I think that our research must impact society. The best way to check this is through the impact on policies. This can be done using Sage. In my case, 2899 citations in 1312 policy documents around the globe

From the map of countries having signed but not ratified the High Seas Treaty, we can see some large economies (USA, UK, India, Canada....) that can compromise the daily functioning of this important #biodiversity agreement

They scored RFMOs and then said "We did not find that RFMO scores were correlated with better management outcomes" 🙃

It's been 15 years since an independent performance review of the regulatory bodies that manage fisheries in two-thirds of our oceans. A new analysis led by Gabrielle Carmine, Ph.D.'25, and Pat Halpin’s lab, provides an updated picture.
High Seas Fisheries Management Falls Short of Mandates, Analysis Finds
The review comes as the United Nations prepares to enforce a new oceans treaty that will require collaboration with these management bodies.

We identified Fraser’s dolphins swimming over 400 km between Caribbean islands. This shows strong ecological connectivity—but also highlights the need for joined-up conservation.
Dolphins don’t recognise national borders—neither should marine policies.
