We are excited to co-host this special session on Marine Recreation Fisheries in the Western Indian Ocean WIOMSA 2022 symposium with Dr. Alex Winkler Warren Potts Dr. Nina Wambiji KMFRI @billfishExpert

Are you confused about the difference between multi-, trans- or inter-disciplinary research? Give this paper a read. It is based on the perspectives of a great group of ECRs from the One Ocean Hub and is not only related to marine science researchers. academic.oup.com/icesjms/advanc…

If it is illegal to sell recreationally caught fish in your country, which is generally the case, is it then legal to donate your catch? If so, is surplus recreational catch (competitions) being donated for social prosperity instead of being sold? #recfish

Happening now at #WIOMSA2022 is our Special Session on Marine Recreational Fisheries (MRF) in the WIO. Good start on context setting; What do we know about MRF? What are the implications of COVID19 on MRF in Africa? What are the potential impacts of fishing tourism?

Evidence for pro-environmental reform on the SFSA Facebook group! This paper underscores the potential of what can be accomplished by a dedicated group of people, promoting a conservation-oriented mindset, using a ubiquitous instrument of change. authors.elsevier.com/a/1g49ZbiU1vYeG

Ofcourse I had to make a GIF of this! Cheslin Kolbe shows Anthony Jelonch to his seat 🪑 #FRAvRSA

With mines as deep as 4km, this is a no-brainer....

The first of its kind, the BATs successfully documented the location and timing of birth in these wild sharks. This new tech will be especially valuable for threatened and endangered shark species, where protection of pupping and nursery grounds are a conservation priority.

Such a great lead by Sebastian Kraft , slowly morphing from whale boy to the ray guy, this is a great paper to read if you plan on estimating space use through the use acoustic telemetry data!!

Great colab between multiple organisations to get this one done, thanks Brett Pringle for leading it and doing the hard graft in the lab.

Great use of biologging techniques to verify the survival of released swordfish in rec-fisheries.

If you have a half an hour to spare, please join my talk on Thursday - it covers Marine Protected Areas in #SouthAfrica and #telemetry!

I grew up in a housing commission household with no wallpaper on it, my dad was a labourer & my uncles were gang members. My mother dropped out of school at 13, not surprising I wasn’t a kid full of self worth/confidence. I know I gained a lot of confidence & motivation from

If you are interested in Scaenid habitat use patterns this is the one for you, took a hot minute to finally come out but I am glad we finally got through it all: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Guess the species? Thanks Taryn Murray for the wonderful collage!!! Three of my favorites, two South African endemics and one very cosmopolitan species both Tarryn and I know a thing or two about!!

If you are attending the World Fisheries Congress next week and work in developing nation recreational fisheries, DM me to take part in our workshop we are hosting on Thursday
