For years, the government has insisted that the increase in whale deaths off the East Coast has no relationship to the wind industry's high-decibel pile driving and boat activity. But now, a new documentary, "Thrown To The Wind," based on new research, will challenge that.

On making climate change local - Communities trust and feel more comfortable with local people in comparison to provincial or federal politicians. That's why we CANNOT fail to overlook local cultural practices, social interactions, and human feelings. #MakeItLocal #ClimateAction

2nd author in a recent MNRF publication! I had the opportunity to model surface water temperature in Ontario inland lakes to help understand how future thermal conditions may impact fish populations and management strategies 👉 researchgate.net/publication/35…

CONGRATS @AmandaVincent1 !!

Thank you everyone for all of your interest in this field position! 😊 I have filled the position! I probably received at least 50 resumes from all very qualified individuals. I cannot reply to all at this time, but thank you again and I wish everyone the best !

FIELD ASSISTANT NEEDED! 2-months ($2,500/month) from ASAP-Aug. 31. Research focused on understanding the impacts of landuse and eutrophication on water quality in support of salmonid habitat management and endangered fish recovery in the Fraser Valley. s.ramirez@oceans.ubc.ca

@pnwkate Of course! :)

@SamRam_IAm Can people over fifty apply? Can women apply? (Video from yesterday attached since I’m always looking for fish anyway - it’s a good indicator of a healthy stream habitat) ☺️👍💚👊

@shahinshuvobijo If you have a work permit yes :)

@SamRam_IAm Is it open to international student?

@madatfishes Not unless you have a work permit :)

@SamRam_IAm I'm am American citizen, can I still apy for this position?

@ImDiegoMoreno Not unless you have a work permit! :)

Congratulations !!

Paul McCartney told his followers to watch #Seaspiracy, but #DanielPauly says it ‘takes the very serious issue of the devastating impact of industrial fisheries on life in the ocean & then undermines it with an avalanche of falsehoods’ totallyveganbuzz.com/news/paul-mcca… @SeaAroundUs

A couple stream sites from my Master's field work this week! Elk Creek that runs through a BUNCH of #agricultural land and a pristine reference stream in Chawathil! Both essential habitat for salmonids 🐟 #nature #ecology #streams #FirstNations

What if land acknowledgements of #FirstNations unceeded territory was backed up by #Action? Ex. People are getting rich off of real estate market booms for land they don't even own. Let's say a percentage of the profit made goes to the local #FirstNation? Other ideas?

Did you know that a 9-11m #riparian buffer can reduce stream #pollution by a minimum of 75%? If it was a law to have riparian buffers on #agricultural land we would have healthier #streams and #fish populations! #FreshwaterConservation #WaterQuality #Fisheries

My #FieldSeason has begun!! SO excited. Thank you Mike for sharing your knowledge on stream geomorphology and health in the Fraser Valley. Definitely saved a load of bush whacking and driving around 😅 If only this small-scale knowledge sharing occurred at a large scale..

It's the Ocean Decade Revolution! Catch the wave! LISTEN to this podcast by #AliciaAndersen and #SpencerChaisson, #UBCOceans' @500_fish students. oceans.ubc.ca/2021/04/20/pod… #OceanDecade

Check out mine and @juliaadelsheim's podcast on flags of convenience (FOC)! We talk about what FOC's are, the issues with them and ways to stop their use with @danadmiller from @OceanaEurope and #AldoChircop from @SchulichLaw #OceanConservation #OceanDecade
