Just out in MBP: Eutrophication & bottom trawling strongly affect seabed species, traits, & communities across a range of coastal settings. But, when co-occurring, trawling can be ‘masked’ by organic impacts. Natural factors also interact & play key role

science + policy, becomes a publication 💪

No silver bullet - check out these complementary sets of indicators we used to assess progress towards healthy structure and functioning seafloor ecosystems across EU waters 🦞🦀🌊🪸

Bravo @CefasGovUK and @DefraGovUK for all that you did in hosting a wonderful #icesasc24 ! Thanks everyone. The hardest part of the ASC was not being able to be in two great sessions at once, but I’ll look forward to watching some of the talks I missed on the Whova App.

[Joachim Claudet @JoachimClaudet]

More than 80% of EU marine protected areas are ineffective, study shows

Activities such as mining, dredging and bottom trawling in most MPAs mean conservation targets will be missed, say researchers

Congratulations to all of you and thanks to everyone who helped judge the competitions.

New research indicates that fish life histories are affected by sea temperature changes, with faster warming leading to shorter lifespans. Published in @EcogrpahyJourna, researchers looked at life history changes in European #fish populations over the past 25 years. 1/1

What’s Seb been up to at ICES the past 10 years? Deep-sea ecosystems, or VMEs – vulnerable marine ecosystems. Here explained by some of the experts im working with 🦀🪸🦈🐟🦑 https://t.co/q3dUGmbAWp

Friday kudos to Dyveke elementary school in Amager Denmark on their cross-class workshop week on coral/sponges ecosystems (VMEs) and pelagic ecosystems & foodwebs. Fantastic stakeholder engagement, via parents and other kids!

[Bangor University @BangorUni]

Did you catch Professor in Marine Biology, @Macomabalthica on @BBCBreakfast with @BBCJustinR this morning? 👀

He had the opportunity to talk about @sos_bangor_uni research on the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems.

This week, ICES #WKWIND looked at how to assess the trade-offs between offshore renewable energy #ORE developments & fisheries by assessing the economic, social, & ecological consequences, as ICES prepares to work on future advice request related to #ORE. https://t.co/SvXB0MNCFl

[Dr. Sebastian Valanko @SebValanko]

Offshore Renewable Energy development - and knock on effects on the marine environment was this week's inhouse workshop. Great discussions with diverse Social & Economic, Resource management & Conservation - Trade-Offs!

[ICES @ICESmarine]

🌊Offshore renewable energy
With ICES Roadmap for Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE), we are taking a leadership role in developing science & advice for informed policy decisions related to #ORE.
