New FACETS collection 🌊 GE'd by @DerekTittensor @rystanman & @AndreaBBuchholz. It explores science-based strategies for incorporating climate change into the design, monitoring, and management of Canadian marine conserved areas. Read the collection ➡️ ow.ly/1CX050TphAf

Interesting thread.

We are #hiring ! If you like all things #marineconservation and #eelgrass, including snorkeling /diving, drone work, working with local and indigenous communities, and strategizing with a fun team, apply via the link below. DM @KBoerder for questions. linkedin.com/jobs/view/3564…

It's quite something that the world's top scientists put out a synthesis report that essentially says civilization as we know it will end unless the world comes together to stop rapidly expanding the fossil fuel industry but to instead rapidly end it, and almost no one cares

I adore nudibranchs. Some of the most amazing looking creatures on the planet.

Without taxonomists we would make little progress in ecology, biodiscovery or the work to classify and map #marineecosystem types. Thank you to all the taxonomists, curators and #museum staff who build this foundation and Happy World Taxonomist Appreciation Day

New paper out in @ScienceMagazine Deep-sea impacts of climate interventions: Ocean manipulation to mitigate climate change may harm deep-sea ecosystems. With fantastic leadership of our Lisa @LlevinAnn as always! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

👀 We see many #MPAs designated towards #Cop15 #30x30. 👂🏽 We hear many #commitments at #OurOceanPanama. 📃 Thanks to #BBNJ, we'll have soon #MPAs in the #HighSeas. ⚠️ Please, make these #MPAs meaningful for #biodiversity with the appropriate #LevelOfProtection. #MPAGuide

Although today is the last day of @IMPAC5Canada, the movement for ocean conservation will only keep growing! With ocean conservation passionates like @KBoerder and Vincenzo Corelli, who presented their work at IMPAC 5, we can reach 30 by 30! #IMPAC5 #MPA #ProtectedArea

I think this is my favourite photo from last night. A bunch of Coryphella verrucosa feeding on Ectopleura crocea.

Fantastic.

Exited too to start this new @ICES_ASC adventure on #MPAs and #OECMs with @B_HortaeCosta @DerekTittensor @KBoerder @grazia_pennino @CollMonton @ConsLevin @SebVillasante @VanessaStelzen1 @coru_ubc @JJacquemont and many others.

What is the future of ocean exploration for marine life? What insights will new technologies provide? A study on discovering marine biodiversity in the 21st century led by @AlexDavidRogers and including @DerekTittensor now published. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@gregorybritten @WHOI Fantastic Greg - hugely excited for you, and looking forward to more opportunities to work together in the future.

🚨 I'm thrilled to announce that in December I'll be starting as a tenure-track assistant scientist in biology @WHOI. I'll lead an exciting new Population and Ecosystem Modeling Laboratory - stay tuned for updates and opportunities! 🐟🦐🦈🌊

Tomorrow morning I will be talking about Mozambique’s #mantarays in the ‘Movement and Habitat Use’ session of @SharksInt2022. Hope to see you there! 🥞🦈🇲🇿

It’s comb jelly season!!
