FINAL CALL: 2 wks remaining to complete our 5-10min survey on #alien species in #MPAs (English, French, Spanish): mpasurvey.ca. If you are a #manager/#researcher with 2+ yrs of experience in MPAs, please add yours to the map by June 8! marine

A study led by Josie Iacarella reveals the invasion risk posed by the relocation of 'static maritime structures' (oil rigs, barges, dry docks, etc) - unregulated activity whose risk will be exacerbated with increasing development of coastal infrastructure: goo.gl/xrkkiG

Humans can impact biodiversity in many ways. A new study from across British Columbia shows that fish diversity is lower where there's more human disturbance. #WorldBiodiversityDay #IntlBiodiversityDay #BioDiversityDay 9/22
