Just dropped, first paper out of my PhD! "Archaeology demonstrates sustainable ancestral Coast Salish salmon stewardship over thousands of years" in @PLOSONE
with @tsleilwaututh, @UBCoceans, and @UBCAnth 🥳 open access linked here

The good folks at @cvpws & #MaycriaCosta's Spectral Remote Sensing Lab are hiring at #PostDoc for #ForageFish modeling!

Includes:
Fully funding $65,000/yr😸
Benefits🥳
Field Work🐟
Cool co-workers😁
And you'll help us save the world, one model at time.

@vanaqua Do you have any Pacific sand lance, ammodytes personatus, in your tanks?

[Jac @JacHuard]

The most fun and always the best part of the research process - the graphical abstract brainstorm.

[Jac @JacHuard]

@6lennybravo @PSPartnership Sometimes they get caught by the tides when they are feeding, avoiding predators, or yes, when they are spawning. Was it in the winter? Then it's likely!

[Jac @JacHuard]

Nervously looking forward to talking about the model we built tomorrow at @PSPartnership https://t.co/ua01hM6yUj

I love when R is trying to be helpful. Unfortunately, I did not rename it.

I've just discovered Scopus. How long has this been here? Why am I under such a big rock?

[Jac @JacHuard]

MSc Chapter 2! Not only does it exist, despite all the excessive highlights, colours, and comments its chugging along well! But do pressure me for answers and completion.

Wish I could go!!! If you're in Vancouver area Nov 17th 5pm at the @beatymuseum UBC, you're in for a visual treat & a strong story. Some cool people are featured @dcscott_BC, @Duffling, @TaraGMartin, Balke, & Marvin Rosenau @bcit

An OpEd I wrote came out today - Move over Chinook & Orca make some room for #pacificsandlance @WWFCanada @cpaws @TaraGMartin https://t.co/PHEO0aojW3

6/6 The maps generated from our model can help inform conservation planning & risk assessments of nearshore activities, e.g. seawalls, or ports, that may alter or remove sand lance habitat. No coast-wide maps exist - guess that's the next project! #ConservationDecisionsLab

[Jac @JacHuard]

Fresh off the press! Our newest paper predicts spawning habitat for #Pacificsandlance, a key #foragefish in the #SalishSea. We find that spawning habitat is rare & vulnerable https://t.co/Ov4ieC2NQB @TaraGMartin #ConservationDecisionsLab @UBCForestry @WWFCanada #CJFAS #OpenAccess

5/6 This MaxEnt HSM considered 9 environmental variables of which 6 contributed to the final model: distance to estuaries, shoreline slope, distance to subtidal habitat, substrate, fetch, and aspect. Distance to estuaries contributed the most. https://t.co/Ov4ieC2NQB #CJFAS

[Jac @JacHuard]

9 Stewardship groups from the #SalishSea have come together to officially form the BC #ForageFish Monitoring Network (#BCFFMN). These groups have already done so much for conservation, together they may just take over the world! @cvpws @MountArrowBR #PeninsulaStreamsSociety

[Jac @JacHuard]

Yes! You can use #edna to survey presence of #sandlance and #surfsmelt. You can also get an idea of density too!
