WTO easing in on a possible deal this week, cutting harmful fishing subsidies that prop up unprofitable ventures in overexploited fishing sites

[UBC Media Relations @UBCNews]

Dr. Daniel Pauly, professor at @UBCoceans, says that the countries from which fishing fleets emanate have devastated their fish stocks and have to go elsewhere, competing with each other. via @Reuters https://t.co/8bvRU6pdrh

Loving these lush seagrass fields in #PixarLuca! Seagrass beds are an incredible carbon store and nursery fish habitat and they deserve all the love they can get

[Andrew Van Dam @andrewvandam]

masterful and truly apocalyptic storytelling takes us into the aftermath of a ship fire and the flood of chemicals and plastic “nurdles” killing fish off the coast of sri lanka

We sent a paper on ecosystem impacts of bottom trawling to a conservation journal. It was rejected without review, with advice to send it to a fisheries journal. Bet that wouldn't have happened with forestry or farming. Sick of terrestrial bias.

@kellanwhoop 🤩🤩 I hear some people like to eat them right off the dock!

[Quincy @quincystweets]

Skip the bottom-trawled frozen shrimp and pick up some fresh local spot prawns! Now in season 🦐 #Vancouver

[BuyBC @EatDrinkBuyBC]

It's that time of year again—we're talking about BC spot prawn season! 🦐 Show your support and buy local this fishing season. What's your favourite way to cook spot prawns? 📸: @BCSpotPrawns

Concern mounts that wild Pacific salmon are shrinking in size and catches could collapse https://t.co/ZMYCyEmMHN

Great news reading that Canada's #Budget2021 adding funding to ocean protection and committing to protecting 25% of our oceans by 2025. Our oceans are too important to ignore!

[Quincy @quincystweets]

I met a whole menagerie of memorable marine friends thanks to #OceanConsvnUBC: @RandomBioFacts's Spike the sea cucumber, @meganyuUBC's Mr Haggy the hagfish, @kellanwhoop's Harry the herring 💙

[Fiona Beaty @fionabeaty]

Conservationists & educators tell stories about Harriet the Herring 2 share how important these #BigLittleFish are to life in the Salish Sea!

I created ⬇️ for an elementary school program about Harriet's friend, Calliope the Cloud Sponge

@meganyuUBC @AmandaVincent1 Your tweets and memes were top-level, thanks for being a part of the course! 💙

[Quincy @quincystweets]

@ArielShatsky Apart from the amazing takeaways from this thread I have to applaud you for your dedication to #OceanConsvnUBC in each tweet 😍

Good legislation is so crucial–influencing everything from subsidies to MPAs to allowed gear

[Adalynn Mai @MaiAdalynn]

Individual effort is advertised heavily in conservation, like avoiding plastic bags and straws. Well, compared to the actual scale of ocean destruction, individual effort doesn’t accomplish much. The government and corporation takes the big bulk in pollution #OceanConsvnUBC

[Quincy @quincystweets]

Great to see the local government placing more value on the ocean wildlife over what's beneath the seabed!

[PADI AWARE Foundation @padiaware]

#DeepSeaMining will be permanently banned in the Northern Territory in Australia after an almost decade-long moratorium on the destructive practice run out, the territory government has announced.

Driftnets are harmful to endangered and threatened species because they can get caught as bycatch. This type of fishing gear was banned by the UN over 25 years ago but it's frustrating to hear they're still in use

[Reuters @Reuters]

Illegal driftnet use widespread in Indian Ocean, Greenpeace says https://t.co/ONZUY1IbBG

One of many marshmallow tests we're facing: Full lockdown now or partial lockdown for "2 weeks" ad nauseum

[Quincy @quincystweets]

Lots of optimism and pragmatism from our #OceanConsvnUBC class today as we shared our key takeaways from the course, eager to see the positive changes we'll have a chance to help shape here and beyond

[Quincy @quincystweets]

.@sabinejessen on post-graduation careers for students: there are opportunities to enact change in both government and in NGOs! Room for both and important role for each. Great q from @SamRam_IAm #OceanConsvnUBC

[Quincy @quincystweets]

I learned we can call trawlers "draggers" instead to avoid the confusion, especially when everyone is muffled behind their mask😆

[Ariel Shatsky @ArielShatsky]

This was something we got to chat about during our field trip to Steveston, trolling is much less destructive since it involves trolling fishing lines through pelagic regions of the ocean vs. trawling which disrupts life occupying the ocean floor #OceanConsvnUBC
