Our new paper in @NatureComms shows net mangrove carbon loss to be far lower than previously thought - due to restoration success, natural expansion, and remnant carbon. https://t.co/H8IIvxG3YF

Delighted to have received a #DECRA #DE24 for my project ‘Sustainable #Business Models for #Marine #Conservation’. Thanks to all that have supported me at @MonashUni and beyond. And to my five wonderful assessors, do feel free to get in touch - it would be nice to connect. 🐠🦐🐙

New article in @ConversationEDU on my research about the reluctance of big wholesalers and fish markets to use traceability technologies to enhance the #sustainability of #seafood supply chains.

#Blockchain will only cause transformative change in supply chains if all actors see value in using it. New article on ‘innovation resistance’ to #digital #technology in #seafood #supplychains. 🐟🔗🦐

My new paper critiques attempts to develop #ecotourism operations at sites with low ecotourism potential. It highlights the disempowerment and mismanagement that can ensue when revenues are small. #tourism #mangroves #management

Our new paper in Global Environmental Change shows how institutional change can enable Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) in countries that do not have PES laws: https://t.co/OyKQeurH4u

Just uploaded, fascinating study by @SofiaAtSea exploring human costs of enforcement & compliance with #MPAs from perspective of both #rangers & rule-breakers; both sides bear a range of physical, material, psychological & social costs https://t.co/pN3PdAlccd

New paper led by @RSmallscale just out in @PaN_BES! Our analysis explores seasonal shifts in gleaning behaviour in Timor-Leste in relation to food security and ecosystem services. #fisheries #ecosystemservices https://t.co/iEYhZcYHhZ

NEW paper- the current global framing of mangroves as #BlueCarbon is largely neglecting coastal dwellers' interests and rights in mangroves, risking their livelihoods and resource tenure!

What's the right natural (space) mix for your outdoor exercise routine? Be it for walking, jogging, or team-sports, find out "the one", or "the power couple" of green/blue spaces that could raise their take-up and frequency: https://t.co/GtIE4DQ6oA. From yours truly.

New article in @nature: '#EcosystemRestoration can help mitigate #ClimateChange at low costs'

'Conserving ecosystems & restoring 30% of converted land could mitigate 71±4% of extinction debt & sequester 465±59 gigatonnes CO2—49% of CO2 since Indus. Rev.'

Yet another major report (this time from @WorldBank) on integrating international #finance with #biodiversity #restoration. This is really becoming mainstream now. With a handy diagram. https://t.co/WmffGdeKWR
