This #WorldFisheriesDay we are celebrating recent research from our network which has focused on fisheries around the world. Much of our research depends upon the highly valuable relationships and collaborations with #fishers 🧵 ⬇️

Of the 36 species recorded, 22 are listed on the IUCN Red List as globally threatened (critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable)

The researchers say fishers and local authorities are keen to protect threatened species, and simple changes could have a major impact

Sharks and rays from threatened species are being caught off northern Cyprus, according to a new study by scientists who are working with local authorities and fishers to protect the animals SPOT Marine Life Martha O’Keefe University of Exeter CEC news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-env…

This is why it matters. Representation. My daughter doesn’t have to have an interest in football. She just has to know that it’s an option. That she can become anything she sets her little heart on. From a princess to a lioness. And everything in between. #Lionesses #WEURO2022
