A fantastic article from @helenscales celebrating the wonderful nudibranch! Well done @libbykeatley !

Lovely article by @helenscales for the @guardian all about nudibranchs from NI. It was a pleasure to go diving together in Strangford Lough and then look at some nudibranchs back at @QueensMarineLab alongside @BernardPicton @ChristinePicto1 and @philwilkinson71

If you take underwater photos or are thinking of doing so in the future come along to @QueensMarineLab to hear about our new project - Marine Biodiversity Data Portal - NI https://t.co/8Oy7uGGaXl

Non-native marine species identification workshop at Queen’s University Marine Laboratory in Portaferry today with Tutors John Bishop and Chris Wood from the Marine Biological Association, Plymouth. The course is part of the DAERA EF project ‘Marine Biodiversity Data Portal - NI

👏

Day two of the non-native marine species identification workshop @QueensMarineLab , with a focus on ascidians. Tutors John Bishop and Chris Wood from @thembauk were excellent. This workshop is being run as part of the ‘Biodiversity Data Portal - NI’ project based at QML.

Some photos from today’s non native marine species workshop @QueensMarineLab. John Bishop & Chris Wood from the @thembauk are the tutors for this 3 day workshop which is part of the DAERA Environment Fund project ‘Biodiversity Data Portal - NI’, based in QML.

Had a brilliant two days at the marine invasive non-native species workshop at @QueensMarineLab with tutors, John Bishop and Chris Wood from @thembauk. A fantastic opportunity to improve my INNS ID skills and to gain a broader awareness of wider UK marine invasive species.

You have until Sunday night to book for the BTO NI Annual Conference that's taking place on 4th November, we hope to see you there! Visit here: https://t.co/0AEjfALYlz

Great to see awareness raised re: ecological collapse of #LoughNeagh! We must also acknowledge the impact on people's wellbeing. Some have lost their place of peace, play, sport, discovery. Their daily dog walking spot. 👉See article by @DrLouTaylor
