This international women’s day we celebrate the inspiring women that are part of, and work alongside our group.
The UN’s theme for #IWD is “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls”- learn more here: www.unwomen.org/en/get-invol...

The photos from a UN fact finding mission to northern Gaza which were part of a diplomatic cable suppressed by the US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, have been released by Drop Site News. These are the genocidal conditions in Gaza that Lew specifically tried to hide from the White House and public.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

It’s hard to discuss fully here, plus I’m not the best person to do so. Do send me a DM & I will put you in touch with the modelling group who can do a much better job of explaining the nuances & details.
Because many of the places where population is expected to grow is a) where income is expected to grow & b) where consumption is currently lowest, we project a greater growth in demand for fish production that would be expected from global averages based on population alone.
Of course, people could meet the recommendations with much lower levels of fish consumption, as the bottom range is 0, but this is less likely. + The aim was to establish how feasible a realistic shift is, how much change is required & explore if that’s possible within safe & just boundaries.
All the EAT-Lancet recommendations have a range-e.g. dairy is 0-500g/d, fish 0-100g/d, beef 0-30g/d. The scenarios make assumptions about where different populations are likely to fall in that range, based on preferences, wealth, etc.
& the opposite is true (eg Europe). Plus the diet is flexible (ie fish recommendations from 0-100g/day) & the areas where population is expected to grow are where increases in income are expected. The expectation is that with increases in income demand for higher value goods increases.
Sorry just seen this (+ caveat I was most involved in the justice part). A number of factors go into the models including population, income, & preferences. The main factor driving increases is the areas with most catch up are where population growth is also to be greatest (eg parts of S Asia & SSA)

Cross-ecosystem nutrient fluxes can influence recipient food webs. @cbenkwitt.bsky.social &co's study of #NutrientSubsidies shows that dynamic metrics better revealed flow & effects of #seabird derived nutrients through #CoralReef food chains @lec-reefs.bsky.social @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/44RFyJk

Looking forward to it!
In my way to a series of exciting workshops in Lancaster and Montpellier - we’ll be developing the next generation bright spots analysis. Watch this space… @lec-reefs.bsky.social

Brilliant Bryce, and super clear!
The way the seafood industry operates is an excellent illustration of how a complex global supply chain impacts environmental, social and economic sustainability. As this article - which quotes Pentland Centre member @christinahicks.bsky.social - demonstrates.

Transparency is at the heart of everything we do - on the water, in policy and across digital spaces.
That’s why we’ve joined Bluesky. As more researchers, advocates and institutions move here, we’re showing up to share open data, science and stories that power ocean protection.
I don’t think so, Science now asks that “authors of Letters also make readers aware of financial and advisory competing interests.” After a contentious trophy hunting letter in 2019 raised complaints of conflict of interest

Always happy to discuss where this is necessary and possible
