New review article on best practices for marine conservation planning published in @PeerJSTM peerj.com/articles/21085 #ConservationBiology #Ecology #EcosystemScience #MarineBiology #NaturalResourceManagement
Hey #fish and #ocean friends! The #IMCC8 call for abstracts is open!
My favorite international collection of practitioners and researchers all in once place. Though always room to do better, @scbmarine.bsky.social does *standout* work to gather disciplines, geographies, ages, job types, etc. 🌏🦑🌊🧪
A great set of practical suggestions on how to overcome language barriers in science, from our project member/collaborator @henryarenas.bsky.social and @vramirezc.bsky.social, also highlighting some of our work.

New paper using #Marxan to design networks of conservation areas across freshwater and marine ecosystems dx.doi.org/10.1111/1365...
🌍 New paper just published! We reviewed 20 years of #marine #SystematicConservationPlanning worldwide and found a striking gap between theory and real-world implementation. We also identify context-specific good practices to close it. 🐟🌊🌐🌍🧪

We invite applications for a PhD student to work on the microbiomes of crustose coralline algae (CCA) across tropical mangrove–seagrass–reef corridors.
We have done so much climate change research, if they made a big pile of it you could climb up to the afternoon sun and tape a sheet over it to cool things down
The call for abstracts is open for #IMCC8!
We welcome global, interdisciplinary, and student-led contributions. Help shape the future of ocean conservation.

This study highlights the importance of integrating cross-realm connectivity and threat propagation when designing new or expanding existing networks of conservation areas, such as the Natura 2000 Eu...
Rivers and seas are connected—so #conservation should be too. 🌍
Our just published research shows that protecting nature works best when we account for how species move and how pollution spreads across ecosystems.
