BRIDGES Research Program
@bridges-wio.bsky.social
BRIDGES – Fisheries and Biodiversity in the Western Indian Ocean Research Program aims to carry out ambitious collaborative research to bolster social and environmental resilience, and support a future generation of actors for the region. 2023-2033
🔵 BRIDGES joins forces with ODATIS to ensure FAIR, open & long-term access to scientific data in the Western Indian Ocean. At the May GA, partners discussed how to structure, share & valorize massive datasets to support research & decision-making. #OpenScience #FAIRdata #BRIDGES

🌊 Protecting the ocean? Yes — but do it right.
Today, @joachimclaudet.bsky.social spoke at #OOSC2025.
Bold targets like #30x30 aren’t enough if implementation lacks impact. Joachim outlines 6 key recommendations to make MPAs truly effective — and to better recognize OECMs.

🌊 At #OOSC2025, Lisa Weiss an oceanographer specializing in high-res modeling & coastal strandings, will present her work, part of the BRIDGES AVATAR project.
🎯 Goal: better understand ocean dynamics and their uncertainties, key to designing marine protected area networks in a changing climate.
