Our annual Marine Systems and Policies Edinburgh course to Maldives is wrapping up - huge thanks MaRHE Center

Social and in water surveys almost done here in the Maldives MaRHE Center by the Marine Systems and Policies Edinburgh team - a lot to ground/sea to cover as always and then onto the analysis! 📊

Accidentally matching Sebastian Hennige at Glasgow Airport on the first day of the Marine Systems and Policies MSc. Field School in the Maldives!

I guess marine scientists all shop in the same places?

Work package 4 group photo during the first day of our #iAtlanticGA2023 - smiling faces since most of experimental work is now finished, now on to #synthesising and #disseminating the results! 🌊

Here for the final iAtlanticEU assembly to hear about the staggering amount of papers and impact that the consortium is having in the North and South for capacity building, policy and stakeholder engagement - more still to come as well!

And the final iAtlanticEU is officially open now! J Murray Roberts walks us through the highlights and challenges of the past 4 years to set the scene for our plenary sessions!

Next panel at #BBNJ _Symposium on using best available science - and the #BBNJ Clearing House Mechanism #CHM - starting. As already recognized yesterday, the #CHM will be absolutely critical to the functioning of the #HighSeasTreaty , especially for the #EIA and #MGRs provisions.

We are proud to have our iAtlanticEU team speaking about the best available science panel for the #BBNJ process - Jake Rice, Christine Gaebel and Lea-Anne Henry! #BBNJ _Symposium

4 days to go! 😀The Ocean Decade Vision 2030 process will propose a strategic ambition & goals for each of the🔟Decade Challenges.🌊 The #OceanDecade24 Conference hosted by #Spain will provide the perfect environment for the discussion of the process.📲 lnkd.in/dT-sa9Dg
