I agree - it's trivial and close to nothing ....

But hasn’t HELCOM producer and published 3 Integrated Ecosystem Assessments since 2010 (HOLAS1, HOLAS2 and HOLAS3)? All 3 seems to be data- and tool-based using HEAT, BEAT, CHASE and BSPI/BSII. All these tools are fully documented in peer-reviewed articles.

📣🌊 A joint statement for and from the Baltic

The side event by ICES and DG MARE alongside #ICESASC25 last week concludes with a joint statement calling for adaptive science, coordinated governance across sectors, and new tools to support Baltic Sea recovery.

Women, non-native English speakers & those form low-income countries are disadvantaged in science but by how much? We found that women with non-English first languages from low-income countries publish up to 70% fewer in English than their counterparts. 1/5

#languagebarriers

Scientific productivity gap based on English-language peer-reviewed papers. Shown are the maximum % differences in the number of peer-reviewed papers published by female native English speakers from a high-income country (-45%), female non-native English speakers from a high-income country (-60%), and female non-native English speakers from a lower-middle income country (-70%), compared to male native English speakers from a high-income country (red flag).

We should come to terms with the fact that industrial fishing is one of the most destructive things we do to the ocean.

Rage Against the Miocene @organiccarbon.bsky.social · Jul 4

To the non-expert, this will seem esoteric, so allow me to summarise: we have profoundly altered the distribution of nutient elements on the ocean, with a potentially profound impact on the life that lives in it.

Being at the #Aquasync synthesis symposium led by @2xges.bsky.social .

Learning about aquatic research & announcing 1st funded working groups as part of the global call on Biodiversity & Climate change. EXCITING!

And hearing about @nceas-ucsb.bsky.social success from Ben Halpern.

Nice place too!
