Excited to highlight the importance of shipwrecks within our marine environment,🌍and their potential to store blue carbon on such an important day. 80 years gone but not forgotten @NCLDoveMarine @SciencesNCL @newcastlemarine @UniofNewcastle #wewillrememberthem
Replying to @india_bourke
And as @PriestRJ explained, these oases of wildlife still have secrets to teach today -- about how wrecks can help fight climate change by protecting 'blue carbon', and act as proxies for the long-term effects of offshore energy infrastructure (pic: Sea wall at Slapton) ...

Great news! Our FREE SeaScapes Coastal App is now LIVE & available on the AppStore. The app will ping at key locations along the coast & provide interesting info on the place you're at AND locations of ship wrecks will provide info on the hidden heritage beneath the waves. – at North East, England
