Some good information from Dr. @alexwinkrsa for ski-boat anglers about how to effectively catch-and-release fish while bottom fishing...
We are pleased to announce that four SAFER lab members (@alexwinkrsa @wpotts18 @MattWFarthing Chris Bova) will be attending the World Fisheries Congress in Seattle, WA, next week and very excited to be hosting a @OneOceanHub Hub on governing recreational fisheries in LMIC 1/2
On Thursday (07/03/2024 @10:00) in partnership with @KieranHyder @CefasGovUK and @Sepphaukebo from the @envirodefence fund.
Contact @alexwinkrsa if you would like to attend
Evidence for pro-environmental
reform on the SFSA Facebook group!
This paper underscores the potential of what can be accomplished by a dedicated group of people, promoting a conservation-oriented mindset, using a ubiquitous instrument of change.

This meta-analysis shows that #MPAs can enhance carbon sequestration, coastal protection, biodiversity, reproduction and increase fishers’ catch and income. But only in really protected and older MPAs. @MPAsSA1

PhD opportunity with Neil Metcalfe, @mikemwebster, & myself. Why are some individuals within species more social than others? This seems to relate to energy demand, but does mitochondrial efficiency play a role? You could find the answer!

A very interesting read incorporating the intensity and duration of stressors, stressors in combination, various types of plasticity, and interspecific variation. Congratulations @MadisonEarhart and co.

We have had a great response to our #OceanLiteracy survey. Thank you. It's still open if you have not responded. The results will be shared to help us all to do more effective ocean communication. @wiomsa #WIOMSA2022 @WIOGEN1 @NCSecretariat #marsocsci @2OceansAquarium
Here is the link to the South African #OceanLiteracy survey. We will share the results widely and use them to design more effective ocean communication. Please help us by completing the survey and sharing it. 🙏 @2OceansAquarium @saambr #marsocsci surveymonkey.co.uk/r/OLinSou…

And a very clear call for more science communication. Maybe now is the time to seriously work together for more #scicomm in the @wiomsa community. Anyone want to join us? #WIOMSA2022 @2OceansAquarium @marinajoubert @SciBraai @NRF_SAIAB
Interesting presentation discussing opportunities for the science community to co-create with costal artists 👏🏾👏🏾 #ProjectKalluum #WIOMSA2022 @wiomsa

Great session on recreational fisheries at #WIOMSA2022. So much more research needed in this field. Well done @MattWFarthing @alexwinkrsa @NWambiji @billfishExpert @SAFER_Lab @wpotts18 @wiomsa #RecFish

Happening now at #WIOMSA2022 is our Special Session on Marine Recreational Fisheries (MRF) in the WIO. Good start on context setting; What do we know about MRF? What are the implications of COVID19 on MRF in Africa? What are the potential impacts of fishing tourism?

Fascinating results of research in #MPAs in Tanzania. Between 2003 and 2021 the social impacts of the MPAs were positive. @MPAsSA1 @2OceansAquarium #WIOMSA2022

A big thanks to everyone who participated in our special session where we discussed marine recreational fisheries in the Western Indian Ocean. Lots of interesting thoughts were shared, and I am looking forward to collaborating! #WIOMSA2022 @alexwinkrsa @billfishExpert @NWambiji

Special sessions at the #WIOMSA2022 provide opportunities to engage and delve deep into WIO matters! 🌊🌴
Look out for these special session on marine recreational #fisheries and the role of co-design in transforming marine science 🌊
