@seamammalresearch.bsky.social@seamammalresearch.bsky.socialThis project is funded by: Dept. for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) (facilitated by Hartley Anderson), Scottish Gov. Marine Directorate, and @ukri.org Natural Environment Research Council (NERC)
@seamammalresearch.bsky.socialWe're also running a webinar and Q&A session hosted by @mastscot.bsky.social on 03/12/2026 at 13:00 GMT to give comprehensive guidance on appropriate use of the maps and demo SealMAP. @anitagilles.bsky.social will also join to demo the SCANS cetaceans app. Sign up here: tinyurl.com/sealmapwebinar
@seamammalresearch.bsky.socialSealMAP (SMRU's web application for seal distribution data) has now been updated to host the most recent density maps for the Northwest European Shelf! We've also added some extra bells and whistles to facilitate appropriate use and interpretation of the data. Take a peek: tinyurl.com/smrusealmap 🦭🗺️
