Many of us forget that seabirds play a vital role in ocean ecosystems: these animals can act as both predator and prey and can even be an important indicator of ocean health! Photo by Jonny Gios

I had much more luck with photographing Euro Storm Petrels. Why are the rarer birds so much harder to capture? Over 30 of these amazing little birds seen from @ak_cruises Falmouth pelagic yesterday. @BirdGuides @KeithLeeves @CBWPS1 @Natures_Voice

Awesome news! 🥳Thomas Cook is joining Virgin Holidays, British Airways, TripAdvisor, Booking .com and Expedia in fully turning its back on the captive dolphin industry. We're proud to have played a part in helping them reach this decision. It now puts even more pressure on travel giants such as @TUIUK to do the right thing and help #EndCaptivityForever Read more 👉 bit.ly/3NFYgtK #WorldDayForCaptiveDolphins

There will be no whaling in Iceland this summer! 🥳 This is HUGE! Together with the support of other marine charities and a public outcry in Iceland and abroad, we've saved around 150 fin whales from a painful and horrific death this year. The Icelandic Government's own advice is that the "method used when hunting large whales does not comply with the Animal Welfare Act." The Minister of Food, Svandís Svavarsdóttir has made it clear that unless the government and license holders can guarantee to meet the welfare requirements (which it can't), whaling has no future! 📷 Christopher Swann
