Smart monitoring allows us to understand more about our seas, how they are changing and the impacts caused by human activities. Explore our WaveNet smartbuoy network! cefas.co.uk/cefas-data-hub/s… cefas.co.uk/cefas-data-hub/w…

We find on average 1.5 pieces of plastic for every 1m^3 of sea surface. @Seamoht and colleagues both in Cefas and UK/International collaborators are assessing the pervasiveness, analysis and impacts to inform action. xitter.cf/BBCEarth/status/939952…
While filming #BluePlanet2, the crews found plastic in every ocean, even in the
most remote locations

Climate change is impacting marine environments already... & there will be further impacts! Cefas & partners across the @MccipOrgUK network produce report cards on marine climate change impacts. 10 years in UK and now being produced internationally! #BluePlanet2 #Cefas20 4of20

Our marine environment is pressured by a whole range of human activities. We work with @DefraGovUK, @JNCC_UK, @NaturalEngland and others to protect biodiversity in UK's marine conservation zones #MPAs #Cefas20 3 of 20 #BluePlanet2

Plastics are prevalent in our marine environment. #BluePlanet2 viewers will have been shocked at the impacts they and other marine litter have on our marine environment.
Our new #Cefas20 infographic summarises what we have found and what we are doing to help.

Disturbed by reports of litter on our beaches theguardian.com/environment/…?
76% of the seafloor’s litter is made of #plastic, posing dangers to our oceans and the life it supports.
Learn about prevalence, impact and what we are doing in our second #Cefas20 infographic! @Seamoht

To celebrate #WorldFisheriesDay , we are releasing the first of our #Cefas20 infographics. The series reflects on the past 20 years of #CefasScience and how it has shaped the work that we do now.
Here is infographic number 1 - Otoliths: Listening in on the past

Second year running #PelticSurvey that we have seen these pelagic giants - more research needed @t__horton @TagAGiant @mjwitt1 @CefasGovUK xitter.cf/MARINElife_UK/status/9…
