Some good information from Dr. @alexwinkrsa for ski-boat anglers about how to effectively catch-and-release fish while bottom fishing...

Evidence for pro-environmental
reform on the SFSA Facebook group!
This paper underscores the potential of what can be accomplished by a dedicated group of people, promoting a conservation-oriented mindset, using a ubiquitous instrument of change.

This meta-analysis shows that #MPAs can enhance carbon sequestration, coastal protection, biodiversity, reproduction and increase fishers’ catch and income. But only in really protected and older MPAs. @MPAsSA1

PhD opportunity with Neil Metcalfe, @mikemwebster, & myself. Why are some individuals within species more social than others? This seems to relate to energy demand, but does mitochondrial efficiency play a role? You could find the answer!

A very interesting read incorporating the intensity and duration of stressors, stressors in combination, various types of plasticity, and interspecific variation. Congratulations @MadisonEarhart and co.

We have had a great response to our #OceanLiteracy survey. Thank you. It's still open if you have not responded. The results will be shared to help us all to do more effective ocean communication. @wiomsa #WIOMSA2022 @WIOGEN1 @NCSecretariat #marsocsci @2OceansAquarium

Here is the link to the South African #OceanLiteracy survey. We will share the results widely and use them to design more effective ocean communication. Please help us by completing the survey and sharing it. 🙏 @2OceansAquarium @saambr #marsocsci surveymonkey.co.uk/r/OLinSou…

And a very clear call for more science communication. Maybe now is the time to seriously work together for more #scicomm in the @wiomsa community. Anyone want to join us? #WIOMSA2022 @2OceansAquarium @marinajoubert @SciBraai @NRF_SAIAB

Great session on recreational fisheries at #WIOMSA2022. So much more research needed in this field. Well done @MattWFarthing @alexwinkrsa @NWambiji @billfishExpert @SAFER_Lab @wpotts18 @wiomsa #RecFish

Happening now at #WIOMSA2022 is our Special Session on Marine Recreational Fisheries (MRF) in the WIO. Good start on context setting; What do we know about MRF? What are the implications of COVID19 on MRF in Africa? What are the potential impacts of fishing tourism?

Fascinating results of research in #MPAs in Tanzania. Between 2003 and 2021 the social impacts of the MPAs were positive. @MPAsSA1 @2OceansAquarium #WIOMSA2022

Time-honored, collective knowledge gathered by specialists, (fishers’ ecological knowledge), used in conjunction with traditional sampling significantly assists in life history studies in cases of data-deficient species and limited research funding.
Well done Ryan and co-authors!
