MASSIVE congrats to my role model & former professor @AmandaVincent1. I couldn’t be any luckier to have learnt from such a strong force, both for marine conservation & for women in STEM. She continues to inspire me beyond the classroom & I strive to be even half as badass as her

[IUCN @IUCN]

Congratulations to @AmandaVincent1, IUCN SSC Seahorse, Pipefish and Seadragon Specialist Group Chair, on winning this year’s @IndyPrize, the world’s leading award for animal conservation.

A huge move but it's hard to believe that a temporary closure for 65 days will relieve the pressure on Bangladesh fishing stocks, especially if followed by business as usual. Convince me otherwise ? https://t.co/ZqEAWOA6bt

Bold and Ambitious! No oil, mining, gas, dumping, OR trawling in Canada’s marine protected areas anymore! So a marine protected area that is actually protected?!? What a concept!!!! #OceanConsvnUBC

[Fisheries and Oceans @FishOceansCAN]

We’re introducing new protection standards in federal marine protected areas to safeguard important areas of the oceans, as well as the fish, whales and other species that call them home. #OurNature

At some point in our shared history, humans may have physiologically adapted to a more liquid lifestyle, living on the shore and in the waves.

Note how much the Mercator projection makes all the rich countries look so big and the poor countries look so small.

I still think that this is one of the coolest videos and topics from #OceanConsvnUBC. This is an awesome example of how media can be used to convey important information that evokes genuine interest and emotion. Great work @pewenvironment https://t.co/b8YSj3xEk3

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This puts me in danger every time.

Almost every time this uncalled for rhetoric gets blasted by conserv. grps, we get a spike in death threats to refer to Capitol Police.

Multiple ppl have been arrested trying to harm me, Ilhan, & others.

@GOP, what’s it going to take to stop?

[Amanda Vincent @AmandaVincent1]

One more reason seagrasses matter lots... along with being vital fish nurseries, sequestering lots of carbon long term, maintaining water quality, stabilizing sea bottoms, hosting a wonderful array of life & being gorgeous. The only flowering plants in the ocean. @ProjectSeagrass

A personal fav: a study found that walking through natural urban (green) spaces increases your mood more than walking through an industrial urban space does

@kaylie_dan @jasminekeller_ @linneamorgan_14 @fass_sea @vanaqua What a class. Teaching #OceanConsvnUBC this year has been one of the great delights of my university career. Thank you all so much. We're going to be working together professionally very very soon, I'm sure.

[Jasmine Keller @jasminekeller_]

@kaylie_dan @linneamorgan_14 @fass_sea @vanaqua @kaylie_dan They spoke about how plastics are easy, feasible, and “sexy” to teach to people of all ages, and are hoping to try to incorporate overfishing into their next installment (6-8 months) so we will see!!!

[Jasmine Keller @jasminekeller_]

@linneamorgan_14 @fass_sea I actually asked the VP of education at @vanaqua last night about the plastic narrative and if/when they were planning on incorporating overfishing into their narrative. Super stoked to hear that you’re taking it upon yourself @linneamorgan_14!!!! #OceanConsvnUBC

[Megan P. Fass @fass_sea]

Habits #OceanConsvnUBC has instilled in me: immense frustration re: oceans/plastics narratives. Catch me telling everyone about overfishing’s threats to the oceans in the comments of the WWF press release your roommate shared on FB I guess

[Jasmine Keller @jasminekeller_]

As @AmandaVincent1 has communicated to us repeatedly these past few months: #WOMENFISH. @DrRashidSumaila reinforces this fact in his discussions about subsidies and the disadvantages of women in the fishing industry. @vanaqua #OceanConsvnUBC

[Jasmine Keller @jasminekeller_]

Congratulations to @DrRashidSumaila on his Murray A. Newman Award for Aquatic Research this evening. An extremely inspiring and brilliant man, communicating science in a profound and impactful way. @vanaqua

[Jasmine Keller @jasminekeller_]

Very excited to be attending the 24th Annual Ocean Awards at @vanaqua this evening. Many intelligent, inspiring, and wonderful speakers and guests here tonight!

[Dr. Jennifer O'Leary @JeniOLeary]

It make me so sad that we are now excited about plastic reefs because we've killed off the living #corals. Shifting baselines of success.

[Pew Environment @pewenvironment]

Something big is on the horizon, past the borders of any country: The #HighSeas.

This week, the @UN is meeting for their 2nd of 4 meetings to protect these vulnerable waters. #OneOceanOnePlanet

[Jasmine Keller @jasminekeller_]

Truly excited to present tomorrow in #OceanConsvnUBC about @susipudjiastuti and her badass leadership in restricting IUU fishing in Indonesian waters. Not only do #womenfish, but #womencontrolfishing. I'm inspired. https://t.co/N4TSxCe1R7
