Happy to share that my work on shrimp in Pamlico Sound, America's largest lagoonal estuary, is now out in @PLOSONE! 🦐🥳🌊 Caught the largest white shrimp I've ever seen in the field the other day and he was intrigued! @CoastalECU https://t.co/MASgbxYsEa

Chapter 4 writing cluster representing Hawai’i, Aotearoa, Chile/Rapa Nui, and Fiji. I’m humbled by the values plus the breadth and depth of collective knowledge amongst these gentlemen which is paralleled by their humility and passion for people and place. Stronger together.

“I could feel myself starting to cry because I just couldn’t afford a piece of fish.”

Pension poverty is a stark reality thousands of Kiwis wake up to every day. @sundaytvnz spoke to three pensioners who opened up about their struggles.
