Our WG on Fisheries Benthic Impact and Trade-offs #WGFBIT develops methods & performs assessments to evaluate benthic impact from fisheries at regional scale, while considering fisheries and seabed impact trade-offs.

AFBI has joined the UK Centre for Seabed Mapping to expand its role within marine science. Coordinating surveys with partners will ensure greater benefit to NI, the wider UK & ROI. .AFBI's Alex Callaway, Seabed Mapping project lead, helps explain why bit.ly/3BW8h0h.

A good sign that science is healthy - big claims are scrutinised, criticised fairly and responded to with sensible arguments. It is clear is that there are huge uncertainty around carbon release from bottom fishing gears and more work is needed before attempting global estimates.

To celebrate #EarthDay 🌎, Cefas is pleased to announce the launch of its new International Centre for Ocean Protection and Use (iOPUS). iOPUS will use the latest #CefasScience to help develop #innovative solutions to protecting the world's oceans ▶️ bit.ly/3mYDTi8

On the way home from a super few days reviewing trawling impacts on sediment carbon. Thank you Marija Sciberras Dr. Stacey Felgate for organising and to a fab group for such interesting discussions

It’s important to have a clear research area and even more important to make sure that it matches any funding you can get

Fantastic Natural Environment Research Council MINIMISE workshop today...many meetings missed thanks to C19. Great to pull together 4+ years of research by Cefas University of Southampton National Oceanography Centre UEA University of Plymouth Research at Exeter ExeterMarine and demonstrating the power of interdisciplinary working

Nice of the Devon and Exeter Institution to have my picture up for our MINIMISE meeting this morning. #Microplastics #Benthic #Invertebrates #Sediment all on the table to discuss today!

Cefas oceanographer of 30 years Liam Fernand left today for a new role. This popped up at his leaving party; the time we stealth-swapped one of the antique photos. It hung undiscovered for about 2 years. I think we nailed the 1880s Clement Garcia Skene Marine

1st person in your family at university? Can't get 🌊scientific experience on your CV because you can't afford to volunteer? Don't have the network due to background circumstances? I hear you. Join us Cefas nxt summer. Closes 22nd Dec.

Neve McCann “I’m over the moon to have celebrated my @ATU_Galway MSc graduation in Sète #WGFBIT . As an #ECS , I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with a group of immensely talented individuals. Thanks for making my first ICES working group so special.”
Congrats!

End of the 3rd day of ICES #WGFBIT . How do you relate infaunal functional traits and seabed biogeochemistry?... with great difficulties, that's how! Luckily we've got a lot of great data and a motivated team! Exciting challenges ahead. Marija Sciberras Ruth Parker
