Just in time for #COP30, I left my usual warmer waters to work with a great set of folks on this research that illuminates (pun intended) how climate change will impact the amount of light reaching Arctic marine ecosystems. Key findings include: (1/4) rdcu.be/eOz1L

More light, warmers waters, and lower productivity in summer will drive declines in the growth and survival of cold water fish species like polar cod. Warmer water species like walleye pollock and Atlantic cod may capitalize on these changing conditions. (3/4)

Greater northward expansion of warmer water species may ultimately restructure Arctic foods webs. Our work demonstrates the importance of considering the multidimensional impacts of climate change. (4/4)

Our paper shows that the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA), a global agreement to end #IUUFishing, has made it harder for foreign vessels to land catches where they are not subject to PSMA monitoring. We highlight ways to strengthen its impact: 1/ tinyurl.com/yfx5t2hb

Our results indicate that similar port state measures for domestic fleets fishing in international waters and effective implementation of PSMA will become increasingly key to fighting IUU fishing. 7/

#NewPaper in @ScienceAdvances finds that domestic fishing vessels account for the majority of port visits around the world. Comprehensive inspections at port for both foreign and domestic fishing fleets are a key deterrent for #illegalfishing. ๐Ÿ”—stanford.io/45LXlB2

As climate change pushes fish stocks to new places, temperature, rainfall, waves, and storms will impact fishers' health and well-being, especially as they embark on potentially longer journeys to catch the same amount of fish. More in our new paper: tinyurl.com/yc669f8p

Tracking shifting stocks may also change the rules that govern fisher safety and opportunities for them to seek recourse and remedy as they move across jurisdictions.

Women represent ~1/2 of the fisheries workforce, yet their contributions are undervalued. 8 national reports (with more on the way) highlight opportunities to increase gender equity in the fisheries sector โžก๏ธ bit.ly/3OeQBEv #InternationalWomensDay2024 ๐Ÿ“ท Alli Cutting
