We spent some time actively pursuing that goal, but the MMO had other ideas.

The Sussex Kelp Recovery Project helped push support for the Sussex IFCA Nearshore no-trawling byelaw. 4 years on divers have reported increases in Mussel beds, Black Bream, Catsharks and Stingrays. The team spent yesterdays meeting in the water to see first hand the amazing life being protected.

Human land use and non-native fish species erode ecosystem services by changing community size structure - Nature Ecology & Evolution Human-induced pressure may alter the size structure of animal communities. Here, the authors investigate the impact of land use, non-native species and climatic variables on the body size structure of...

Check out our latest study, in @natureecoevo.bsky.social, where we applied size spectra to show community-level responses to human land-use & invasive fishes. Led by brilliant D. Moi, w/ @vssaito.bsky.social @drdanperkins.bsky.social @gqromero.bsky.social, et al.
