Challenges and opportunities for integrating aquaculture with commercial fishing in Maine Aquaculture or the farming of aquatic species is often viewed as a diversification opportunity for commercial fishers dependent on variable wild stockโ€ฆ

Excited to share our recent paper, part of my ongoing research on integrating marine shellfish and seaweed aquaculture and fishing in Maine. And my first bluesky post!

Getting several responses to my "here are some tips to communicate your science to the public" thread along the lines of "if other people don't understand what I do, it's because they're stupid and that's not anything I can fix."

If you believe this, you are a bad teacher and a bad scientist.

Advice for U.S. Government Scientists: Lessons Learned From the โ€˜Muzzlingโ€™ of Their Canadian Counterparts โ€ข The Revelator The next four years will be awful for the science and conservation community. By learning from past experiences, we can minimize the damage.

What can government scientists do now to minimize the damage thatโ€™s coming over the next four years, and what can we do to help them? I spoke to several experts to write this story for The Revelator

Please share widely. ๐Ÿงช๐ŸŒŽ

Leaving the niche: Recommendations for mainstreaming Low Trophic Aquaculture in countries around the Atlantic basin Low Trophic Aquaculture (LTA) is the farming of aquatic organisms such as primary producers (e.g., seaweeds) and primary consumers (e.g. bivalves). Deโ€ฆ

Curious about governance surrounding Low-Trophic/Integrated Multi-Trophic #Aquaculture and what can be done to encourage the development of this key blue industry for future food security and reduced environmental pressures?
Have a read of this new paper:
