🥳Thanks for putting new information into peer reviewed research @gporrinos.bsky.social @ananuno.bsky.social @faunaflora.bsky.social etc. #OceanOptimism

Financiado por @blueactionfund.org e #Arcadia e implementado por @faunaflora.bsky.social MARAPA Oikos e FundaçãoPrincipe (tmb é o 2º artigo do meu PhD supervisado pelo @kristianmetcalfe.bsky.social @ananuno.bsky.social etal). Obrigado aos coautores e pescadores e comerciantes que coletaram os dados!

Novo artigo em #OpenAccess! Usando questionários de dispositivos móveis e uma abordagem participativa, monitoramos a pesca artesanal de #SãoTomé e #Príncipe. Durante 4 anos, os pescadores e comerciantes de peixe coletaram dados de 12,000+ viagens de pesca! Leiam o artigo aqui doi.org/10.1111/csp2...

Research funded by @blueactionfund.org & #Arcadia and implemented by @faunaflora.bsky.social Fundação Príncipe, Oikos & MARAPA (also 2nd chapter of my PhD supervised by @ananuno.bsky.social @kristianmetcalfe.bsky.social etal!) Many thanks to coauthors and fishers and fish traders who collected data!

New #OpenAcess paper! We used app-based, participatory landing surveys to monitor Small-Scale #Fisheries in #SãoTomé and #Príncipe. Fishers and fish traders collected high-resolution data on 12k+ fishing trips, filling critical data gaps for management. Read full article here doi.org/10.1111/csp2...

Breaking the glass

Latin America is a leader in nonprofit open-access journals. But it struggles to give them global visibility

Ocean fish swimming among microplastics

Road runoff outfalls mapped on the Watershed Pollution Map

The single largest source of microplastics in the ocean is road runoff pollution. Microplastics, mainly from car tyres, are washed off our roads into storm drains, into rivers, out to sea, every time it rains. 🧵

What can turtles tell us about noise in the ocean? In our new paper in Biological Conservation, leatherback 🐢 collect underwater sound data to map natural and human noise in the soundscape facing critical nesting beaches 🚢🔊
