California’s new framework for #30x30 in coastal waters sets an ambitious, science-based, world-leading standard for ocean conservation 🌊🌎 while also promoting equitable access 🏄‍♂️🎣 Public comment is open until October. Hope to see you at a summer workshop!
We just launched a 120-day public comment period ✍️ on our draft 30x30 Decision-Making Framework for Coastal Waters! 🌊 Visit opc.ca.gov/30x30 to review the document and learn more about in-person workshops and opportunities to share your feedback! #30x30CA 🐟

The value of field research in academia. "...the constraints imposed by fieldwork are often incompatible with high publication rates, journal impact factors, and citation counts, which are valued by hiring & tenure committees...." This needs to change! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

New research from @CCFRP - a partnership between scientists, agencies, and fishermen 🎣 - documents higher fish biomass in bigger and older marine protected areas across California.
So excited to finally see this paper out in @ConLetters! We worked collaboratively w/ recreational anglers (@CCFRP) to sample 12 MPAs over 6 years & found evidence to further support age and size matter for fish across a temperate reserve network. doi.org/10.1111/conl.13000
