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.

Specifically, our chapter deals with digital data mining and the solutions and challenges that recreational fisheries need to manage in the immediate future to integrate such data into monitoring and management

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

🐟 What do young Atlantic bluefin tuna eat in the Mediterranean?
📍 We studied their diet in the Gulf of Valencia over 30 years.
🔍 Have their habits changed? Are they affecting sardines and anchovies?

1️⃣ What do fish do when they see a human underwater?

We studied how white seabream (Diplodus sargus) react when approached by a snorkeler or a spearfisher. Do they flee sooner when alone or in a group? 🤿

HumanFear estudiarà com la presència humana sota l’aigua altera el comportament dels peixos | Institut de Ciències del Mar El projecte HumanFear, liderat per l’Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC), va començar oficialment el passat mes de març amb una reunió inaugural celebrada al Port de la Selva (Girona), a la qual van assistir representants de l’administració, ONG, centres de busseig, científics i associacions ciutadanes.

👀 Are fish afraid of us?
The #HumanFear project, led by @valeriosbra.bsky.social, investigates if activities like snorkeling and recreational spearfishing 🤿alter fish behavior and, at the same time, the dynamics of marine ecosystems.

🛥️What does environmental stewardship mean? 🤔
A new study shows that differing definitions can cause conservation conflicts. Using thought experiments and the Delphi process, researchers highlight how understanding these differences improves management.
