Hi Everyone.Time for #BIMSRollCall. My name is Eric, a Marine Biologist from Kenya. My work involves identifying bottlenecks to resilience and recovery for coral communities in one of the world’s oldest MPAs. Happy to part of #BlackInMarineScience #BlackinMarineScienceWeek

@YvonneOkwara @citizentvkenya DG, if PSV vehicles undergo inspection, why do many still appear unroadworthy? Is this due to weak enforcement, limited capacity, or integrity gaps in the inspection process?

[@Eric @eric_nira]

@YvonneOkwara @citizentvkenya DG, how feasible is nationwide vehicle inspection given the limited number of inspection centres? What will NTSA do to prevent congestion, delays, and access challenges for motorists?

🚨Blackmailing. Intimidation. Neo-colonial brutality.

What the EU is doing right now in Kenya in crucial negotiations TORPEDOES the future of marine life and climate.

Reality is beyond fiction.
A MUST READ.

Thread of truth and anger 🧵

A welcome call from fishers and government officers in Ngomeni today. The second sunfish has been fished. The first encounter, this October at Watamu. What will pop up next? Historical sightings for Kenyan marine waters, studies @KmfriResearch

[Dr. David Shiffman 🦈 @WhySharksMatter]

Hi friends! Excited to report that we have a new open-access paper out today in Scientific Reports: "the role and value of science in shark conservation advocacy!"

We (@NickDulvy @dr_catmac Scott Wallace and I) surveyed shark conservation advocates.

[Shark Advocates @SharkAdvocates]

Apex predator sharks are indeed important and worth saving. #SharkLeague will keep urging @NOAAFisheries to end its quest to continue 🇺🇸 North Atlantic shortfin mako fishing against scientific advice. Please #FollowTheScience for #ICCAT ban. #KnowSharksBetter #MakeOrBreak4Makos

[WCS @TheWCS]

In honor of #SharkWeek next week, check out 5 things you may not know about these apex predators. Globally, #sharks are in trouble due to overfishing, but there are signs of hope. https://t.co/HMv5UgxCgs

In 2020, scientists discovered a sanctuary off the coast of Kenya and Tanzania - a deep channel of cool water where threatened species of corals, sharks, and whales still thrive amid climate change.

🎥 Coming soon...

We are excited to announce our cinematic film in collaboration with @EULIFERemedies on seagrass in Cornwall ahead of the G7 summit next month🌱

It is our hope that this film will inspire conservation efforts for one of the worlds most threatened ecosystems.
