Just back from the @UofGlasgow expedition to #Egypt where the students are surveying mesophotic coral ecosystem fishes, studying fish behaviour and assessing coral biodiversity (Instagram land.sea.foam ).
Check out our latest blog post, which discusses what the team have been up to on the lead-up to the expedition - including today’s visit to the wonderful @SunnysidePri, you guys are incredible!

Fantastic to meet a group we’ve developed good links with over the last few years. @guegypt having been sharing their learning and discussing Red Sea MPAs & the amazing life within during their annual visits to our Ocean Defenders! Great to see them at #CurosityLive today!🦑🐡
