🌊What does it take to assess and protect 2.2 million km² of seabed—an area equivalent to half the land surface of the EU?

Which seafloor indicator to use?
We demonstrate complementarity, sensitivity, and specificity of 18 indicators in response to the pressure of bottom trawling using a shared dataset across different parts of European Seas

I really enjoyed the meeting. Working together solving science problems in a mix of presentations, analysis and critique really speeds up the process.
Sometimes we also smile at #WGFBIT, mostly after the statiscal models are complete 💪 thanks to IFREMER and the FBIT team for such an enjoyable and productive week. Lots of progress on developing quality thresholds for GES / good status assessments

We've been discussing our Europe wide trawl impact assessment today at wgfbit, with his progress on the analysis for the paper. Muddy seabed is most heavily impacted across the regions.

Feeling the buzz from experts here at IFREMER in Nantes, France. What’s in it for them? Experts value being able to focus for a whole week on working and developing ideas around a common meaningful theme with peers from various fields of science/policy.

I've been at Greenland Institute of Natural Resources in Nuuk this week working on applying the ICES WGFBIT trawling impact assessment method to Greenland waters. It has been productive (and also an amazing country to visit).
