It was a great honor for me to welcome ICES and BlueMissionAA Nature Restoration Webinar today.
www.ices.dk/events/webin...
The ICES community will play key role to play in helping managers & society to address nature restoration requirements providing best available science, advice and services

It was great to talk with IBTS about the crucial role their surveys play in the ever evolving policy and advisory landscape. Consistency is needed as inputs to stock assessment but evolution is essential to address ever more demanding policy questions and increasing constraints - we need a strategy

🎣 How accurate are automated fishing effort estimates from Global Fishing Watch?🌍
✍️ A new #IJMS #EditorsChoice finds #GlobalFishingWatch data can overestimate pelagic fishing effort by as much as 390% & urges stronger science–industry collaboration.
