Future of Marine Ecosystems Lab

Hey! Sorry, we’ve been a bit quiet lately—still figuring out our comfort level with this app given everything(‼️) going on. In the meantime, if you want to stay up to date on what FOME is working on, follow us on LinkedIn: 🔗 linkedin.com/company/future…

Big congrats to lab alum Hannah Solway on her MSc research being published! 📖🐋🌊 Titled: Assessing changing baleen whale distributions and reported incidents relative to vessel activity in the Northwest Atlantic. Read it here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39813191/

📢Lecture Alert📢

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

@OceanTracking A couple other photos from the symposium!

Earlier this week some of our members attended and presented at @OceanTracking 2024 Symposium! Kudos to everyone for their outstanding presentations and contributions!

Our new study in @npjOceanSustain evaluates #ClimateChange impacts on marine life in Atlantic Canada and how it could support sustainable fisheries in a rapidly warming world. With: @FOME_lab @Nuestracr @cbcoceansguy @Oceans_North Read it here -> rdcu.be/dLSpk

The Northwest #Atlantic faces significant climate risks affecting marine species and fisheries. A new paper in @npjOceanSustain explores scenarios under climate change, highlighting the need for emissions reduction and adaptive fisheries management: oceansnorth.org/en/resources/

🚨 New article alert! 🚨 "Operationalizing Climate Risk in a Global Warming Hotspot" is now live and co-authored by @DerekTittensor. Check it out! 🌍🔥 nature.com/articles/s4418…

The Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) is looking for public input on the marine conservation network plan for the Scotian Shelf and the Bay of Fundy. More information and link to the survey can be found here: questionnaire.simplesurvey.com/f/s.aspx?s=4ec…

Exciting new publication in @Nature, co-authored by lab members @AmyIrvinee and @DerekTittensor 🌊🐳🦀 Check it out! nature.com/articles/d4158…

Happy #WorldOceanDay2024! Today, we celebrate the beauty and importance of our oceans! Let's take a moment to appreciate them and commit to protecting them for future generations. Whether it's reducing plastic use, or participating in clean-up activities, every action counts🌊🐠

Lab member @KBoerder, a co-lead on the Community Eelgrass Restoration Initiative (eelgrass.ca), collaborated with @SailGP and @SailGPDEN last week! Check out this awesome video to see what they got up to 🌊🌱 instagram.com/reel/C7q4rM6OL…

Lab members @KBoerder and Sam attended the Coastal Protection Act Rally last Wednesday! Joining so many others in demanding the full implementation of the #CoastalProtectionAct! #NSpoli #CoastalProtection @EcologyAction

some more photos from the session!

Photo by @nicwinklerphoto The Community Eelgrass Restoration Initiative in the UK with the @ProjectSeagrass! Learning a lot about growing and caring for eelgrass seeds and shoots; lessons that will be brought back to Canada to inform restoration efforts here on the east coast!

Lab members @KBoerder and Amy spent a week at @univmiami working with and learning about the new AquaX, created by an ecosystem modeler @Nuestracr. He has ~30k marine species distributions modeled globally (incl. mammals, fish, reptiles, cephalopods, bivalves, etc)!

Happy #worldseagrassday! For more information on eelgrass and what you can do to protect our local populations, visit eelgrass.ca Go to cmm.ns and unir.ca to learn more about the culturally significant Katew (American eel)
