Just in time for #COP30, I left my usual warmer waters to work with a great set of folks on this research that illuminates (pun intended) how climate change will impact the amount of light reaching Arctic marine ecosystems. Read more in our paper 👇 Our key findings include: (1/4) rdcu.be/eOz1L
Climate change impacts on ocean light in Arctic ecosystems
Nature Communications - Climate change will decrease Arctic Sea ice and increase light, but effects on polar ecosystems remain unclear. Here, the authors predict that warming waters and prey loss...

Our paper shows that the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA), a global agreement to end #IUUFishing, has made it harder for foreign vessels to land catches where they are not subject to PSMA monitoring. We highlight ways to strengthen its impact: 1/ tinyurl.com/yfx5t2hb

#NewPaper in Science Advances finds that domestic fishing vessels account for the majority of port visits around the world. Comprehensive inspections at port for both foreign and domestic fishing fleets are a key deterrent for #illegalfishing.

As climate change pushes fish stocks to new places, temperature, rainfall, waves, and storms will impact fishers' health and well-being, especially as they embark on potentially longer journeys to catch the same amount of fish. We explore these dynamics in our new paper: tinyurl.com/yc669f8p 1/
Decent work in fishing in a changing climate
Climate change will increasingly impact the working conditions of employed fishers, who work in the most hazardous occupation in a sector already at h…

Today is the International Day for the Fight against Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing.

In 2022, our team mapped the regions and ports at highest risk for IUU fishing: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Now, they're studying vessel patterns to help inform tools to reduce IUU fishing.

Taking action to reduce risks of labor abuse and illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing in the fishing sector is hindered by a lack of spatially explicit data and an understanding of diffe...

A group of people is seated around a table with Post-it notes and Sharpies. There is a presenter at the front of the room standing in front of a screen that displays a picture of a school of fish. The group came together as part of a workshop to generate new ideas for ocean solutions.
