Great to see this amazing footage of dolphins and sharks taken by students on our Azores fieldtrip published by the BBC Wildlife team www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts... @phildoherty.bsky.social @uniexecec.bsky.social @exetermarine.bsky.social

These students dropped a baited camera into the Atlantic Ocean. "All went quiet…" then this showed up | Discover Wildlife
The students were blown away by the marine life on their field trip in the Azores, an archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean.
