The Eurasian whimbrel is a large wading bird with long legs and bill that curves near the tip. In flight, its feathers form a white ‘V’ shape. Often found in small flocks, sometimes with other species. The one pictured here was spotted in the southern North Sea in the summer.
Here are some of the news articles that caught our eyes across the last month. What other news did you see? Let us know!
Rigs-to-Reefs repurposes decommissioned structures as artificial reefs, providing habitat for a diverse range of species. This has been a core research topic for OSC since our founding. Our work includes ROV records of marine biota associated with an offshore production platform.
Ready to turn your interests into skills? 🌊 Join our training courses for MMO, PSO, and PAM operators. Gain hands-on experience, learn from industry experts, and become a certified observer ready to protect marine wildlife. Head to our website to join us in November!
Yesterday was International Reptile Day 🐢 These beautiful creatures play a vital role in maintaining the health of our oceans from maintaining seagrass beds to providing shelter. At OSC we are committed to protecting and preserving them through monitoring and research efforts.
