Of course we nearly forgot, an enormous thank-you to all of the incredible support and funding from Prifysgol Bangor Bangor University, Swansea University, and last but not least Welsh European Funding Office Swyddfa Cyllid Ewropeaidd Cymru ! Diolch pawb a hwyl am y tro! Goodbye for now!

113 Research projects, 50 companies, 11 years and countless adventures later, and SEACAMS2 officially comes to a close! It's been emotional! Thanks to all staff and collaborators for their incredible contributions to these world leading projects, diolch yn fawr! x

Great time at the Marine Energy Wales 2022 conference, amazing things happening in Wales! Thanks for everyone that dropped by our session, diolch! #MEW2022

Six key lessons from our seagrass restoration work in Wales covered in my talk at #coastalfutures22 #generationrestoration Project Seagrass
1. Do your homework
2. Engagement and compromise
3. Persistence
4. Learn from mistakes
5. Keep learning
6. Teamwork

SEACAMS2 & CGG 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.Swyddfa Cyllid Ewropeaidd Cymru #COP26

Mae SEACAMS2 ac CGG yn cydweithio i ddeall yn well sut y gall isadeiledd fel dyfeisiau ynni adnewyddol effeithio ar wely'r môr a'i breswylwyr, o fforaminiffera a deudroediaid bychain i bysgod a chregyn bylchog, a sut orau i fesur unrhyw newidiadau. Swyddfa Cyllid Ewropeaidd Cymru #COP26

It is #Adaptation , Loss and Damage day at #COP26 . Did You Know… At CGG Environmental Science, we are working with SEACAMS2 at Bangor University to integrate lab-based analysis with machine learning-led object detection to analyse marine species and habitats on the seafloor.

I'll be speaking about Welsh research on wildlife interactions with marine renewable energy on behalf of SEACAMS2 at the energy transitions session at #COP26 Cymru on 4th Nov. Tune in at the link below.

It was great to have 🌿pati głaz🐙 helping with our lab work over the last few weeks through a paid Ocean Sciences 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!)

Roedd yn wych cael 🌿pati głaz🐙 i helpu gyda'n gwaith labordy dros yr wythnosau diwethaf trwy interniaeth haf Gwyddorau Eigion . Helpodd i brosesu samplau o wely'r môr a gasglwyd gan y #RVPrinceMadog . Llawer o amffipodau i roi ein sgiliau adnabod ar brawf.

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. Welsh European Funding Office Ocean Sciences Timothy Whitton Tim Jackson-Bué (D'Urban Jackson)

Ending a good first day of sampling

Good bye Menai Bridge for the final SEACAMS2 Prince Madog cruise. We're undertaking collaborative research with businesses to support the development of the Marine Renewable sector in Wales. Timothy Whitton and Tim Jackson-Bué (D'Urban Jackson) leading first part of cruise.

Following a successful data collection campaign, we are delighted to be working with Bangor University on a tidal stream resource assessment for the META tidal test sites - as part of the SEACAMS2 project.

Watch this space for the results of this assessment!

Very proud of our very own Timothy Whitton for winning the prize for most groundbreaking research to solve an industry problem for the @EIMR2020. Now go and enjoy the bank holiday weekend Tim.
