New publication🔊"Science-informed 👩‍🔬 recommendations 📝 to enhance the effectiveness of area-based fisheries management for fisheries 🎣 sustainability and marine 🌊conservation: A global 🌍 mini-review" @SKatsanevakis 🔗authors.elsevier.com/a/1iR2%7EbiU21… (50 days' free access ShareLink)

❓How many local #extinctions have occurred in the marine environment? What drives local extinctions? Do we posses sufficient data to track changes of marine #biodiversity? 📢 Out today @SpringerNature, we try to shed light on these pressing inquiries ⬇️ @SKatsanevakis

🐟Marine Systematic Conservation Planning (#SCP) is our main topic of today. @simfrasca presents the first results of our global scoping review of current practices & @SKatsanevakis leads us through the development of decision making tools for SCP. #conservation #MSP #covidence

Today we start an intense workshop in Barcelona @ICMCSIC with a beautiful view! 🌴🌊 Over the next 4 days work packages and planning sites will work together to bring the first concepts developed into practice.

This unsustainable fishing practice is authorized in many #MarineProtectedAreas (#MPAs). Fishing is important. We need #fishing. Being a #fisher is a respectful occupation. But #sustainble fishing should be the norm, not the exception. All fisheries should be sustainble.

Heyyy!! #marineresearchers!! On the #BiodiversityDay, #GES4SEAS is proud to launch this video opening our annual meeting, showing the effects of cumulative pressures on biodiversity at #sea. A new fantastic creation of @SCiCrunchers. You can use and RT it
