Thank you Daniel Pauly for saying what many of us were thinking but could not articulate as clearly as you did: What Netflix’s Seaspiracy gets wrong about fishing https://t.co/GgJGDnrNYG

In particular, the @AtlanticPlasti1 project looks at costs and benefits of action against plastic pollution across countries and so works out the incentives to join (or not) such an international coalition. @kmeginnis @NicolaBeaumon17

Encouraging news about potential international treaty to curb #plasticpollution in @guardianeco. What such an agreement may look like is being examined by our @AtlanticPlasti1 project - explicitly incl. #UK and #US. 1/2

New research showing increasing public demand for tackling marine plastic pollution in Asia.

NEW PAPER - with @DCampbell_econ @AppliedChoice - Results show stronger preferences of the public in #Vietnam for new (reduce #marine #plastic) compared to traditional environmental policy targets (#coral #conservation, coastal #waterquality). https://t.co/pSvZ94jcKV 1/2

Thrilled to announce that I have been appointed professor of environmental economics at @HWR_Berlin starting #today. Looking forward to exciting new tasks in #teaching and #research in vibrant #Berlin.

Today is my last day at @StirManSchool. 🥲 I’m very sad to be leaving an amazing group of colleagues in the Economics Division and a beautiful campus at @StirUni. Friends and colleagues, I fully enjoyed my time here and have learned a great deal!

[TB @tobias_borger]

To all the good friends and colleagues I found in those places, do stay in touch, let’s continue all the great work we have been doing together @ValBGI1 @AtlanticPlasti1, and I hope to see you in 👇

Today is World Ocean Day! Reduce, reuse, recycle to help prevent plastic from ending up in our oceans. Plastic pollution threatens biodiversity, our blue economy, and beautiful days like these.

[Prof Nicola Beaumont @NicolaBeaumon17]

What's the solution to #plasticpollution? To create real change we must first understand people's perceptions and behaviour regarding #plastic. Only then can we develop initiatives which are both acceptable and effective. Our new paper begins this journey: https://t.co/RmtkB2EyyR

Our new study in #Ecological #Economics (@ISEEORG) finds substantial willingness topay of Norwegian households to reduce #marineplastic #pollution in the #Arctic archipelago of #Svalbard: https://t.co/JccvYNyE6A
