@wildbusiness @Ana__Nuno @ConBiology Long live the #counterfactual, no matter how you define it. Interesting paper Joe et al, although I dare say I would have done it differently... 😉

These ‘banana pingers’, or audio devices, can deter porpoise away from fishing gear...

We found that support for the ban was related to a myriad of social factors 🦈 Support was lower amongst fishers who had experienced greater socio-economic consequences

A week on from the #OceanDialogues here are 5 key takeaways from our discussion on sustaining the global ocean economy through resilient small-scale #fisheries and supply chains 👇 @IIED @EDFOceans @Manu_FAO @EditrudithLuka1 @DarianMcBain @EddieAllison_ @FriendsofOcean @wef

We cannot just ban #bushmeat out of existence, and to say people can switch to farmed meat is patronising, uninformed, unrealistic & potentially more damaging for the envt. Take it from those who have studied this serious #conservation problem for years; https://t.co/ivljYATaN4

Interesting idea...

This’ll be interesting, and very useful

Join us at @OceansFestUK tomorrow for the UK premiere of Kokoly - a powerful new short film about how the changing marine environment is affecting small-scale fishers in #Madagascar.

The #IPCC Special Report later this month is expected to show that #ClimateChange is pushing fish stocks northward and destabilising catches in the tropics, both complex challenges for #sustainablefishing https://t.co/L9fLfHICjB

One of my biggest sources of @ConservOptimism? Working with young, smart, enthusiastic female scientists like @BenayaSimeon @vidlya @trisha_0405 who are tackling some of the trickiest challenges in #marine #conservation in #India #Indonesia & #Bangladesh! #WomenInSTEM #SharkSquad

[Tim Davies @timkdavies]

A pleasure to share the stage at #ConservationOptimism with @hollieboothie and four tenacious women from Indonesia, India and Bangladesh working with small scale fishers to reduce bycatch of #sharks and #rays @BenayaSimeon @vidlya @mantawatch

💡Using LED lights to reduce bycatch
🦀Switching crab traps to reduce bycatch
🤝Gaining MSC certification to leverage government support

Just some of the examples from small scale MSC certified fisheries @timkdavies is speaking about today in Oxford!

Looking forward to workshopping this in just under an hour...

[Dr Hollie Booth @hollieboothie]

It's @ConservOptimism summit day 2, & this afternoon we'll be discussing innovative approaches for saving #MarineMegafauna, uniting global #fisheries #policy at @MSCecolabel with voices from small-scale fisheries in #India #Bangladesh #Indonesia. Join us! 2pm in PDR breakout room

[Tim Davies @timkdavies]

Definitely find time to visit @Splashleeigh to hear a good news on collaboration that has led to sustainable fishing. Plus she has a game for you to play...

[Ashleigh Arton @Splashleeigh]

Excited for the #ConservationOptimism Summit on Monday! Can't wait to return to Oxford and hear inspiring stories of change. You can find me at the 'not a poster' session from 5-7pm on Tuesday where we will be talking about 'conservation, collaboration and cold water prawns'
