High-res Are any of you looking for work experience and skill development for marine conservation?  If you’ve done a science degree but haven’t got much work experience, or if you’ve done lots of work experience, but didn’t do a marine science degree, but still want to get into conservation - Zoox might be perfect for you. Doing the Zoox Experience Programme will give you intensive and unique training on the basics of marine conservation, then you embark on a six-week work experience helping to coordinate a real conservation project on the ground, and carrying out personal conservation projects aimed to develop the skills that you need to fill in on your CV!  This was my dream internship. Now it’s my dream job. Check it out!  www.zoox.org.uk

High-res (Image: Christian Sardet and Sharif Mirshak/Olympus BioScapes 2012) This is the claw of a Phronima- a tiny but violent predator that stalks the oceans. Just a few centimetres long, Phronima are crustaceans that feed on jelly-like organisms like salps. They rip their victims to pieces and use the remains to build barrels that they then live inside and raise their young. Their sinister appearance and rapacious hunting has led to comparisons with the alien queenfrom James Cameron’s Aliens.This photo, taken by Christian Sardet and Sharif Mirshak of thePlankton Chronicles Project, won fourth place in the Olympus Bioscapes International Digital Imaging Competition. - Michael Marshall, environment reporter
