@world_fisheries please consider hosting future meetings in Africa! So many important voices are being left out of the conversation bc of lack of funding to travel to these meetings… perpetuating lack of access to these important professional networks

This whole thread, but especially this tweet, really hits home

Really enjoyed the talk by @HaltBycatch ! Did you know the vast majority of shark species caught by shark nets and drum lines in KZN are non-target (non-dangerous) species? #conservationsymposium

[Ceci Cerrilla @CeciCerrilla]

Excellent talk by @murray_taryn covering the use of acoustic telemetry networks in measuring the efficacy of MPAs in protecting highly mobile species in South Africa. Movement ecology is so cool! #conservationsymposium @ATAP_ZA

Sharing this again, since I’ve heard the term used a bunch during this conference. Most of the time when we use the term “stakeholder” we’re really referring to our partners. Let’s work towards more inclusive and aware language #conservationsymposium

[Ceci Cerrilla @CeciCerrilla]

Just learned this today. Thanks @moekajee for sharing with me 🙏🏼

[Ceci Cerrilla @CeciCerrilla]

Thanks for the kind words! It’s been so special to connect with folks doing similar work across the country #conservationsymposium

[Ceci Cerrilla @CeciCerrilla]

What does it mean to be a citizen scientist? There are more ways to get involved than you know. Check out this piece written ahead of the upcoming @conservationsym in KZN. So excited to be featured and attend! https://t.co/gOCHMNXhpz

Anyone know how to migrate a Mendeley library to Zotero WITH annotations? Or even just export a PDF with annotations? I seem to have exhausted my google options.

Do I know anyone attending The Conservation Symposium in KZN Oct 31-Nov 4? (Main hub or regional hub)?

@erlundberg Here you go! 😁https://t.co/01PfySnRPK

@erlundberg Ha! So cool! The other day I was driving out of my field site and someone stopped my car to ask for directions, noticed my car magnet and asked if I was that person who was on the radio talking about sandfish a couple weeks back 😂😂😂

[Ceci Cerrilla @CeciCerrilla]

Sandfish are fucked. Enter us!
