A Trans-Tasman collaboration between IMAS & @aucklanduni.bsky.social researchers shows Longspined Sea Urchins are a huge threat to NE #NewZealand marine ecosystems. And as the region is at lower latitudes, the impact there could outstrip what we've seen in #Tasmania.

A new study in @naturesustain.bsky.social reveals that establishing a commercial fishery to intentionally overfish an unwanted yet marketable species, like the Longspined Sea #Urchin in #Tasmania, can be a sustainable option to protect vital marine ecosystems: utas.au/EattheProblem
