New study finds fishing-fleet movements can reveal marine-ecosystem shifts UC Santa Cruz researchers show how vessel-tracking data mirrored tuna roaming beyond their typical territory due to unusually warm ocean temperatures

Just in time for the holidays, can VMS fleet data be used as ecosystem sentinel information? Why yes it can! And fishing fleets are highly responsive to changing ecosystem conditions.

Data integration improves species distribution forecasts under novel ocean conditions Accurate forecasts of species distributions in response to changing climate is essential for proactive management and conservation decision-making. However, species distribution models (SDMs) often h...

Thrilled to share our new Ecography paper! 🌊🐟

We put species distribution models to the test during marine heatwaves and found that integrating diverse data types through joint-likelihood approaches makes forecasts more resilient under novel ocean conditions.
