Large boulders give a solid foundation for many sessile marine organisms like these beautiful plumose anemones, craning up into the water column to catch the best food as it drifts past. #ClamCam

Help! Pls RT. I’m trying to find out more about this Winnie the Pooh! Found on the beach near Fraserburgh. Says “c. Walt Disney Production” on the back and on the base “A quality Cliro product” “Made in England”. Any ideas about a toy-line / age? @WaltDisneyCo #WinnieThePooh

Moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) are regularly found feasting on the plankton-rich waters around Scotland in spring, summer and into autumn before dying off in winter. Huge ‘swarms’ of jellies wash up on beaches when the currents conspire against them. #ClamCam

The British Isles Special of #Shark with @SteveBackshall is now available on @skytv it was great to take part in this episode & brilliant to see the fantastic elasmo species found off our coastline getting some attention! Well done to everyone involved 🤙

'Illegal fishing in Scotland's protected areas is an ongoing problem that @scotgov has failed to deter, properly penalise, or account for.' #InshoreLimit @ArranCoast @TheOpenSeas

Ever wondered what a Flapper Skate jaw and teeth look like? Well here you go! This is the lower jaw, you can see that the teeth are reasonably small but sharp with the points curving back in towards the mouth. #flapperskate #flatsharkfriday #dipturusintermedius

"Scallop dredging wrecks our seas..." Letters to editor from divers who see first hand the damage to our seabed. It's time to #EndSeafoodGreenwash, plan a transition to restore habitats and sustainable, long-term viable fisheries #bluecarbon #COP26 https://t.co/vllY2XEzGX

'Imagine if we cared as much about the seabed as we do the land?' There is an ecological crisis taking place around Scotland's shores. Sign here for the urgent reinstatement of an inshore limit on bottom dragged fishing gear - https://t.co/ApxacnYTxB https://t.co/D4gJKNJAh3

Scotland's inshore seabed sinks more carbon than all of our forestry and peat combined, yet politicians favour headline grabbing terrestrial restoration projects, ignoring the devastation taking place around our coastline. Sign to protect our seabed👉 https://t.co/ApxacnYTxB

🎉 Last week we successfully filmed critically endangered flapper skate off the west coast of Scotland, footage was obtained via BRUV & whilst SCUBA diving which was INCREDIBLE!!! @DiverChrisR @JDScuba @VetPaulRamos @CinematicaMedia @jackfisherfilms @thefyneseadog @SharkTrustUK

Another day of challenging conditions above / below the water but against all the odds some incredible encounters 👌🏼 Topped off with a calm golden sunset 🎥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦈 #mychangingplanet @CinematicaMedia @SaltwaterlifeUK @DiverChrisR @jackfisherfilms @OThreeLtd @SuuntoDivingUK

Litter is a scourge in our seas, but marine life is also amazingly opportunistic - here two edible crabs have taken up residence in discarded tire, bonus points if you spot the showa glove - sadly a common sight in our seas #ClamCam

Horse Island maerl survey with ⁦@DiverChrisR⁩ showed up lots of flame shells.

Facebook down?! Dammit. Going to have so do some real life now instead… 😅 #FBDown #FreeAtLast

Who’s more interested in whom?! Curled octopus, Eledone cirrhosa keeping a close eye on me in Loch Linnhe in case i tried to steal his crab lunch. I didn’t.

A short film regarding the discovery and subsequent protection of the world’s largest known ‘flappery’ (flapper skate egg laying site) in the Inner Sound of Skye.

Had a fantastic time on Saturday filming with @SteveBackshall and crew. Poor conditions above the waves and green and snotty below, but still an awesome day! 😎😀👌#flapperhunt #scottishsharks

Taffy. She’s as vicious as she looks… #kitten #calico
