DEADLINE IS TODAY #IMCC8 #fisheries #marineconservation #marinepolicy
(though if you ask nicely I'm sure the program chair would allow a short extension)
Hello #fisheries and #marineconservation and #marinepolicy friends! Call for proposals closes March 6th. Email your science buddies and get a collab together. Come join us in Edinburgh to talk oceans and drink whiskies. #IMCC8
Ahoy friends who are @scbmarine.bsky.social members - please vote in the board election by Wednesday! (And if you aren't members but thinking about #IMCC8 in Edinburgh this year, join and save money on the registration. #marineconservation #ocean #marinepolicy

I think that our research must impact society. The best way to check this is through the impact on policies. This can be done using Sage. In my case, 2899 citations in 1312 policy documents around the globe

From the map of countries having signed but not ratified the High Seas Treaty, we can see some large economies (USA, UK, India, Canada....) that can compromise the daily functioning of this important #biodiversity agreement

This is the map of the countries which have signed, ratified or not taken action. Still many countries with large economies have signed, but not ratified (e.g. USA, UK, India, Canada....)

Caveats to AGF (Part 1):
• Disease risk: Translocated corals might carry pathogens
• Regulatory: CITES & Nagoya Protocol genetic sovereignty accord complicate things
• Scale: AGF must be regional, not piecemeal

We identified Fraser’s dolphins swimming over 400 km between Caribbean islands. This shows strong ecological connectivity—but also highlights the need for joined-up conservation.
Dolphins don’t recognise national borders—neither should marine policies.

Thank you @andreasravache.bsky.social Proud of this assessment of the French #Natura2000 network for #seabirds #MarinePolicy, made possible by experts and data from France @inpn.bsky.social and neighbouring European countries! No easy task, given the mobility of the species in question 🧐
🌊 Fast, fair, and future-proof policies to get offshore wind right—for the planet and people.

This global synthesis of marine megafauna movement isn’t just academic—it’s a tool for action.
From BBNJ to 30x30, this work supports science-based decision-making across ocean governance.

We're on the final day of the #GES4SEAS annual meeting!🌀
Among today’s sessions, @drangelborja.bsky.social is leading a discussion on policy briefs: key ideas, findings, and how to communicate them effectively to policy-makers 📄
Translating science into action!

🌏 MiCO shows us the ocean through the lens of movement.
Use it to plan protections that span jurisdictions, seasons, and life cycles.
The data’s open. The tool is live. Let’s build the future of connected conservation.
