#MarineSABRES

Arrived too early for @marinesabres.bsky.social project meeting today!

Delighted to gather as a consortium this week at @unipisa.bsky.social for our third project General Assembly!
Our coordination team, stakeholder engagement experts, & reps from our 3 Demonstration Areas have been updating on data, research & outreach 💙 #horizoneurope #EBM #BlueEconomy #MarineSABRES

🌊 Teachers across Europe: ready to play for the ocean?
Join the @marinesabres.bsky.social School Competition 2025 on 21 Nov 2025 (World Fisheries Day) and guide your students (10-18) through a free online Serious Game on ocean-human connections.

Am 03.10.13 sank vor #Lampedusa ein Boot mit hunderten fliehenden Menschen. Nur wenige Tage später, am 11.10. sank ein weiteres Boot. Insgesamt starben innerhalb weniger Tage über 600 Menschen.

⚠️Paper Alert!⚠️
Excited to share this paper with @roccoro.bsky.social where we examined whether ceramic technology in Saharan Africa was the result of a single or multiple episodes of innovation & diffusion

If you’re applying to your dream lab for an internship/PhD/postdoc, always send a second email 1-2 weeks after the first one if you don’t hear back.

I promise we will be grateful rather than annoyed. My email inbox is a disaster and I’m quite junior - and very few of us have secretarial support

Remember that #GES4SEAS project hosts the #MarinART Challenge, an international competition that celebrates urban art inspired by the ocean. Organized by @azti.bsky.social , submit photographs of ocean-themed murals and street art. Look those submitted!

New Publication!👀 Sharing our latest peer-reviewed publication, led by @drangelborja.bsky.social @azti.bsky.social! The paper emerged from #SciComm Summer School in San Sebastián, 2024 & highlights the role of effective SciComm in bridging the #marineresearch/policy gap🔗 www.marinesabres.eu/results

Since the 1990s the number of science-policy interfaces (SPIs) has grown to inform decision-making about global environmental crises. Velander studied how SPIs collaborate & found influential individuals & the UN promote collaboration but hurdles limit knowledge co-production doi.org/10.1016/j.en...

Absolutely delighted 🎉 to have been part of this journey that started with an inspiring Summer School in 2024 all around #marine #ScienceCommunication and big thanks to @drangelborja.bsky.social for leading this enjoyable collaboration! Check out our publication 👇

Despite research showing #CitizenScience can support #policy-making, e.g., raising environmental awareness, citizen science remains under-used in policy-making. Hölscher et al. "highlight the potential of mainstreaming citizen science to enhance #environmental #policy-making" doi.org/10.1016/j.en...

Understanding audiences is key to #communication about #climate change. F. Willick reports on a new study by @dalhousie.bsky.social‬ researchers that shows understanding the #personality roots of climate #skepticism can help in developing effective messaging strategies www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

#Stakeholder engagement is widely viewed as essential in marine science-policy interfaces to support informed decision-making. Kopke et al. demonstrated the effectiveness of an online engagement process that resulted in productive/collaborative outcomes @kathkopke.bsky.social doi.org/10.1007/s442...

Happy to announce the availability of our #openaccess paper lead by our SCEI research group lead @kathkopke.bsky.social: "Online #StakeholderEngagement to Bridge the Science-Policy Interface for #MarinePollution Research: Adaptation & Evaluation of the #FocusedConversationMethod & #ORIDFramework"!

New Paper🚨: Its been an absolute pleasure to collaborate on this SOS-ZEROPOL2030 Publication led by @vliz.be Lisa Devriese!!! We assessed and compared the current state of persistent and emerging pollutants with the EU environmental goals and ambitions. www.frontiersin.org/journals/mar...
