Our Global Fishing Watch fishing effort data is now public through the end of 2020! Download it here: globalfishingwatch.org/datasets-and-c…

As countries came under the grip of #COVID19 in early 2020, many of the world’s largest fishing nations saw dramatic and sustained declines in fishing activity - China and the UK saw the largest decline in fishing activity within their waters: ow.ly/PepR50DWf2i

Will new food technology save our seas? @HeatherLahr describes the results of emLab and ِ' recent study on the potential for cell-based seafood to produce conservation benefits in the ocean. bit.ly/3t0r58i

BREAKING: new study in @nature finds that strategic ocean protection can simultaneously protect biodiversity, boost fishery yields, and secure marine carbon stocks that are at risk from human activities nature.com/articles/s4158…

Given growing market demand, new product pathways, and nutrient pollution markets, our new Marine Policy publication finds that seaweed #aquaculture can provide a cost-effective solution for mitigating nutrient pollution sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

"Cultivating #seaweed in less than 1% of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico could potentially reach the country’s pollution reduction goals that, for decades, have been difficult to achieve," says Phoebe Racine. Read the press release on our new Marine Policy paper: news.ucsb.edu/2021/020259/se…

Join Juan S. Mayorga for his Global Biodiversity Festival talk on "A global blueprint for ocean conservation" to learn about the opportunities we have to make smart data-based decisions that benefit #marinebiodiversity & communities: 📅: Sunday, 5/23 🕑: 2pm EST ✅: klay.eventsair.com/globalbiodiver…

This #WorldOceansDay, we celebrate the importance of the ocean in sustaining life and livelihoods. Our goal is to improve the prosperity and sustainability of the ocean by utilizing innovative methods to enhance the ecological and economic performance of marine resource sectors.

This #WorldOceansDay, we're sharing Bren School and UCSB research from the past year that has made a tremendous impact in better understanding ocean health and sustainability, and celebrating the people working to solve environmental problems. 🌊🐟🦀🐋 x.com/brenucsb/statu…

I am thrilled to share this-a labour of love with the most wonderful and committed colleagues around the world & spurred many more questions and collaborations. Join our launch next week, visit FishBase | BlueSky: @q-quatics.bsky.social & access species specific nutrient values lancaster.ac.uk/lec/about-us/n…
