The Dutch #fishing sector is experiencing great difficulties, due to Brexit, wind@sea, MPAs, and other policies seriously impacting the #Dutch fishing sector. Quitting fishing is a tough decision, as fishing is part of their #identity. Watch this video: https://t.co/u1iQvMKPmg
Delighted to see my paper out in @NatureEcoEvo showing how warming and apex predators induce a freshwater trophic cascade via indirect effects through the food web, following an epic field experiment in Hengill, Iceland! https://t.co/niZuBdN44l
Things began to look very unusual two months ago.
Today the charts need no commentary, they speak for themselves.
This is the Atlantic.

🚨 Postdoc opportunity - please share!!
My lab at WHOI is hiring a postdoc to help develop planktonic ecosystem models for the Northwest Atlantic. More details in the link and thread below - please reach out with any questions! https://t.co/VvS0POTkgs
🚨 Advice release: ICES response to @EU_ENV request to advise on methods for assessing adverse effects on #seabed#habitats has been released today.

Good study supporting anonymous reviews. Finds strong evidence for status bias: 23% recommend “reject” when prominent researcher is identified, 48% do so when paper is anonymized, & 65% do so when little-known author is the only author shown. https://t.co/KMQG13zpEo
A step forward in the protection of deep-sea vulnerable ecosystems.
@EU_Commission acts to close 87 sensitive zones to all bottom gears in the 🇪🇺 waters of the North-East Atlantic, after extensive consultations with Member States & stakeholders.

As EU considers regulation of fishing in association with vulnerable marine ecosystems #VMEs, note how @NAFO1979@NEAFCsec are global leaders in monitoring, assessment & implementation. I am pleased that @ICES_ASC is working in partnership https://t.co/ta66vPGP7K
Experts invited to join ICES WKBENTH2
What makes a good indicator?
Is seafloor integrity at a level that ensures the structure and function of the ecosystem are safeguarded & benthic ecosystems are not adversely affected?

New paper at @OceanLifeCentre. We estimate for any group the maximum population growth rate (invasion rate) from three major traits: the adult mass, the somatic growth rate, and the adult:offspring mass ratio.

Not all species groups obey -1/4 metabolic scaling laws. Species where adult:offspring size ratio is not a constant (fish and bivalves) have non-metabolic scaling. New paper by @DenechereR in @ASNAmNat: https://t.co/XV5vd7cZK1
📢 2 FULLY FUNDED PhD positions @OceanLifeCentre. We seek a oceanographer/mathematican/physicist/ecol. modeller to work with global size-based plankton models in the context of climate change. https://t.co/5YfvsEKnbV. Deadline Feb 15; start in 2022. Write for more info. Please RT
