So I’ve been very quiet on the socials of late. Too much phone, too much work & over the past two weeks too much #COVID19. We were diagnosed officially last week after having mad fatigue, fever, aches, a cough that seems to never end & shortness of breath 1/10

@BlahaFrancisco I struggle to find the utility in research like that. I guess it's impressive that they are in the same ballpark?

[Andrew Hunt @hunttalksfish]

Had the opportunity to speak about port state measures today with a lot of wise people in Pacific fisheries. How do we go from good intentions to reality?

[Andrew Hunt @hunttalksfish]

All eyes on Fiji tonight. Hoping for a safe passing of the storm with minimal damage.

[Frank Bainimarama @JVBainimaramafj]

Over 850,000 Fijians are in the direct path of the world’s strongest storm, Category 5 #TCYasa.

That is more than 95% of Fiji’s population.

Prepare, take cover, take care, and #PrayForFiji.

Huge news in the Pacific!

@JustLittleOldL @WTCoryell @hypervocal Seems like the kind of thing evil universes would do, no?

Really cool heirloom fishing methods for Pacific fishers. In the last 6 years in my travels around the Pacific, I've seen a lot of creative and innovative fishing methods, but this one is new to me!

[Neville Smith @NevilleWMSmith]

It is pictures, communities and heritage like this that keeps me motivated at work

[Andrew Hunt @hunttalksfish]

Spoke on a panel this morning about the importance of redesigning large meetings to fit Zoom, rather than just moving it online with the same old program. Your audience deserves better than a lazy copy and paste!

[Andrew Hunt @hunttalksfish]

Check out this great article from one of our recent #fisheries professionals at @spc_cps ! https://t.co/EAilhBgVtl

This is why port state measures are important, and traceability of catch. #tuna traceability is not a technical problem, it's a political and legislative challenge.

@BlahaFrancisco @MichaelFieldNZ @dwatchnews_pac @GlobalFishWatch @itsLuiNotLouis Tokelau-licensed foreign vessels, I presume? Since they don't have flagged vessels.

[Andrew Hunt @hunttalksfish]

During this era of no travel we are BAU at @spc_cps. For the last 4 years we have set up a huge network of #fisheries data managers across the #Pacific that converse and work remotely daily. We can't do the big one-off trainings anymore, but our day to day work is unchanged.

[Cameron Diver @Cameron_Diver]

We’re underway at @spc_cps for the 12th Heads of #Pacific #Fisheries meeting.Engaging via videolink w/ our #PacificCommunity Members + partners around the region on strategy, #COVID19 impacts & our work in oceanic & coastal fisheries, aquaculture + sustainable resource management

[Andrew Hunt @hunttalksfish]

Really excited to be facilitating today at the virtual Heads Of Fisheries (HOF) meeting at @spc_cps with Palau and FSM
