Super interesting discussions at the Coastal Carbon Ecosystems Symposium

Some highlights were
- How to merge carbon objectives with Maine priorities
- How to use indigenous knowledge in western methodologies
- Reframing "gaps" as opportunities for growth

Thanks Bigelow for hosting

🔊 This the season! Looking or two MSc students to tackle
1. vocal efficiency across pipit species
and, surpsingly,
2. vocal tract anatomy of the great cormorant (bonus: I also have the heads to model hearing!)

Drop me a line! I love people! :)

Interesting development in the whales-and-wind saga. Someone's playing this one very smart.

Repeating - anyone who tries to shut down offshore wind for right whale conservation and does nothing about entanglements is either a fool or has a motive other than whale conservation.

⚓ NEW PUBLICATION! Thrilled that the first paper of the Scottish Vessel Project is now published in Marine Policy showing how AIS data only represents ~40% of coastal vessel traffic around Scotland.
