Greater northward expansion of warmer water species may ultimately restructure Arctic foods webs. Our work demonstrates the importance of considering the multidimensional impacts of climate change. (4/4)

[Elizabeth Selig @ElizabethSelig]

Just in time for #COP30, I left my usual warmer waters to work with a great set of folks on this research that illuminates (pun intended) how climate change will impact the amount of light reaching Arctic marine ecosystems. Key findings include: (1/4) https://t.co/pJr4LrdNrV

[Elizabeth Selig @ElizabethSelig]

More light, warmers waters, and lower productivity in summer will drive declines in the growth and survival of cold water fish species like polar cod. Warmer water species like walleye pollock and Atlantic cod may capitalize on these changing conditions. (3/4)

I am grateful for my incredible group of co-authors who brought their expertise in fisheries, statistics, data science, social science, policy, and law to this work! 8/

Our paper shows that the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA), a global agreement to end #IUUFishing, has made it harder for foreign vessels to land catches where they are not subject to PSMA monitoring. We highlight ways to strengthen its impact: 1/ https://t.co/pmOwPbWasH

[Elizabeth Selig @ElizabethSelig]

Our results indicate that similar port state measures for domestic fleets fishing in international waters and effective implementation of PSMA will become increasingly key to fighting IUU fishing. 7/

#NewPaper in @ScienceAdvances finds that domestic fishing vessels account for the majority of port visits around the world. Comprehensive inspections at port for both foreign and domestic fishing fleets are a key deterrent for #illegalfishing.

I am grateful to have learned and worked with experts in human rights, labor, fisheries, occupational safety and health, and climate science on this project.

[Elizabeth Selig @ElizabethSelig]

As climate change pushes fish stocks to new places, temperature, rainfall, waves, and storms will impact fishers' health and well-being, especially as they embark on potentially longer journeys to catch the same amount of fish. More in our new paper: https://t.co/OVFVaZI2hh

[Elizabeth Selig @ElizabethSelig]

Tracking shifting stocks may also change the rules that govern fisher safety and opportunities for them to seek recourse and remedy as they move across jurisdictions.

#HIRING ALERT: Two @oceansolutions roles now open! We're looking for a postdoctoral fellow focused on illegal fishing and an administrative associate to join our team.

– @elhazen, @NOAA

Failing to keep warming to below 3C could mean a 30% decline in catchable fish in many countries, @FAOfish study suggests.

Women represent ~1/2 of the fisheries workforce, yet their contributions are undervalued.

8 national reports (with more on the way) highlight opportunities to increase gender equity in the fisheries sector ➡️ https://t.co/JbNtf21Vju
