Fantastic coverage of SEACHANGE PhD student Zoe Heard's research on historical fisheries exploitation in this article: oceanographicmagazine.com/news/a-centu... Zoe was also interviewed as part of BBC Radio 4's Today program. Listen again here (starting at 1:50:58): www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

A century of overfishing drives UK to imported seafood dependency - Oceanographic

As overfishing depletes domestic fish stocks, UK is importing six times as much seafood from overseas fisheries as it did a century ago

Over the last year, the SEACHANGE team, led by Dr Luke Holman have been working on the publication of a themed issue in the journal Philosophical Transactions entitled “Shifting Seas: Understanding Deep-Time Human Impacts on Marine Ecosystems". doi.org/10.1098/rstb....

Fantastic Seachange meeting in Mainz - exciting eDNA, super shells, interesting isotopes, inspiring ideas, creative colleagues! @seachange-erc.bsky.social @york-bioarch.bsky.social

A couple of years ago we were beginning to see exciting interdisciplinary datasets coming out of @erc.europa.eu 🌍 @seachange-erc.bsky.social 🌊. It was amazing to begin to understand the complex dance of climate 🌡️, humans 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️, and marine biodiversity 🐟🪸 across centuries! ⏳✨

We are very pleased to release this short video which highlights the exciting work being undertaken by the SEACHANGE project in Brazil. Huge thanks to our partners in Brazil and Andre Colonese for making this happen.

Working with us on @seachange-erc.bsky.social, we’re lucky to have Giulia Zampirolo! 🧬✨ She brings deep expertise in ancient metagenomics to help us decode past oceans. 🌊 📢 Her latest paper: 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.cu... 👀 More about Giulia (not on bluesky) 🔗 seachange-erc.eu/people/giuli...

The Exeter team have been busy attending events talking about the role of sclerochronology within the SEACHANGE project. Find out more here: seachange-erc.eu/news/18/37/S...

We'd like to announce that our Work Package 3 will now be focusing on the analysis of transitions during the last 7,000 years in the Babitonga Bay area of Southern Brazil. For more information visit the SEACHANGE website: seachange-erc.eu/research/wp3...

Thanks to the Natural History Museum for the write up of our recent collaborative work sampling some of their archived whale and seal bones.

The recent SEACHANGE annual meeting in Cornwall was a great success. The past year's work and achievements were reviewed and a plan made for the next year of work. It was great for everyone to catch up in person in the stunning location on the the North Cornish coast.
