Angling Trust Natural England Southern IFCA Defra UK #FISP Applied Marine Ecosystems Research (aMER) Plymouth FISH INTEL Ronan Conlon Masterplan Offshore

Successful day tagging rays for #AnglingforSustainability - 3 undulate ray and 2 thornback ray tagged! Thank you to skipper Stuart Newell and crew for having us onboard 🎣😁 Angling Trust Applied Marine Ecosystems Research (aMER) Plymouth Southern IFCA Natural England Sussex IFCA Defra UK University of Plymouth

Two of our team members, Dr Alice Hall & Pete Davies, explain acoustic telemetry. This powerful technology is allowing us to track fish in the @Defra-funded Angling for Sustainability project, in partnership with the Natural England, Angling Trust, Southern IFCA and the PBA

Busy few days! Last week presenting our research on scallop farming Faculty of Science and Engineering post graduate conference with a talk and poster, and this week I'm on fieldwork collecting data for our #RopestoReefs #FISP project. Great week! Applied Marine Ecosystems Research (aMER) Plymouth Emma Sheehan University of Plymouth

Amazing work by our telemetry team, with almost half of the thornback rays for the #RopestoReefs Defra UK #FISP project tagged in just one day! The tagged animals will tell us what habitats are important for them so we can contribute to their future management University of Plymouth

Hugely successful day, we tagged 11 #UndulateRays from Poole with Andy Cumming for our #AnglingforSustainability project They are now swimming around collecting us lots of data on habitat use and behaviour! University of Plymouth Angling Trust Natural England Southern IFCA Defra UK #FISP
