		<title>Introducing Naked Oceans&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For several years now I&#8217;ve been regular co-presenter on the Naked Scientists &#8211; a fun, live science show broadcast from Cambridge University. And if any of you have ever listened in, you&#8217;ll know that I tend to talk about the oceans, a lot. Well, now I&#8217;m getting the chance to talk about nothing else, in [...]]]></description>

Reason being, there have been lots of whale and dolphin studies out in the last few weeks. And here is a selection of the recent stories I think are most [...]]]></description>

		<title>Poseidon&#8217;s Steed: what happened next?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I published a paper giving a round up of the latest seahorse studies and it reminded me of the revelations that have emerged from the seahorse world since I wrote Poseidon&#8217;s Steed, the story of seahorses from myth to reality. So, here is are a few of the things we now know about seahorses, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do one thing today for the oceans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is World Oceans Day. A day to celebrate the diversity, fragility, and beauty of the oceans. Horray for that. So how about we make today the day we all do one thing for the oceans? Here are my top suggestions: Ask If you eat fish, next time you&#8217;re at restaurant, supermarket or fish mongers, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The seahorse with dangerous underwear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seahorses are masters of disguise. They really are. They can grow a coat of weedy sprouts and change their skin colour to seemlessly match their surroundings. No wonder a cuttlefish recently mistook a seahorse for a blade of seagrass and covered it in eggs, as seen in this video on the BBC news website. The egg-laden [...]]]></description>

		<title>What next for ocean trade?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The votes are in and the future does not look bright for a collection of marine species that are getting a pummeling from international trade. Fans of bluefin tuna sashimi and anyone outraged at the idea of taking a global stance against shark fin soup can heave a sigh of relief. Don&#8217;t worry: it&#8217;s business [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bluefin No Vote</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week, international negotiations are raging over a group of species that conservationists say are being pushed towards extinction. The cause of the problem: uncontrolled trade. Votes are already coming in and the first big result is a NO VOTE on a potential ban trade in Bluefin Tuna. The trade will go on. Japan must be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quest of the curly-tailed horses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago at the University Library, here in Cambridge, I made a rather wonderful discovery. I uncovered a forgotten hero of underwater filmmaking (and I found some seahorses). I was doing some research for my next book proposal (and no, I&#8217;m not going to say what it&#8217;s about yet), and I did my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marine reserves good news for penguins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to measuring the benefits of marine reserves (or Marine Protected Areas aka MPAs, or marine parks, or no take zones, or whatever you want to call them) it&#8217;s usually fish populations or marine habitats that we focus on. Now it seems that protecting areas of the sea from fishing pressure can very [...]]]></description>

		<title>Protect Chagos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that the world&#8217;s largest coral atoll is British, and that it could become the world&#8217;s largest marine reserve? Those are two impressive facts and they apply to the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, some 300 miles south of the Maldives. The coral reefs of the chagos are among the most untouched and [...]]]></description>
