Using Math to Protect Fish in the Ocean
Have you ever wondered how scientists count fish in the ocean? Fish are always moving, and the ocean is huge, so counting them is not easy! Scientists use stock assessments, a method that gathers clues such as how many fish are caught by fishing boats, how many are seen in surveys, and how fast fish grow. Using math and computer models, scientists predict how fish populations will change in the future. If too many fish are caught, there might not be enough left to reproduce, which is called overfishing. Stock assessments help managers decide how many fish can be safely caught. Scientists also protect special areas where fish lay eggs to help their numbers grow. By understanding stock assessments, we can help keep fish in the ocean for future generations. Thanks to ongoing work of scientists, we can enjoy fish today while making sure there are plenty left for tomorrow.

How can ocean models help us face climate risks❓ 🌍

Meet @moirai-project.bsky.social, the European project shaping the future of ocean modelling. 🌊

We at @iMARES_group, from @ICMCSIC, are proud partners!

🔗all info about the project:
Moirai
MOIRAI, named after the three Greek goddesses of fate, stands as a pioneering project at the intersection of past, present, and future. MOIRAI weaves a comprehensive understanding of the ocean’s dynamics and biogeochemical cycles through advanced models, integrating historical data, current observations, and future projections. Integrated into the frameworks of Destination Earth (DE) and the European Digital Twin of the Ocean (DTO), MOIRAI will significantly advance our comprehension and mitigation of climate-related challenges.
