How much light does #seagrass get under different conditions? Artificial intelligence can tell us with very high accuracy... without getting wet! New paper in @STOTEN_journal

@ChristinABuelow Where’s the espresso martini option? :)

@WhySharksMatter Wow. Great communication by changing the forum and misrepresenting the point of the discussion. I'll bring it here... The point was that the graphic used is misleading by not factoring in threats relevant to fisheries, not that fishing is worse than agriculture. Also...

[Dr Ryan Pearson @WorldInPlainEng]

@WhySharksMatter @snakeygirl42 @kimfriedmans @hilbornr @FAOfish @FAO @EFCA_EU @EBCD_bxl As I'm sure u know, many years of no sightings are needed to declare extinction. There's a heap of literature showing that both target and non-target species are threatened with extinction by fishing, including some by yourself... https://t.co/NVNUroKls4

[Dr Ryan Pearson @WorldInPlainEng]

@WhySharksMatter @snakeygirl42 @kimfriedmans @hilbornr @FAOfish @FAO @EFCA_EU @EBCD_bxl Yes, I'm not debating that. I'm simply pointing out that most (not all) categories used in this graphic are barely relevant to fishing, which gives the impression that fishing has very little impact - which is not true. Hence, more words are definitely needed.

[Dr Ryan Pearson @WorldInPlainEng]

@kimfriedmans @WhySharksMatter @hilbornr @FAOfish @FAO @EFCA_EU @EBCD_bxl By *fishing pollution I refer to discarded fishing line and hooks and ghost nets, etc. which have widespread impacts on non-target species.

[Dr Ryan Pearson @WorldInPlainEng]

@kimfriedmans @WhySharksMatter @hilbornr @FAOfish @FAO @EFCA_EU @EBCD_bxl Definitely more words needed. Of course fisheries are going to appear low impact when measured against threats more relevant to terrestrial farming. What if all were ranked against more aquatic relevant threats - bycatch, benthic habitat destruction, fishing pollution, etc.?

I like to think this only happens because you’ve either outsmarted the machine or tried to process advancements that the cabal don’t allow. #academictwitter

Great new paper out, on setting ambitious targets for the global recovery of #mangroves and #seagrass. Led by the amazing @ChristinABuelow, published in @CurrentBiology

[Global Wetlands Project @globalwetlands]

Nations need to work together to recover vital #seagrass & #mangroves ecosystems 🌎🌱

In a new paper led by @ChristinABuelow learn how ambitious global targets can inspire coordinated action to protect & restore these ecosystems.

@ChristinABuelow I don’t feel like I know enough to answer this question.
