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!

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
