Join us in congratulating FOME lab's #PhDstudent, Ezekiel Adekoya, for completing his application to candidacy this morning at Dalhousie University! Ezekiel's research focuses on assessing and projecting the impacts of climate change and socio-economic pressures on regional fisheries.

It’s comb jelly season!!

Tomorrow morning I will be talking about Mozambique’s #mantarays in the ‘Movement and Habitat Use’ session of Sharks International. Hope to see you there! 🥞🦈🇲🇿

Exited too to start this new @ICES_ASC adventure on #MPAs and #OECMs with @B_HortaeCosta Derek Tittensor @KBoerder Maria Grazia Pennino marta coll @ConsLevin Sebastian Villasante Vanessa Stelzenmüller Changing Ocean Research Unit Juliette Jacquemont and many others.

Fantastic.

I think this is my favourite photo from last night. A bunch of Coryphella verrucosa feeding on Ectopleura crocea.

Although today is the last day of IMPAC5, the movement for ocean conservation will only keep growing! With ocean conservation passionates like @KBoerder and Vincenzo Corelli, who presented their work at IMPAC 5, we can reach 30 by 30! #IMPAC5 #MPA #ProtectedArea

👀 We see many #MPAs designated towards #Cop15 #30x30. 👂🏽 We hear many #commitments at #OurOceanPanama. 📃 Thanks to #BBNJ, we'll have soon #MPAs in the #HighSeas. ⚠️ Please, make these #MPAs meaningful for #biodiversity with the appropriate #LevelOfProtection. #MPAGuide

New paper out in Science Magazine Deep-sea impacts of climate interventions: Ocean manipulation to mitigate climate change may harm deep-sea ecosystems. With fantastic leadership of our Lisa Lisa Ann Levin as always! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Without taxonomists we would make little progress in ecology, biodiscovery or the work to classify and map #marineecosystem types. Thank you to all the taxonomists, curators and #museum staff who build this foundation and Happy World Taxonomist Appreciation Day

It's quite something that the world's top scientists put out a synthesis report that essentially says civilization as we know it will end unless the world comes together to stop rapidly expanding the fossil fuel industry but to instead rapidly end it, and almost no one cares

I adore nudibranchs. Some of the most amazing looking creatures on the planet.

We are #hiring ! If you like all things #marineconservation and #eelgrass, including snorkeling /diving, drone work, working with local and indigenous communities, and strategizing with a fun team, apply via the link below. DM @KBoerder for questions. linkedin.com/jobs/view/3564…

Interesting thread.

New FACETS collection 🌊 GE'd by Derek Tittensor @rystanman & @AndreaBBuchholz. It explores science-based strategies for incorporating climate change into the design, monitoring, and management of Canadian marine conserved areas. Read the collection ➡️ ow.ly/1CX050TphAf
