Some good information from Dr. @alexwinkrsa for ski-boat anglers about how to effectively catch-and-release fish while bottom fishing...

[SAFER LAB @SAFER_Lab]

On Thursday (07/03/2024 @10:00) in partnership with @KieranHyder @CefasGovUK and @Sepphaukebo from the @envirodefence fund.

Contact @alexwinkrsa if you would like to attend

We are pleased to announce that four SAFER lab members (@alexwinkrsa @wpotts18 @MattWFarthing Chris Bova) will be attending the World Fisheries Congress in Seattle, WA, next week and very excited to be hosting a @OneOceanHub Hub on governing recreational fisheries in LMIC 1/2

Evidence for pro-environmental
reform on the SFSA Facebook group!

This paper underscores the potential of what can be accomplished by a dedicated group of people, promoting a conservation-oriented mindset, using a ubiquitous instrument of change.

This meta-analysis shows that #MPAs can enhance carbon sequestration, coastal protection, biodiversity, reproduction and increase fishers’ catch and income. But only in really protected and older MPAs. @MPAsSA1

PhD opportunity with Neil Metcalfe, @mikemwebster, & myself. Why are some individuals within species more social than others? This seems to relate to energy demand, but does mitochondrial efficiency play a role? You could find the answer!

A very interesting read incorporating the intensity and duration of stressors, stressors in combination, various types of plasticity, and interspecific variation. Congratulations @MadisonEarhart and co.

We have had a great response to our #OceanLiteracy survey. Thank you. It's still open if you have not responded. The results will be shared to help us all to do more effective ocean communication. @wiomsa #WIOMSA2022 @WIOGEN1 @NCSecretariat #marsocsci @2OceansAquarium

[Judy Mann-Lang @eduoceans]

And a very clear call for more science communication. Maybe now is the time to seriously work together for more #scicomm in the @wiomsa community. Anyone want to join us? #WIOMSA2022 @2OceansAquarium @marinajoubert @SciBraai @NRF_SAIAB

Great session on recreational fisheries at #WIOMSA2022. So much more research needed in this field. Well done @MattWFarthing @alexwinkrsa @NWambiji @billfishExpert @SAFER_Lab @wpotts18 @wiomsa #RecFish

[Billfish_Western Indian Ocean @billfishwio]

Happening now at #WIOMSA2022 is our Special Session on Marine Recreational Fisheries (MRF) in the WIO. Good start on context setting; What do we know about MRF? What are the implications of COVID19 on MRF in Africa? What are the potential impacts of fishing tourism?

[Judy Mann-Lang @eduoceans]

Fascinating results of research in #MPAs in Tanzania. Between 2003 and 2021 the social impacts of the MPAs were positive. @MPAsSA1 @2OceansAquarium #WIOMSA2022

[WIOMSA @wiomsa]

Kicking off! #WIOMSA2022 starts. Stay tuned for live updates.

[Matthew William Farthing @MattWFarthing]

A big thanks to everyone who participated in our special session where we discussed marine recreational fisheries in the Western Indian Ocean. Lots of interesting thoughts were shared, and I am looking forward to collaborating! #WIOMSA2022 @alexwinkrsa @billfishExpert @NWambiji

Come check out our exhibit promoting the new Coastal Fishes of the Western Indian Ocean book at #WIOMSA2022 🌊 registered participants are receiving the electronic copies of all volumes in their registration pack 📖 #CFWIO

[SAFER LAB @SAFER_Lab]

Time-honored, collective knowledge gathered by specialists, (fishers’ ecological knowledge), used in conjunction with traditional sampling significantly assists in life history studies in cases of data-deficient species and limited research funding.
Well done Ryan and co-authors!

[WIOMSA @wiomsa]

Special sessions at the #WIOMSA2022 provide opportunities to engage and delve deep into WIO matters! 🌊🌴
Look out for these special session on marine recreational #fisheries and the role of co-design in transforming marine science 🌊
