@timonroad @BlahaFrancisco I think Bruno has probably got his fair share of personal mark-recapture experiments to relay. I'd guess several have been catch and release without a tag though. Big loss of data there.

Children and scientists interacting - building for the future. Yet another highlight from the 2020 tuna tagging research voyage. #tunascience

[2020 Tuna tagging cruise]
"How far can the tagged tuna travel?"
Children from Kiribati🇰🇮 have sent questions to the SPC tagging cruise, who then replied remotely. This years' tagging expedition is currently voyaging the Kiribati waters & the Phoenix Islands Marine Protected Area

[Neville Smith @NevilleWMSmith]

A great symbiosis - members, the future, and SPC. One year at SPC – The Pacific Island Professionals programme https://t.co/3nBP6fGAYY via @YouTube

The tagging theme continues - the team highlight why this years voyage is scientifically important and economically relevant.

"Pacific could lose US$60m in tuna per year by 2050 due to climate change" - Listen to Dr Simon Nicol, SPC's Principle Fisheries Scientist, live interview, with ABC Radio Australia, during tuna tagging expedition currently underway in Kiribati waters!

My 1st ever tweet was on tuna tagging. This latest story on @SPC_CPS 2020 voyage captures for me the excitement and adventure of this science for management. https://t.co/9e8gI3r0Rj

[Neville Smith @NevilleWMSmith]

@BlahaFrancisco In my view, New Zealand was lucky you chose to take up the opportunity. Kia kaha Francisco.

Great to see the kids involved in this forward thinking initiative @BrianKumasi

[Fishy Business 🇵🇬 @BrianKumasi]

Today staff from NFA and @ExxonMobil_PNG joined with community volunteers at Papa, Lealea and Boera to transplant mangrove seedlings from a nursery onto the foreshore area as part of a mangrove rehabilitation program by NFA. The same also occurred at Gabagaba today.
