I’m so excited for everyone to see #IntoTheDeep, a multi-year multi-institution collab between Monterey Bay Aquarium MBARI, bringing deep sea life into full view. I may be a bit biased, but it’s simply astonishing and groundbreaking work. Can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks.

This is a very important article and thread. So many of us are struggling and it’s not likely to change soon.

New study of U.S. 🇺🇸 #MPAs represents the first systematic application of The #MPAGuide in the U.S.- a framework to achieve global goals in the ocean. Check out the paper in Frontiers - Marine Science and lots of helpful resources 👉 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… 👉 adobe.ly/3NfKoo8

Saddened to hear Irene Vasquez lost her home in the Oak Fire. She has been an advocate for restoring the cultural burning practices of the Southern Sierra Miwuk in Yosemite. A change that can’t come fast enough. 🧵⬇️

"We may have reached a critical threshold: mountain lions getting killed by cars faster than they can reproduce,” said Fraser Shilling, at UC Davis Road Ecology Center , who released a statewide map of the lethal collisions between 2015 and 2022. Louis Sahagun latimes.com/environment/st…

We need strong #conservation policy to protect the #ocean. But they need to be integrative of both social and ecological aspects. Often enough, conservation policies that criminalize most vulnerable communities are not efficient (e.g., they often generate a black market)

Can microalgae help restore the ocean and the climate? Maybe, but more research is needed. Our new road map will help a diverse community better assess its potential to safely remove carbon dioxide pollution at a viable scale. oceanvisions.org/microalgaeroad… #OceanClimateAction

Multiple ecosystems in hot water after marine heatwave surges across the Pacific – our new #OpenAccess paper published today in Global Change Biology shows that even ecological communities protected from fishing are vulnerable to sweltering seas, a 🧵 (1/6). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Our new open-access Global Change Biology paper led by Joshua G. Smith shows that California’s marine protected areas (MPAs) failed to confer resilience to the impacts of the world's largest marine heatwave on community structure across multiple habitats (1/5): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Many claim that MPAs are effective tools for conferring climate resilience but this empirical study suggests that MPAs have limited ability to mitigate the impacts of marine heatwaves on community structure. (4/5).

The recreational, educational, and scientific use of MPAs is a common mgmt goal but is often overlooked. Our new People and Nature paper presents a framework for measuring human engagement in California’s MPAs and identifies traits that promote engagement (1/X) besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our new #OpenAccess People and Nature paper led by Chris Free shows that coastal amenities explain human engagement in California's network of #MPAs beyond population density alone. (1/5) besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
