Today Maria Grazia Pennino presented the #FAME project at the Flash Talks during the 2nd OSCARS Annual General Meeting. Great to share the project we are starting with the OSCARS Project community and partners working to advance Open Science across Europe. ICM-CSIC

🚨 Paper alert! New study co‑authored by @valeriosbra.bsky.social shows why understanding behaviour is crucial to predicting and managing invasive species. 📸Online photos & videos can reveal behaviour patterns that traditional monitoring often misses. Read it: short.do/wirYnS @icmcsic.bsky.social

Happy to share our cornerstone book on disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches for recreational fisheries management with a specific focus on understanding recreational fishers link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9… @icmcsic.bsky.social @imares-group.bsky.social @csic.es @csicdivulga.bsky.social

The Digital Data Mining chapter is a personal favourite - couldn't have done it without you and the rest of the author team!

Rec fishing platforms aren’t just passive data sources - they’re powerful tools for engagement, education, and behaviour change. Our Digital Data Mining chapter explores how these data can reshape fisheries research & outreach. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1... #recreationalfisheries #citizenscience

Digital Data Mining

Recreational fishers who interact with internet-connected and smart devices generate large volumes of digital data that can be mined to gain valuable and often unique insight into recreational fisher ...
