The temporary fishing closures decided by the EU are insufficient to protect the increasingly endangered European eel. This weeks AGRIFISH should take the decisive action advised by @icesmarine.bsky.social for years: a complete fishing ban. New policy memo: www.su.se/english/divi...
Hundreds of areas in Swedish marine waters are contaminated by past industrial activities such as sawmills, pulp and paper mills, steelworks and ports. Is it sometimes better to leave contaminated sediments undisturbed until safer solutions are available? www.su.se/balticseacentre/balticbreakfast
Although small and difficult to study, microorganisms play a vital role in sustaining life in the oceans. They are central to nutrient and biogeochemical cycling and help regulate climate gases such as methane. They are also the topic for next Baltic Breakfast! www.su.se/english/divi...

New Baltic Breakfast coming up! Marine biodiversity encompasses far more than just the number of species. Hear about functional diversity at this seminar with Monika Quinones Winder & Kinlan Jan, @stockholm-uni.bsky.social

Management of fisheries in the Baltic Sea has generally failed to meet its objectives. Two recently published scientific articles dive deeper into the reasons. Welcome to a seminar where @hsvedang.bsky.social and Eva Papaioannou present the findings and discuss the implications for future policy!
"Zero catches in all habitats" – @icesmarine.bsky.social advice on European eel remains unchanged. However, the new Swedish management plan presented this autumn still allows for commercial fishing for soon-ready-to-spawn eels.

How big a risk is it reasonable to take – with our fish stocks, our marine environment, our food security? How seriously do fisheries ministers take their targets? How seriously do the ministers take their own rules? Next week EU’s ministers meet to make a deal on Baltic Sea fisheries 2026.
Mistra funds broad research collaboration on coastal restoration! @stockholm-uni.bsky.social will lead Mistra Back2Future which will gather researcher from among others SLU, @sthlmresilience.bsky.social & @uu.se, and lay the foundation for a national centre for restoration.
"Heading in the right direction" – fisheries researchers Sara Söderström and @hsvedang.bsky.social comments on the proposed TACs from @ec.europa.eu. For several stocks the proposed catches are significantly lower than the range presented by @icesmarine.bsky.social.

A new study led by Carolin Seiferth shares insights from a collaboration between researchers and composers at the Baltic Sea Festival Science Lab 2023.
It highlights 3 principles that make art-science collaborations work: safe-enough spaces, embracing the process & joint reflection: buff.ly/UKC2BuC
