‼️🔔 WE’RE HIRING! 🙋🏽‍♀️ The EAG is looking for a well-rounded individual to join our dynamic team as the Executive Director!

Welcome to May! It's time to remember that it is now the closed season for Caribbean Spiny Lobster (May 1st to June 30th) and Parrotfish (locally called Chub fish) (May 1st to July 31st).

Since I'm in a good mood right now, let's make a thread of species that wouldn't exist today if it wasn't for zoos and aquariums. You guys can add on as well!

I will be defending my dissertation on July 2nd, 2024 at 1pm ET. All are welcome to attend on Zoom or in Gainesville. See description below 🙂🌊🪸🐠 tinyurl.com/2s3duanw

Really hoping that the islands in the direct path can escape unscathed, but let’s also remember security post disaster is important and to be each others’ keepers, whatever the outcome, as the region experiences this first of the season

The Caribbean accounts for less than 0.5% of global fossil fuel emissions and yet we continuously bear the brunt of the climate crisis. We then have to spend our meager GDP rebuilding and countries single-handedly fueling the crisis will look at us and call us “developing”

it’s happening!! tomorrow! 🙂↕️

I've always detected the way American meteorologists use terms like "impressive" with positive connotations to describe what for Caribbean people has always been a terrifying force. Would you call a robber impressive for invading and destroying your home and community?

lollll

This is why the Loss and Damage Fund needs to be operational, on a timeline of yesterday

Looking at all the footage coming out of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St Lucia, Barbados, and Grenada… my chest is burning me. We cannot begin to quantify these losses… it will take years to recover… and a next hurricane can come again just like that.

NEW: "This hurricane has put the people of Carriacou and Petite Martinique light years behind and they are expected to pull themselves up by the bootstrap on their own. This is not right, not fair and not just." - Grenada's Prime Minister Hon. Dickon Mitchell 👏🏾🇬🇩✊🏾

sat down in awe of this super cool work, what a great talk!

let’s gooooooo Nneka Nicholas🇦🇬 💃🏽🥳🧚🏽

The saddest part about this? The new US president is a climate change denier; we can’t fathom the devastation that’s about to be wreaked on our entire planet as a result. Millions of us in the global south facing catastrophic climate events WILL continue to be affected

Excited to share our new study in Journal of Applied Ecology that sheds some light on how Florida’s dynamic coastal wetlands might respond to efforts that address sea level rise vulnerability with dredged sediment addition. You can read the paper here! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

📖 New paper! Sediment addition at the saltmarsh–mangrove ecotone shifts species dominance with implications for restoration 🌊🌴 Emerging ecological communities may tolerate and benefit from restoration similar to better studied temperate systems 👇️ buff.ly/IttxuUK
