Back home after a fantastically successful annual meeting for @marinebeacon.bsky.social An impressive breadth of work being carried out across the consortium and always great to have the opportunity for in person chats to help develop and advanced our work. Read more on our website

@marinebeacon.bsky.social meeting day 2 starting with a ferry ride across the harbour in Ostend. Looking forward to hearing about the work being produced across all of your work packages and having time for breakout sessions to discuss what's next in the coming years #horizoneurope #bycatchresearch

Getting set up and ready to start @marinebeacon.bsky.social annual meeting hosted by our partners at ILVO. Looking forward to catching up with partners in person and hearing about all the exciting #bycatch research being conducted across Europe and beyond #horizoneurope

Had the opportunity to attend an event @bioagora.eu to explore how a cluster of projects on #bycatchreductuin could be beneficial in the science policy landscape. Great as always to enhance collaborations between @marinebeacon.bsky.social and @reduce-project and @cibbrina.bsky.social

PhD OPPORTUNITY: Machine learning for improved environmental management of the marine
environment.

Join the Exeter Marine community with this fantastic project lead by @drmjwitt.bsky.social and Lucy Hawkes!

Great to see the innovative work from one of our projects partners @ifremer.bsky.social being featured on @euronews.com This showcases the remarkable progress being made to develop innovative fishing gears that reduce bycatch in European fisheries. To learn more check out the links below...

Finally getting a chance to catch up on this, including contributions from my colleagues at the Marine Institute and the status of sharks and rays in Irish waters

Year One, Done!

We’re at the end of the 1st year of Marine Beacon and have published out 1st Newsletter. If you’re curious about what we’ve been up to, this is a great place to dive in.

Thanks to everyone who’s been part of this work. Excited to see what Year 2 brings!

#Science #Marine #Research

I had the opportunity to participate in a panel at Enterprise Ireland's Horizon Europe conference yesterday. It was great to hear about diverse projects, including green cities, electric vehicles and renewable energy, all with aims and objectives dedicated to driving sustainable change

#jobfairy Another job in our team, working on @bioprotectproject.bsky.social This role will develop/propose coherent #MPA networks in Irish waters robust to climate change. Lots of collaboration with local & national stakeholders is central to this role. www.marine.ie/site-area/wo...

#jobfairy Come work at Marine Institute in Galway & join the CIBBRiNA project. 4 year post-doc. The role will include developing a modelling framework to design monitoring programmes, estimating bycatch probability, bycatch rates, and total bycatch. Deadline 17th Dec www.marine.ie/site-area/wo...

Introducing Marine Beacon! I'm coordinating this exciting project, which has big ambitions to improve knowledge on the status of vulnerable species in our seas & develop the tools & technology to reduce bycatch. Check out our website & sign up to our newsletter to learn more.

Thank you so much to whoever put this very comprehensive list of #science Bsky starter packs together. This is just amazing: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

So many new and exciting people to follow in this space...but hard not to get sucked in for hours, especially after I've been working hard to reduce my screen time. My contributions may be limited as I find #balance while still enjoying #newshinythings

#WorldFisheriesDay: A good moment for me as a new-bee to #Bluesky to introduce some of the work I'm doing on knowledge co-creation with the #fishing industry and why it matters for marine #science. Let's start with some myth busting. 🔽 (w @julia-cal.bsky.social)

Introduce yourself with your worst feedback from school;

At a parents teacher meeting a teacher pretty much said 'well it's clear you aren't carrying this on to A-level so we don't need to worry about it too much'!

An early start to head up to Dublin for the Ocean Knowledge conference and a few days hearing all about Ireland's Ocean Future and key knowledge, research and innovation actions to address ocean sustainability and blue economy challenges. Find out more oceanknowledge2030.marine.ie/event/136269...
