Such a tragedy - Eel "management plans". @icesmarine.bsky.social again highlight that member states plans are failing to make a substantive difference & reporting data are also missing. Mortality, usually non-fishing, is far too high doi.org/10.17895/ice...

My week at #BBNJ highlighted to me that the voice of fisheries is still largely absent & needs to be heard at prep com 2 in August. Watch this space @fao.org @unbiodiversity.bsky.social

New York bound - heading to BBNJ prep com as part of IUCN delegation- looking forward to observing & contributing…

Science for social & economic impacts marine windfarms from @icesmarine.bsky.social today "collection & collation of data is not coordinated internationally. They are inaccessible for scientific purposes & not collated on scale for fishery or ecoregion assessments of impacts" doi.org/10.17895/ice...

The highlight of being a Trustee to @thembauk.bsky.social is the annual 2 day Council meeting. Intense & stimulating discussions on many scales of marine biology www.mba.ac.uk

Great day in Brussels meeting Commissioner Kadis and his cabinet to talk about ecosystem-based fisheries management

The European seas don’t recognise our human borders. I learnt a lot about current pressures on EU fisheries policies in Brussels yesterday.

In solidarity with my friends & colleagues in the USA Federal system, this is what I accomplished last week.
Although some of you point out that the email from DOGE might be their way to link better together all their databases

I'm updating my summaries for the upcoming @icesmarine.bsky.social working group on Stakeholder Engagement (25-27 March) & drew heavily from the 2021 ICES report on engagement, with additions from the last few years doi.org/10.17895/ice...
Details of working group here: www.ices.dk/community/gr...

We had a good session @aaas.org on tangible progress of ecosystem-based management (EBM) across fisheries, renewable marine energy & biodiversity. See my presentation 1drv.ms/b/c/f6ab0a15...

EBM links knowledge to partnership to action. My talk on "Tangible Ecosystem-Based Management to deliver Marine Biodiversity Targets" for later this week at @aaas.bsky.social available to view 1drv.ms/b/s!AtwrYTwV...

Management objectives for pelagic ecosystems- 10 years ago we published the results of our workshops exploring potential objectives. doi.org/10.1016/j.ma... Things have moved on, but this work helped change my perspectives on the value of engagement with managers, the sector & NGOs

Looking at the timeline of @icesmarine.bsky.social advice on NE Atlantic mackerel. Developing a bigger picture to understand if 'uncertain science' is to blame for appalling international management of the fisheries. I think not.

FURIOUS… I stopped being active on X a while back but occasionally look at my account. Now I find this advert with no apparent mechanism to block it or say not for me. No No No!
Nothing in my previous activity would make X think that I was interested in this propaganda…

Rounding off with some of the common odds and sods in typical ichthyoplankton samples in spring from coastal NE Atlantic waters.

My greatest love is the diversity of common flatfish larvae - taking me back to my PhD years. Witch larvae are fantastic.
January 4, 2025 at 10:36 AM
And my interpretation of common UK gadoid type fish larvae- chunky & stout

Know your FISH LARVAE : my models in clay inspired by early job sampling icthyoplankton & using Russell’s 1970s book “The Eggs and Planktonic Stages of British Marine Fishes”
Here are the snake-like larvae- clupeiods & sandeels
