#MarineBiology #FieldResearch #MARE2026
Science of the total environment (elsevier) gets deindexed.
This is your regular reminder to please stop chasing impact factors and shitty metrics so we can stop feeding this awful system...
An alternative is to publish in more society journals (when possible).
First time at WIOMSA Congress @wiomsa.bsky.social looking forward for the week ahead! #science #networking #IndianOcean
An image with a dark blue background features a single glowing orange jellyfish in the centre. Around it is simple, dashed-line drawings of various marine animals, including a shark, different types of fish, and small schools of fish. In the top half of the image, white text reads, “About 91% of ocean species are yet to be discovered.” Below, more white text says, “60 countries have just made history to protect their future.” In the bottom right corner, there is a logo of the European Commission.
The tide has turned for our oceans.
60 countries have ratified the High Seas Treaty, entering into force in early 2026.
A historic first to protect biodiversity beyond national waters through marine protected areas, enforceable sustainability, and shared responsibility ↓

Excellent thread on what is going on at academic journals, from the perspective of an editor.
Clearly highlights the strain (direct.mit.edu/qss/article/...) caused by quantitative incentives, and that publishers cannot be allies in solving the mess -- they are part of the problem & profit from it.

This image illustrates Earth Overshoot Day using a visual metaphor: planet Earth hanging a “SORRY WE’RE CLOSED” sign in space. The message below reads, “We have exceeded our natural resource budget for 2025,” emphasizing the urgent need to live within ecological limits.
24 July is #EarthOvershootDay. That means humanity has used up Earth’s yearly natural resources budget in just 7 months. In 2024, the date was 1 August.
The date keeps creeping earlier—but the trend can be reversed: www.genevaenvironmentnetwork.org/resources/up...
Bottom trawling continues to destroy vulnerable marine ecosystems.
95+ scientists have signed a letter calling on States & @UN to fully implement existing commitments to protect seamounts from destructive fishing practices.
