#PhD #WaterLiteracy #Geography #ClimateChange #EnvironmentalSciences

This project brings together 🌿 social geography, 💧 environmental sustainability, & 🧠 behaviour change to co-create a child-centred water literacy programme.

Join Dr Tara Woodyer, Dr Julia Brown & me on this journey towards a more sustainable, water-aware future!

Plus:

🧬 Fish & human health
🐠 Behaviour & physiology in conservation
🌡️ Fisheries management in a changing world
A great opportunity for early-career & senior researchers alike.

📅 Save the date: 27–31 July 2026 — see you in Southampton!

We’ll cover 7 exciting themes, including:

🌊 Movement through transition zones
🌆 Fish biology in urbanised environments
⚖️ The fisheries–science policy interface
🔬 Patterns across ecological scales

#FSBI2026

The symposium will unite researchers, practitioners & policymakers to tackle global challenges in fish biology — from climate change to conservation & fisheries management. 🌍

Huge shout-out to @lnadler.bsky.social, leading the organisation! 👏

Glad you enjoyed it - sure - lets chat!

Been a long cold day 🥶, but following many hot cups of ☕️, kit has successfully been deployed 💪

Hopefully it holds out for the next 2 months or so, and captures some cool fishy data 🤞🤞 Watch this space! @dravowles.bsky.social

Thanks again to the fab team for all your hard work taking field measurements yesterday - doesn't seem like it was so cold now! 💪
