I, along with 6 others in the past 4 years, left this lab too. Leaving was really hard, but staying is harder. Erin, any place you go is so lucky to have you. Luckily for me we’re labbies again 🕺

I am honestly terrified to post this but it has to be said. Medication and/or therapy shouldn’t be necessary to get through graduate school and we should NOT have to tolerate manipulation, harassment, or abuse. Take care of yourselves ♥️ #AcademicTwitter

Led by @KatMillage, our new paper proposes a novel institution that utilizes leased fishing zones inside of MPAs to finance monitoring and enforcement. We find that these areas can fully finance enforcement, deter illegal fishing, and maximize fish biomass https://t.co/Csbzecvcom

"The areas that the fishers considered closing came from ecological considerations, but the areas that they ultimately decided to close were ones that were socially acceptable to close due to equity considerations." - @commonertasha on fisheries research🐟 https://t.co/y8unDvCDjD

#Irish #fishing #communities have commissioned their own documentary to highlight the crisis in #coastal communities which they say has been caused by decades of unfair #EU fishing policy.

Sustainable fisheries management can help strengthen fisheries with #ClimateChange in mind and for those who rely on them.

Listen to #GulfOfMexico fisherman @Buddy_KSFM speak about improvements in the Gulf red snapper fishery, now on @AccuWeather. https://t.co/OCM5xpBEKR

Fish retailing in Egypt is dominated by women. However, most have limited means to transport or store their fish, resulting in #foodloss & reduced income.

@WorldFishCenter is improving the livelihoods of women retailers 👇

Around 35% of food harvested from aquatic #foodsystems is lost or wasted.

Low-cost, accessible innovations ensure a continuous flow of food availability and reduce chances of nutrition and economic losses throughout #aquaticfoods supply chains: https://t.co/bAQCliSS8K

.@FAO fishing areas around the 🌎 are a valuable tool for ensuring

🐟 traceability
🐟 quality
🐟 safety

They are also key to #sustainable management of marine resources 🐟.

So you, the consumer, can make better choices about what you buy 😉 👇

Honestly, I really think that many conservation organizations need to start doing much more than hiring part-time & temporary human dimensions consultants or social scientists. For many orgs, this is not sufficient to fulfill their capacity needs. #marsocsi #consocsci
