It's herring season here in British Columbia #oceanoptimism, so here is a herring for #Sundayfishsketch

Elbows up, Canada!

Science friends!

Many of you, alarmed by grant funding cuts that make expensive field ecology research difficult or impossible, have been thinking about what to do instead. Great idea.

Some of you have been saying "I'll just do some social science surveys," without learning how. Bad idea! 🧵🧪

Let's build a Civil Defence Corps! Podcast Episode · Elbows Up · 2025-03-11 · 42m

Hey Canada, we should all listen to this interview.

@petermacleod.bsky.social describes what a 🇨🇦 Civil Defense Corps could look like (starts @ 10m in).

It includes preventing mis/disinfo, disaster response, & each of us contributing skills.

48 Scientific Societies Representing Almost 100,000 Scientists Ask Congress to Protect the Future of Science 48 scientific societies representing almost 100,000 scientists signed on to a letter asking Congress to protect the future of science

Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs.

It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! 🧪🌎

Will this be recorded? It's a bit early in my time zone!

Human well-being outcomes of large-scale marine protected areas Large-scale marine protected areas (LSMPAs, >100,000 km2) account for over half of the global ocean under protection, yet little is known about their …

What are the social impacts of large-scale marine protected areas? We reviewed the evidence in this paper.

Better management of the social impacts of marine protected areas can lead to more equitable & effective outcomes.

Fascinating new paper out in @nature.com on the importance of Small Scale Fisheries. Lots of great information on catch, nutrition, livelihoods, etc. The #sharkscience factoid I found was that only 0.2% of the SSF catch is sharks, rays or chimaerans.

Hey Folks,
I was a bit of a late adopter here, but have finally jumped the Twitter ship and am now blue skying. I look forward to reconnecting with old peeps and connecting with lots of new ones.

Stylized tree of life diagram that demonstrates the range of useful chemical data that can be extracted from 19 classes of organisms.

Brand new review paper that sums up the thing I do. In short, there is a whole lot of overlooked chemical data ready and waiting inside aquatic taxa that can be used to monitor the environment and support species and ecosystem health.
