I really loved working on this paper led by Alejandro García. It evaluates aspects of decent work in Peru's jumbo squid small scale #fishery 🦑. #SSF are key for millions of people's livelihoods, and effective action to address labor concerns in this sector must involve fishers and fish workers.

I'm enjoying watching "Our Oceans" but can't avoid getting a little annoyed by the anthropomorphized narration for wildlife. It's always been there, but I feel it's more intense this time?

Hi Bluesky! My name is Rose Santana, I am a marine ecologist from and science communicator from Dominican Republic! I am currently on an adventure to get into grad school and share cool Marine educational content!
Excited to start my first PADI certification next month 🌊 🤿 Still a little nervous, but it's definitely something I've wanted to do for a while.
A small but mighty list of voices in fisheries conservation, from all sides of the conversation. Add your name please if I missed you and you’d like to be added. go.bsky.app/Hmu7tpm
The first couple of days here have been so nice, I missed having a space just to focus on science and nerdy stuff
Times are changing... 🌊@oceana.bsky.social 🌊@wwf-uk.bsky.social 🌊@rspb.bsky.social 🌊@greenpeaceuk.bsky.social 🌊@deepseaconserve.bsky.social 🌊@ejfoundation.bsky.social 🌊@bluemarinef.bsky.social 🌊@prowildlife.bsky.social ... still waiting among others for Fauna & Flora, WCS, Blue Ventures etc. ⏰😴
🌊Markus Knigge🐟@oceanknigge.bsky.social · 2y agoI am puzzled why 🌊 NGOs seem more sluggish than others to move into this space. All emphasise importance of science, rule of law, values & principles etc. which is hard to combine with the machine twitter has become... Anyone knows? Or can nudge them?
[@Seabirdcentre repost from X] 🧪🪶 A year on from the outbreak of avian flu on the Bass Rock we are finally able to estimate the impact on this internationally important gannet colony. The colony count completed this summer indicates a drop of 25-30% since 2014. www.seabird.org/press-releas...
Here's the beginnings of a starter pack for marine social science content. Let me know if you want to be added to it. We had a strong #MarSocSci community on twitter and I looked forward to welcoming the same over here. go.bsky.app/Sj7NX5D
Looking to read more about #QueerEcology, any recommendations?
In environmental conservation spaces there’s this tendency for those with a social science background to default to a “knowledge gap” model of problems …
Absolutely. We forget that the way we have been trained and our experiences are very different to 99% of people.
Dr. Catherine Macdonald @drcatmac.bsky.social · 2y agoA frustrating component of many scientists believing “we just need to teach people facts to change their behavior” is an inability to recognize most people don’t think or operate the way scientists do. (Scientists, in theory, are carefully trained to change our minds/views in response to new data).
I was looking for ideas around equitable and sustainable supply chains in small scale fisheries when I found a cool shop that sells fish straight from SSF. I just had to go check it out and make some ceviche and razor shells. So good!

Hey, BlueSky! I'm Juan Carlos (aka Juanca), a gay Peruvian 🏳️🌈🇵🇪 scientist in marine conservation 🌊. Tweeting at the intersection of marine ecology, small scale fisheries, and human rights. When out of office: literature, queer culture, pop culture and music, and the fun of trying new things.
