The aim of the Fisheries and Survey Technology working group is to develop and test technical innovations for various fisheries that enable sustainable fishing. #MarineLife 🦑 #science
🇩🇰 #DanFish2025 — three days packed with inspiration, exchange and fresh ideas for the future of fisheries! ✨Together with a German fisherman we’ve been working with for years, we explored the latest developments in the fishing sector 🔍🌊 and connected with potential partners for upcoming projects 🤝.

Great to have great colleagues! 🫶
At the Mission Ocean & Waters Conference, our partners from DTU and SLU are showcasing innovative solutions for sustainable fisheries — including our work on seal-safe fishing gear. 🌊🐟

Ahoi!
Last week, part of our team took part in a 3-day sea safety training course. The course covered fire safety, water survival, and first aid—all essential skills for our future fieldwork at sea!

It was a great experience, and we’re now better prepared for whatever the ocean throws our way 🌊

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency.

Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

🌊 While part of our team was – or still is – out at sea, others joined the #CIBBRiNA Spring Meeting in Vigo 🇪🇸 – home to Europe's largest fishing port.

The meeting focused on the current state of the project, new insights, & plans for the next steps. Many thanks to everyone for the great exchange!

🦐 In the North Sea, we are testing innovative trawl modifications to reduce bycatch in the shrimp fishery aboard the FFS "Solea". Ongoing fishing trials using trawl mounted release panels to reduce by-catch of benthic species vulnerable to fishing gear. 🦑 #fisheryscience #sustainablefishing #science

We are out at sea - the 846th cruise on the RV Solea is now underway.

We are currently testing a new modular shrimp net in which the net material, the mesh size and the size of the overall net have been adapted to the current needs and wishes of the shrimp fishery.

Trump cuts on Cape Cod: NOAA layoffs hit Woods Hole science center
Bourne woman worked to keep fishing sustainable off Cape Cod. Cuts to NOAA hit her job.
A federal judge rescinded the terminations, calling them illegal, but Trump has appealed. It's not clear what happens next for Cape Cod NOAA workers.

We started a new project on passive shrimp fishing, called TRAPS! 🦐 We just got back from the Netherlands, meeting with @wurmarine.bsky.social and ILVO to share ideas & plan future collaborations. On our way, we even visited a fisher to learn about stownets! 🎣

New Seal Protection Requirement:
From March 2025, licensed fish traps in MV must be equipped with seal protection devices. We demonstrated to a TV team how such solutions can be technically implemented. An important step for protecting grey seals! 🔗t1p.de/Thuenen_Kegelrobben

Calling all Oceanography & Atmospheric Sci. professors! Let's teach our students the many & varied ways that the services that NOAA provides impacts their lives. This is a teaching & LEARNING moment to help Americans understand how federal agencies impact them directly www.axios.com/2025/02/27/l...
Layoffs hit federal climate, weather agency NOAA
The cuts could affect NOAA's weather forecasts, climate research and other functions.

🎬 Lights, camera, action! 🌊

Last week, our new design pearls were in the spotlight.

Part of our team was onboard our research vessel, testing its underwater visibility under the frequency of harbor porpoise clicks. Using an echosounder, we simulated these signals—and the results? Very promising! 🦑

Fresh updates from PearlNet! 🐟 Last week, we boarded our research vessel Clupea to test how the pearls echo at the harbor porpoise frequency using the echo sounder. We compared the old & new PearlNets, and the results look promising! If you are curious about this topic, stay tuned for more updates 🦑
