ALT Two new pioneering projects, named EQUIFy and FrontLine, have been chosen to address the challenges set by NERC: Natural Environment Research Council and The Crown Estate research programme ‘Ecological Effects of Floating Offshore Wind (ECOFlow)‘. This programme is focused on delivering the critical evidence needs of government and industry required to inform policy and decision making on planned large-scale expansion of FLOW. PML is leading the ‘Establishing a Framework for Quantifiable Evidence and Impact of Ecosystem Change Throughout the Lifecycle of UK Floating Offshore Wind Farms (EQUIFy)’ project, and the second project, ‘Impacts of FLOW on Celtic Sea Ocean Fronts and Biodiversity (Frontline)’, will be led by Heriot-Watt University and involving PML scientists.

ALT Working with recycled polymer and sourced fabrics 2nd year costumes students realised the "Coccolithophore" costume design by Jacqueline Ball. Students began by taking personal measures and drafting an overall shape of the "dress". It was decided that 3D printing the chalky coccolithophore shapes would give a more accurate representation of these organisms and so a printable model was found. The costume foundation was made up from a base shape with steel bands inserted to support the 3D printed forms. Layers of blue and white tulle and organza folded puffs were used to create a foundation layer to create a textured surface and each 3D printed shape were sewn on by hand, a total of 100 shapes were individually placed and sewn to create the chalky effect. Care was taken so that there was freedom of movement and that the costume was easy to put on. In total the costume took 6 days to make!
