Thrilled to share my article on Kivalina Search and Rescue! SAR is critical in keeping people safe from the challenges of climate change in NW Alaska! We've worked together for 3 yrs and raising funds for a first responder training in June (see thread)!! https://t.co/EjZp4rDQTI

"Fishing communities have first-hand, local ecological knowledge, and while their assessment of climate vulnerability may differ from vulnerability as measured by subject experts, it’s a critical piece of the puzzle." - Dr. Laura Nelson https://t.co/AweTttCDlA

[Lenfest Ocean Program @LenfestOcean]

New research published in @PLOSClimate shows that climate change is often not the greatest immediate concern for fishing communities operating along the U.S. West Coast. https://t.co/Dg1yogQIFp

"Perceptions of climate vulnerability play an important role in behavior and will be a factor in how and to what extent individuals take action to adapt to climate change." https://t.co/AweTttCDlA

[Oceans Initiative @oceansresearch]

With support from @LenfestOcean @pewenvironment, @OceanModeling & colleagues developed statistical tools to make sustainability assessments much more tractable for data-poor regions. A lot more work is needed

[Lenfest Ocean Program @LenfestOcean]

Led by Dr. Laura Nelson, the study assessed fishers operating in the California Current along Washington, Oregon & California, about the degree to which they personally felt vulnerable to climate change and the ability of the industry to respond and adapt. https://t.co/Dg1yogQaPR

[The Nature Conservancy in Washington @Conserve_WA]

How do fishers view vulnerability and the impacts of climate change on fisheries? A new research study published this week by Dr. Laura Nelson et al. in the journal PLOS Climate looked at 162 surveys conducted with fishers across CA, OR, and WA

Attending #SMM2022? Don't miss THIS Sunday's all-day workshop with @tessafrancis & @puntae1 - "Assessment Approaches to Support Bycatch Management for Marine Mammals." They will be in Room 1G, you can join in person or virtually! https://t.co/VIyWR2BBku

[Lenfest Ocean Program @LenfestOcean]

Assessment Approaches to Support Bycatch Management for Marine Mammals is out now from members of the @OceanModeling Forum #MarineMammal #bycatch work group members. Access the e-book, for free, here: https://t.co/6jgD0VbqH3

[Tessa Francis @tessafrancis]

New e-book! Assessment Approaches to Support Bycatch Management for Marine Mammals, edited by @OceanModeling #MarineMammal #bycatch work group members. Open access! Free for you! https://t.co/EAVxnwfHcK @LenfestOcean

[Lenfest Ocean Program @LenfestOcean]

From executing an assessment of #MarineMammal #bycatch to acting on the results of that assessment (and everything in-between), the @OceanModeling Forum’s Marine Mammal Bycatch Working Group has best practices for every step of the way! https://t.co/hezjnGdAc8
