If you feel deep concern at what is unfolding around the world, you are invited to join us outside the Holywood library this evening 1st march 6pm for a short vigil to remember those lost though wars and conflict. We do not take sides we stand on the side of life and dignity for all humans.

Can we still monitor what we can’t access?
As MPAs & offshore renewables expand, key scientific surveys will be disrupted.
Last week at #WKDISM, experts met to strategize:
How do we adapt surveys to continue with our science?https://www.ices.dk/community/groups/Pages/WKDISM.aspx

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

Enjoy, sounds great while I will be in Copenhagen 😂

I remember viewing that news interview before the elections and was absolutely agog how they could say they trusted Trump more than Harris...

The ICES International Bottom Trawl Survey Working Group (IBTSWG) met in AFBI this week to coordinate and plan scientific surveys that contribute to the sustainable fish stock assessment and advice. The group also enjoyed a presentation about the new AFBI survey vessel by Director Pieter-Jan Schon.

We are hosting the IBTS working group at AFBI in Belfast this week, great discussions and amazing weather @icesmarine.bsky.social and sampled the local food, beer and gin

How did he even think that would go through without issues... That's illegal in any democracy, and he did not even bother to hush it up but advertised it.

A great week in Copenhagen, and I managed to "eat myself around the world" or mostly Asia : Japan, Gambia, Korea, India, Thailand and today... Denmark

Good morning,
After a week of very interesting meetings and disussions at the @icesmarine.bsky.social SciCom meeting now a final day at the herring stock assessment working group.
Love Copenhagen, hard work, but amazing colleagues.@AFBI_NI

Excited to join the International Day of Women and Girls in Science representing the NICS REN (race and ethnicity network)

NOAA Employees Told to Pause Work With ‘Foreign Nationals’ An internal email obtained by WIRED shows that NOAA workers received orders to pause “ALL INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENTS.”

Interference of Trump/Musk with @noaa.gov is very worrying, and is having immediate effects on collaborations, such as participation in @icesmarine.bsky.social work.

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained access to the computer systems at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), claiming to use that access to search for programs and staff linked to diversity policies.

You make it so much fun to listen to, thank you!

So looking forward to this!
