A couple of weeks ago I presented my work on a sensitivity analysis of fish spcies in the Northeast Atlantic at @embssymposium.bsky.social in Bodø Norway. Thanks for the opportunity! 🐟🌊

Multiple sensitivity metrics are needed to adequately assess a species’ sensitivity for conservation and management Abstract. Fish populations are declining globally due to increasing anthropogenic pressures. While research has been carried out to understand the impacts

Delighted to see the first chapter of my PhD published in the @icesmarine.bsky.social journal of marine science!

This paper discusses developing a holistic understanding of the sensitivity of fish species in our seas and offers practical recommendations for enchanced species mgmt & protection. 🦈🐟

This silky shark is using its nictitating membrane, a protective inner eyelid, as it swims up close to the camera. Sharks usually expose this membrane just prior to feeding, or when they encounter another shark, as a way to protect their eyes from potential injury.

Last call! Our next Important Shark and Ray Areas workshop will focus on the European Atlantic. Preliminary areas of interest must be submitted by April 18th.

Please spread the word to interested colleagues!

It's Ireland's Women in Sport Week! 💚

Growing up I thought I was "unsporty", but I finally realised that isn't a thing. Sports are for everyone, you just need to find the right people to play with. Happy #WIS week to my fellow tag rugby-playing women from work. Can't wait to start this season! 🏉

It's so frustrating to sit back and watch conservation effort after conservartion effort thwarted by the hands of people who refuse to accept the reality of what's happening to this planet

Really cool footage in this article! The Irish for "cuttlefish" is "cudal" & the Irish for "crab" is "portán" 🐙🦀 #OceanAsGaeilge

That's a wrap on this leg of the Irish Anglerfish & Megrim survey! 🎣 The ocean wasn't particularly kind to us, but it's always great to step away from the laptop and get back to the ocean for a bit 🌊

The Marine Institute of Ireland's summer bursary programme is open for applicants for 2 more days!

I did this programme back in 2012 (😳) & absolutely loved it. If you know any 3rd level students looking for hands on experience in marine science I would definitely encourage them to apply 🌊

The sun has *finally* come out here in Galway & I hope it's as dry and bright wherever you are too! It's a lovely day for a little beachcomb, so if anyone stumbles across any mermaids' purses this weekend be sure to submit them to our online sighting form!

Hi! I'm a #marinebiologist researching data poor & rare #sharks & #rays. I'm running away from the bird app before it implodes 🙃

If I'm not posting about #elasmobranchs I'm usually spreading my love of #Irish by sharing marine themed posts as Gaeilge w/ #OceanAsGaeilge. It's fun - stick around! (:
