Today's #Museum30 theme is NAME. So here's just a few of the new species that have been discovered, described & named by @AmgueddfaCymru scientists & their colleagues. This work is the vital foundation stone in understanding & conserving species in a changing world

Researchers @sos_bangor_uni believe they’ve found HMS Stephen Furness, a WWI ship lost in 1917 with over 100 crew. Located via sonar & digital archives through the #UnpathdWaters project, this find reveals history hidden beneath the Irish Sea.

Some great discussions w fishers, seafood marketing experts @ClwstwrBwydMor, @WG_fisheries, and willow/wildlife/land use trust @GwctWales last night. Come & join us in @_GALERI_ this evening from 5pm! @fishsarah @crabpotdave @Welsh_Fishermen
Fisher in N Wales? Heritage crafter? Or just want to learn more about traditional willow lobster🦞 pots? Drop-in events tomorrow (@Plasheli) & Thursday (@_GALERI_) with @fishsarah and @crabpotdave

How can historical sources help in #conservation? We examined 275-year old handwritten naturalist's notes to provide further evidence that a few specific reefs on the Welsh coast are vitally important to critically endangered angel sharks, which have become extinct elsewhere

🚨New paper online🚨 Energetic seas can host sensitive habitats and are seeing increasing commercial attention. We mapped temperate reef habitats at a tidal energy site to inform sustainable development:

Heddlu's 'Daw Etu Haul' represents a new beginning - it's a fresh project from Rhodri Daniel, whose work with @estrons was so highly regarded...
A very special piece of music -

@SEACAMS2 & @CGGcompany are collaborating to better understand how infrastructure like renewable energy devices may interact with the seabed and its inhabitants, from tiny foraminifera and amphipods to fish and scallops, and how best to measure any changes.@wefocymru #COP26

It was great to have @ocean_tea_ helping with our lab work over the last few weeks through a paid @sos_bangor_uni summer internship. She helped process seabed samples collected from the #RVPrinceMadog. Lots of amphipods to test our ID skills on (note the colours are not natural!)

First leg of our final research cruise was very successful with camera, grab, beam trawl and acoustic sampling around #Anglesey. Now we are sailing further afield for more #seabed and sub-bottom surveys. @wefowales @sos_bangor_uni @TimothyWhitton @TDJ_marine

This is insanely cool @LilianLieber! Nice use of tech and appropriate analytics to get non-invasive insight into bird behaviour. Everyone loves a hidden Markov model.
